Thank You,DragonFox!!!!Anything not received by Today will of course be sent in a second mailing.....So don't be afraid to go ahead and mail if you haven't yet.....probably will take him a couple days to get thru all of the cards,lol....
Old neighbors, Fellow Scout Troop Leaders,friends of his and friends/co-workers of all of his kids have all joiined in on the Birthday Wishes...will ask for a final Accounting of the number of cards/signatures!
Again, this is a wonderful tribute for him, more than we ever dreamed and hoped for....here I am getting all emo again!

Will tell Ernie his card arrived when I see him for lunch. Thanks for posting DM. Could the "same town as one in Ireland" be Dublin? In NorCal as you know. Ashley sent 6 or 7 cards for me Tues. They will be late as I just couldn't quite manage to get all together. The little tissue wrapped gift you saw in B D bag was Mickey holding up a cute B D cake. Too perfect! Had to get this. :)

Purpie and I finally sent out ours yesterday. Just to let you know, DisneyMom, I couldn't find a standard birthday card that I felt was dignified enough for an 80 year old retired marine, so we did a simple blank card, and wrote a note in it. Hopefully he won't mind.

I hope mine arrives soon! I sent a postcard rather than a birthday card, as the postcards seem to reach the US much faster than a regular card or letter for some reason.
