I have to admit that it nearly got by me, but I sent him a message last Thursday.
No one remembered it here? Amazing! This often gets 30 or so well-wishers, even after the fact.
His birthday was in the "Almanac" section of the morning newspaper, although Barry Banker on AM 620 completely skipped the celebrity birthdays this morning.
Last year, Richard replied personally, thanking me for remembering.
This May, he stopped communicating with everyone, at least myself and Tim. The reason why is still a mystery to me, but after a while, you learn to not take things personally and move on.
But for a while, he stepped outside the person he'd been widely reported to be, and actually came across as someone you wouldn't mind being friends with, someone who you felt might actually smile when he read your missives once in a while.
If you read this, hey, it's only a number, and it's how old you feel in your heart. So have a big piece of cake and ice cream on me, and savor the taste of the moment...(wink)
