Thank you from Billie MacLeod and his family - "Thank you" from Billie MacLeod to all the people who took the time to send the numerous (93!) Birthday cards. If anyone is having trouble finding a card with "100" on it, it's because they are all here!! Dad enjoyed each one and couldn't believe people would take the time to get him a card. One hundred years is quite a milestone and we are very proud of his accomplishment. Thanks for making his day, or three, so special! Jill, Brian and Joy
