Happy Birthday, as well. Met you only once (top of El Cap), you were very polite to a less-experienced climber. Have enjoyed your informed, non-flaming posts. Many happy returns.

So Werner, have you found the 'fountain of youth'?

How about sending me a jug; I could do with some of that 29 again. Come to think of it, I could do with some 39 again. I'll stop there.

Happy B-Day and best personal regards, Roger

Happy Birthday Werner. Haven't seen you in years, but one day back in 83 you gave me the shirt off of your back. I forget why, but it was just one of the cool things I remember from back then.

Way to hang in there.

Werner, age. It's a curious thing. I'm sure you
noticed the last couple decades, and they were rich,
I mean, all the way back to those days we played
chess in the Lodge. I will never forget that wry smile,
and how our friend Bachar would sometimes show up
at a window with those red blinking sunglasses and
his stone cold stare... I think you and I climbed,
but I don't remember just what. We were friends anyway...

According to Werner he is part of the grand server of life which will live forever, so let me join in with some Swedish words:

"Ja, må han leva. Ja, må han leva. Ja, må han leva...".

Forget about the 100 years.

And doesn't he look more and more like the Cumaean Sibyl?
