It’s been a real pleasure to see people realize the calibre of your character, and your goals during your Presidency. I well remember the mocking by persons such as Johnny Carson, of your origins. Your brother and his “Billy Beer” were another subject of derision.

Despite this, you have quietly gotten the work done. Habitat for Humanity is hands-on noble work that gets real results. No bloated organization here; just getting families into homes. I was proud to volunteer my time for Habitat.

Happy Birthday to you, sir, and this person thanks you for holding your lamp high enough to light a goodly path.
