Wow, what a diverse group of talented individuals! It's amazing to see how they have all had successful careers in different fields. I especially admire the longevity of country singer Ralph Stanley and actor Tom Courtenay, who are still going strong in their 80s. And it's always great to see Bob Schieffer reporting the news with such professionalism and experience. I also can't believe that Jack Handey is already 61, I still remember his hilarious Deep Thoughts segments on Saturday Night Live. Happy birthday to all of them and best wishes for many more years of success!
