Happy 50th!


I was just going to title this - "Happy Birthday," but I had to rub it in a little. We just had a great week with my dad here in Utah for his Spring Break - skiing, playing withe kids & being able to spend time & visit with Grandma & Grandpa, plus each one of his siblings at some point. It was lots of fun having him around, it took Polly a few days to realize that "Grandpa's room" had turned back into "Bruce's room." Here are a few pictures of the birthday boy over the years! Happy Birthday to the best father, son, grandpa, husband, brother, uncle, skier, marathon runner, teacher (I'm a little biased!) that I know! We love you Dad/Grandpa!

  1. Happy birthday Jake! And while I'm at it, thanks to Marie for saying yes to my proposal 12 years ago today.

  2. What? No band photos? How is it that such a big part of "March...two...three" birthday boy's life was not captured on film? Jake, you'll just have to celebrate by listening to some Tommy Dorsey music.

  3. Bill was correct - some of Jake's exciting life was, unfortunately, not recorded on film but I do have a few other embarrassing pictures on hand in case they are needed later. Norda especially enjoyed the one of "Jake and his shawl against the world" taken in Cub River canyon. Many happy returns!!

  4. Dudley, Nice work making it to 50. You wear it well! I'll let you know when the trombones in my garage go up on ebay so you can be part of the bidding.

  5. You've done a lot right over the years Dudley, keep it up. Many thanks to Lesa letting you play on the snow snow last week in celebration of the big five O. Hope the day was spent in happiness! The other Dudley.
