Yeah, that's right! Happy Birthday Dude!
Thought you'd get away scott free?
Anthony was born on this day in 1981. If you believe in brilliance or charm or goodness or love then he is a combination of these attributes. I am not sure if I should write a 20,000 word essay full of adjectives describing what a gentle spirit this young man has because I fear it would not do him justice. So I will say this:
Happy Birthday Anthony!
You are a tribute to this community!
At a meetup of the
San Francisco Kossacks Group in Napa, CA last year my love and I cherished a moment with Anthony. He rode with us to a restaurant and market to purchase some food and beverages for the group. I am ten years older than he is, but he is much more mature and dignified than I will ever be. I am somewhat ashamed of this, but what is a boy to say?
Someday soon, I will be impatiently nagging my love (if I'm lucky she'll be my wife by then) and my children to hurry up and put on their finest attire so we can get to the Governor's Mansion on time for a dinner with Anthony and his lovely family.
He is prolific and profound and his future is bright. He is one of the many who will lead our cause from despair.
Let's honor him, his mother, his father, and his loved ones on this day!
A toast to Anthony on his birthday!
