This is a very important week for birthdays. First we had several important people born on November 2 and now we have a birthday on November 4 that CANNOT be forgotten.

November 4 is the birthday of our beloved Captain, aka Richard Murray. Richard and I have a little game where he calls me “The Boss” and I call him, “The Captain.”

Richard is another one of those people who will do anything for me and Joe and Plain City Druggist. He has spent countless hours putting up Christmas lights, fixing cupboards and toilets, and taking us out in his boat on Lake Erie.

We hope Richard will have a wonderful day doing all the things he enjoys–working in his puzzle books, watching old cowboy movies, and taking his red headed Texan wife out for a dinner at Ann and Tony’s in West Jefferson.

Happy Birthday to The Captain. May you have many, many more days at sea! We love you. (The photo below is a rare picture of Richard when he was just a “baby angel”–even then he was keeping track of those fish!)
