Comments: Dear Kathy and Mark: I'm guessing, at this point,
that I'm one of the last ot weigh in on this madness--and I call it
madness having read Saville's entry, and that it was posted twice.
Throw in Pohlson's mystery posting, and there's a lot to be said for
the theory of mass hallucination. There might have been a time when
I would have questioned the sanity of my Loyola friends, but, in the
end, I realize that most of these entries are from ADGs. Also, I can
make these claims as I'm just as unbalanced as they; only the
reasons are different. Happy birthday again, Kathy, and thanks,
Mark. This has been fun. Let's check back at 75. --Rick (I'm sparing
Tracy the aforementioned embarrassment in this segment by not

Comments: Hi Kath,
I can't believe that you've stayed with that hack from Cable TV
Supply for so long. Apparently most of the other upstanding people
signing this birthday wish also know you could have done much
better...you could have mated with the guy the in warehouse....the
old man cooking the books...the Consolidated Freight truck
driver...anyone else....but no, you've stock by the loser you picked
all these years. I guess that's commendable. Tell me again what do
you see in him?
Well, the good thing is now that you are 50 and still looking like a
knockout you can find a replacement for Mark on the Internet pretty
easily and sell the old boy off. We've got some real winners out
here on the West coast if you want to come back here.
Have a Happy 50th Kath and just remember what Mark is going to look
like in 50 more years when you celebrate your 100th. Trade him in
for a younger model now, while you still can.
Hugs,

what it might be like to be 50. Must be hard, huh? Well, Kathleen,
its obviously been much, much, much too long. But this is a great
excuse to re-establish an old (really old) relationship (or is it a
tradition?). I loved the photo album! Holy smokes..........you look
great; Meagan & Mikey look great! Mark.....well the years have
taken a toll, but he has a good heart. I would like to mention some
treasured moments, like the time after our double dinner date when
Mark opened your door & you rolled out of the car onto our
driveway...........but, then again, you might bring up some
"picture words" that might cause my subconscience to grab
hold of past events........coliseums......nuns.......Irish
Coffees..........Let's not go there. Well, I know we will get

your birthday wishes!! What a surprise they were!! I bet most of you
did not know we were friends with the Canadian Prime Minister and
his wife: George and Laura, nor that "calculating the age
thing" really makes me 1,000 years old!! I had tears in my eyes
reading all of them! From my teenage years through my studious years
in Glassboro, to warm and wonderful years in Sunny California, to my
years and friends in the South, and, now the very nice place we call
home... Please let's keep in touch, even the ones of you who I had
lost your E mails. You know who you are... As for Mark...I am happy
I married him; although there was that constant theme running
through that many of you think otherwise. I know you are kidding. At
least I think I do. His friends in Ca. always question me, and one
Glenmoore resident has stated I will be sainted for my years I have
been married to him. What a wonderful present this has been!! Please

he's from California, has a good tan, likes to surf, and goes to
church on Sundays.....He asks her to come to California and maybe
they could go to Disneyland w/ him and a couple of his friends (yea
right)....what are you gonna tell her? oh honey isnt it just dreamy?
that's how your father and i met....well you've had a good many

became our good friend, and still put up w/ Mr Manning for all these

first Comscope calendar at your New Year's Eve party?? It does not
seem that long ago... is that too far back for you to remember?
Michael was the only child at that time and here we were all alone
across the street in our empty house that we both filled over the
next few years. When you moved to Hickory I didn't think that I
could bear it. I missed you daily!! You were always there with an
open heart and mind and oh and an open bottle of wine! Here we are
18 years later...and I WISH that you were still across the street!
We will plan to get together soon for a quiet jump into the 50's. I
hope you have a wonderful day!! Love always, Mary P.S. I was happy

Comments: Kathleen. Happy Birthday!!!! I really enjoyed
looking at the pictures of you and your family. You must be so proud
looking back over alllllllllllllllll those years. I've heard that
once you turn 50, the memories start to kind of overlap and then the
events of the last year (or several years in your case) start to
almost blur together. But I've also heard that sometimes they don't
even blur together anymore, they just kind of fade away and then you
end up relying on Mark to fill in the blanks(heaven forbid)... :-)
Anyway, in all sincerity, I send my best wishes to you on this
special birthday. You've had 50 great years and a wonderful family
to be proud of. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy

that a mere twenty plus years ago we met you and Mark down in sunny
Santa Ana, winds and all. Let's look back for a minute. Why were so
many events that we went to together centered around adult
beverages? Except for those pregnant moments, and boy you and Nora
were sure pregnant! How about the swollen days of the Strawberry
Festival! It sure is great to be the proud parents of babies born in
Cal. We still are amazed that you could actually drink daquiris and
margaritas in the old Big A, and no one can certainly forget the
advent of the Irish Irish, a drink developed well before it's time
and in the confines of your garage. From the days of Chuck, Kay,
Jean, Al, Tom, and Pat, to now, we are damn glad to know you, Mark
and your family. We wish you health and happiness on your birthday

Comments: Kathy, What a great idea! Getting the email
announcing your birthday brought back a flood of memories. How lucky
for us that our families moved to Newtown Square around the same
time. How many miles did we walk together on Boot Road and Goshen
Road and in your beautiful development! How many fun sleepovers did
we have, staying up late, reading magazines, playing pranks on our
younger siblings! And then our fun just spilled over to the Jersey
shore each summer to the Second Street beach and the boardwalk every
night. It is no wonder that we both still visit OC with our
families. And then, when your family moved away, we kept in touch,
visited, shared our milestones. I will never forget your wonderful
long, newsy letters, your fantastic laugh and sense of humor, your
sense of adventure, your commitment to family. I hope you have a
great, great birthday. I hope also that we get to visit again

century, that way you don’t have any more nagging questions to
answer and you only have to remember one number – “100.”
That’s right you now round to 100, so happy 100th and welcome to

Comments: Dear Katie-Bob, OK, since my lovely wife has
already submitted the kinder-gentler birthday sentiments (which I
share entirely, by the way), I am free to share some random birthday
thoughts. 1. I remember thinking that first night at ChiChi's...hmmm...how
could such a babe be with such a certifiable nut case? Good women,
bad choices. Here it is some sixteen years later and both
descriptions are still totally accurate! 2. The Ham, the Fruitcake,
Mexican St. Paddys, Wheat Beer, Dwarf Tossing, post-it name
tags...here I thought all of these were Mark's creations. Last
weekend he admitted that you were the brains behind these all-time
classics. Put that way, I had to believe him. Wait till Roe and Bob
find out that the Xmas name tag stunt was your idea! 3. Here it
comes, you knew that I would ask....."What are your
wearing????". On your 50th, it is now officially OK to say,
"Flannel Pajamas with Footies". 4. I have always had a
thing for Pat Benitar. I had no idea that you were her stunt double.
Trust me, that picture is already downloaded and safely tucked into
my wallet. "Hit me with your best shot...." 5. Here's
hoping that Mark gets YOU a nice big box full of Commscope giveways
for your birthday. I know that I always look forward to that. 6. A
couple of us got together and petitioned Rome to get you on the
cannonization fast-track. After learning what you have had to put
with all these years, all OTHER miracle requirements have been
waived. Congratulations, St. Kathleen, the patron saint of marital
patience! Remember, Kath, 50 is only a number. Here's to one of the
kindest, most beautiful, smartest, most considerate, funnest (is
that a word?), and friendliest people I know. We are lucky to have
such dear friends in you and Mark. Thank God for the Upper Main Line
