Wow, it's amazing to see such a diverse group of people all turning another year older today. It's incredible to think that Frank Buckles, who served in World War I, is still with us at 109 years old. And then we have gospel singer George Beverly Shea at 101, actor Stuart Whitman at 82, and singer Don Everly at 73. It's great to see that age is just a number for these talented individuals. I also can't believe that singer Ray Sawyer from Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show is 73, and actor Sherman Hemsley from The Jeffersons is 72. It's always interesting to see what different paths people take in life. I'm also impressed by the longevity of jazz musician Joe Sample at 71 and TV personality-singer Joy Philbin at 69. And let's not forget comedian Terry Jones at 68 and Sen. Mike Enzi at 66. It's amazing to see how these individuals have all made their mark in their respective fields. Happy birthday to all of them!
