Happy Birthday Fred
« on: January 30, 2013, 07:38:10 AM »
A little (narrow gauge) birdie said that today is a special day... it's our favorite tree cutters birthday! 

We don't know how old Fred is but we heard that his Social Security number is 1  :o

Happy Birthday Fred - from all your WW&F friends.  Have a great day!!

Better have the Alna Fire Department on alert if Fred's cake has candles!

Happy Birthday, Fred! I've heard that you are now entitled to 20 minute breaks between your exertions rather than just fifteen minutes. For the mathematically inclined, I would point out that each year you are getting older by a smaller percentage rate. For example, Rider is getting older about 10% each year (10-11), while Julius is getting older only about 1% a year. Best wishes!

I think the 1per cent takes a bigger toll as we get older John. Don't you? Thanks everyone. I hope you all put up with my big mouth, at times I find I say things I don't mean.

Happy birthday, Fred!  Stop leading these guys on and tell them you're just turning 40!

Happy Birthday Fred. I can honestly say the museum is a better place because of you, and you help make it an unforgettable experience. I have enjoyed working with you, and hope to be able to work with you for many more years. Singing and all.
