Happy Birthday, Earl Hamner, Jr.!

86 years young today! Earl is the creator of the hit TV series, "The Waltons", among others. As a huge fan of the show, it was an honor to have made Earl's aquaintance several times and consider him a friend. "The Waltons" was the inspiration for me to take up writing years ago - a pleasure I indulge in to this day. Thank you, Earl, and Happy Birthday.
