John was a history major, not a mathematician, so the way he calculates his age differs from most. At age 70, he decided he would count backwards, starting at 21. He is now eleven years old, although most of us think he is 80.
Here are two photos of the celebration his sisters had for him in June.
Then there was the cake on his birthday.
It was followed the day after with a visit from my brother Bob and Beth.
Thank you to all of them and you who called, emailed, and texted. He enjoyed all the quiet attention and feels he has been properly launched into his eleventh year.
Happy Birthday, John!
My goodness…John had a grant celebration……Happy birthday to him.

Maybe arrange for him to be the conductor of a steam engine for his next birthday Anne? I bet he would love that!

Excellent idea! I don’t know what would be involved. John will know where the nearest stream engine is. I haven’t a clue.

I’ll celebrate with him as long as he promises to start counting up again when he hits zero or one. 🙂 Don’t want that being the end of him.
