Many happy returns — literally & figuratively!

Happy Birthday (No. 37!) to the gentleman pictured in today’s snapshot lede. He started out in the shipping dep’t. over here at Cynthia Publishing Co., way back when, and it appears he’s done OK for himself since then — no lasting psychological or emotional damage sustained, unlike some of us others who continue to shuffle around in a shellshocked daze! Just kidding — maybe! At any rate, mazel! Yom huledet samecha etc.!

Housekeeping!
