Happy Birthday Russ!

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
I miss Russ, Albert, and Mack. Russ and I were on opposite ends of the spectrum politically, but he sent me several pleasant PM's during his stay here. Mack and I agreed on almost nothing, and he never could get past those issues with me. Albert was a dear friend who I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to several times by phone, and I shared a considerable amount of correspondence with him on various matters. I would break bread and shake hands with all of these gentlemen if the opportunity were still there, and I regret that I never had the chance to meet, in person, any of them.
Happy Birthday, Russ, we'll turn out the light for you.
I'll do a poll this weekend and let you guys decide if we want the birthday announcements for our SK members to remain. Let's table that thought for now in honor of our departed friends.
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
Thought about this for a minute... and kinda like the idea of remembering everyone at least annually; Birthdays seem like a good way to do it.
took a minute to get past the awkward, but, The sentiment seems very Island-like and positive.

Thinking about it and remembering the members that are not longer here and if that can be done with saying H.B. fine.
I had the peasure to have a bunch P.M's with Albi, and met the rest here on the board, it certainly added to my life.
If my presence can do the same, i'm happy, though i realise i will never be anywhere close in the same league as Albi.
Just more kudo's to him and his legacy.

Best of all, we can't refer to him as OM anymore :)

There you go, Happy Memory Day. Gerry you started something really nice. And an Island exclusive.

I'm doing a shot in his honor tonight :)
Russ and I rarely saw eye to eye on political/social issues. He was too damn nice of a man to even hold 1 second of bitterness against. He was a classy human being, knowing that, there is no doubt that he was a classy radio operator as well.
Happy birthday my 5 land friend!
