Happy Birthday Joe!!!!

[Ginny]

Tomorrow is the first day of spring, but it's a very special day for another reason.

Tomorrow is our very own Captain's birthday!!

Joe, on behalf of everyone on the forum, I think I can honestly say that we can't thank you enough for starting this forum. I've met so many amazing people (including yourself), and learned so much more about The Cottars and other bands as well.
I've had so much fun coming here the last 10 months.

Also, I'd like to thank you myself for giving me the great jobs of correspondent and global moderator. It means a lot to me.

So anyway, I hope you have an amazing day tomorrow!! Many many birthday wishes from me, and everyone else.
I can't really give you a present, but here's a )hug(! lol

Lots of birthday cheers!
Ginny

;D

P.S. Your brother is your twin, is he not? If so, then happy birthday to him to, of course!

Happy Birthday Joe!

I agree to everything Ginny said. I came here in late August also to find out more about the Cottars, since their website never got updated. And it's become one of my favorite places to visit, to find out about the Cottars and other groups, and to share our experiences.

I also thank you for all the information about the Cottars, your messages from Alister and the research you've done about how the group is doing. They're one of my favorite groups and you've help me keep track of what's going on (or not going on) with each of them. It means a great deal to me too.

And I wanted to ask, if you are indeed a twin, then did you ever have to share presents, like get one present for the two of you? I'm sure you had to wear the same types of clothes all the time, so I won't ask that.

Hi everyone!

I thank all of you for your birthday wishes. I had a good day...some surprises. My twin brother John received a scratch-off lottery ticket and won $100 ! Our dad's birthday is tomorrow March 23.

My family are all going out to dinner on Sunday...to an Indian restaurant.

Thanks for sticking with the forum, even w/ this lack of news etc. you are all visiting and posting. I truly appreciate your friendship.

Lots of love, hugs and handshakes to you all.

"your Captain"
Joe
