Hi Taylor:

Happy Birthday, dear friend!

What a great treat it's been for me to know and work with you all these many years as we've built two financial forums and co-authored two books together, as well as starting the annual Bogleheads Conferences which will be celebrating its 13th reunion this October.

This Marine salutes his paratrooper friend and wishes you many, many more happy birthdays.

Best regards,

Mel

I rarely post but am a long term reader of this forum. But occasions like this moves me to post. Wishing you a Happy Birthday and continued health and well being. Thank You for all you and some others do for making people like me become a Boglehead. Blessings, Gary

Happy Birthday Taylor!

I'm a 3-fund guy now, thanks to you. That's a huge financial gift you've given me. I wish I could return the favor in some way.

by **Keep It Simple** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:21 pm

Taylor,

I've learned a tremendous amount from you over the years. My favorite and most important bit of knowledge was also the most simple...The three fund portfolio!

Happy Birthday!

Mel:

Together, you and I have contributed 34,820 posts on this forum to join in Jack Bogle's crusade: "To give ordinary investors a fair shake." It's been a wonderful experience for me with thousands of caring on-line investor friends.

I also want to thank the thousands of Bogleheads who taught me much of what I know about mutual fund investing. Your friendship has brought real meaning to my life which (thankfully) is starting 89 years today.

Thank you and best wishes.
Taylor

Happy Birthday, Taylor! :beer

Like the others, I don't have much more to say except Thank You for helping me with my very first post on this forum (help with my portfolio). You PM'd me to say who you were and that the advice given here could be trusted. So, I hung around and followed the member's advice. That was one of the best investing decisions I have ever made.

by **BarbInSD** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:27 pm

Happy Birthday, Taylor!

I look forward to many, many more years of your sage investment advice and guidance.

My best wishes,

May good health and great wealth be with the King of Bogleheads for many more years to come.

Even though I never met Taylor in person, his sage advice with tact and diplomacy has been so valuable on the forum.

祝你健康快樂!

Knowing just a part of what you do behind the scene as Forum & Wiki Administrator, tells me that my PM (Private Message) was "one of the best investing decisions I have ever made."

Happy Birthday, Taylor:

As fate would have it, I emailed the following sentence today to a friend who recently moved his investments to Vanguard and is a lurker on the forum:

Following the advice of Jack Bogle, Taylor and Mel has put you on the right track. Those guys are in it for the right reasons. Their mission is helping the small investor rather than stuffing their own pockets.

Have a great birthday and many more. Just knowing you is a privilege.

by **2b2** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:41 pm

Taylor,
Thank you for all the service you have performed - both at home and overseas.
Happy Birthday !

Dear Taylor,

Although you'd likely deny it, I say you are a great man. A week from today I retire, much sooner than otherwise would have been possible had it not been for your advice over the years. Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Taylor. I appreciate your insights (always worded with care and to the point) and your quotation collections.
