Long live the King of the Bogleheads! Happy 99th Birthday, Taylor Larimore!!! Many thanks for your contributions to helping people know more financially.
Seventy-seven years ago this month, I had the honor of participating in the 1946 World War II Victory Parade in New York City. It was a thrill I will not forget. The feelings I had that day are small compared with your many posts that have brightened my life as I have grown older participating in this great forum.
Boglehead Kathleen Ryan whom I barely know, started this thread wishing me a Happy 99th Birthday. Her post has received hundreds of Replies with similar good wishes.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
Thank you so much.
Taylor

Happy Birthday, Taylor! I just finished reading The First Wave, written by Alex Kershaw and My War, written by Andy Rooney. I am in awe of the sacrifices made by our soldiers in WWII. I hope you feel the gratitude we have for you for your service as well for your continued efforts helping others gain financial knowledge.
You have kept me on an even keel for many years. When I feel unsure or uneasy about financial matters, I search for your posts and and the seas calm! God Bless!
