Dear Beloved Janos,
A Thirteenth Birthday is always an important moment in your life. Today you are a man. How you have come to be so beloved to so many is a mystery to me, despite my years and acquired wisdom. But such is indeed the case.
In my country it is the custom to wish a birthday boy MANY HAPPY RETURNS. The idea is not to send you back into childhood, perish the thought. It is to invite you to emulate another octogenarian from a while back; G.G. Coulton's autobiography is entitled MY FIRST EIGHTY YEARS.
So, Go and do it again for your second eighty!
Love and affection from
Paul & Elaine Hyams
