From Carl Youngberg

Dear Willie,
A 50th birthday is a chance to pause and look backwards as well as forwards. We look back to see all the wonderful people that have filled our first 50 years and that still travel with us today. And we look forward to see the new directions our life will be taking. I continue to marvel at the exciting activities and work I get to do each day.

And this is so much more fun than a funeral.
Much Love, Carl Youngberg

This picture is when I met Willie when he spoke at the BMA luncheon
at the Aerobic Center years ago and liked him right away.

This railroad track picture is from that speech and it has always stuck with me.

These group pictures are from a birthday party for Judy Hoffman
several years agoand it was clearly a time of reconnecting with old friends.
