Happy Birthday Professor

[The Professor]

Thank you all very much for the kind words and the loving thoughts behind them.  As I've told people who ask about my commitment to the Faire and the people there, I have never met a larger, nicer group of people.  You are all so very special to me in ways uniquely your own. 

I hope I can show in some tangible way the esteem and affection I hold for you all here and those who come to visit us, in my conduct and what other things I can do to manifest that regard.

With my best,

Rob
