Which version?

Happy Birthday, Terhune.

One good thing: you won't need birthday candles or Candlin's exclamation points when you begin to GLOW of XP-radiation!

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

Thank you all! Hey, at least now I'm playing with a full deck, all evidence
to the contrary notwithstanding.

but thought better of it.]

Now, take the rest of the day off and go have fun!!

Hi, Gary:

Are you by any chance related to Anne, my classmate at Boston College
Law School, class of 1981? To Lassie? Terhune is a rare name.

Dan

All Terhunes are descended from a single immigrant from Holland, from a
religious group that had been driven from France. Albert Albertson van der
Hune. (Not sure of spelling.) My ancestors are primarily from the Kansas
City region of Missouri, but yeah, Albert Payson Terhune, the dog story guy,
is a distant cousin. He wrote "Lad, A Dog" and a few others, but not the
Lassie story of TV fame. That's a different dog.
