Taylor's 90th Birthday
Hi Everyone:
Just wanted to give you a heads up that Taylor will be celebrating his 90th birthday on Saturday, Jan. 25th. Since you all won't be able to join me in Miami as we celebrate this great occasion all weekend long, I thought you might want to post your birthday wishes and thoughts here on this thread so Taylor can see how loved and respected he is on this very special day.
