Hi Doc,

I hear it's your 80th birthday. I certainly wish I could be there to congratulate you. I hope your 80th is a good one.

I am still over in Germany. Still doing music, but also studying mathematics. I am very happy. Also got married in 2011.

As you already know, Shakespeare at Winedale played a huge role in me becoming who I am. Without that experience there would be so much that I would be missing - and I wouldn't even know that I would be missing it. And I have that, thanks to you. To play's the thing.

So thanks again, and have a happy birthday,
Brett Youens, '96, '99
