WE LOVE YOU!!!!
We had an outstanding time at Bernie's 50th surprise (sort-of) birthday party. Bernie got up at 3:00 am to go to work at Kulis to plow for drill weekend. He came home unexpectedly and I told him to go take a nice nap. He said "I hope you're not planning anything because I'm dog-tired. I told him we were having a few people over but not for 2 hrs. He was so tired he slept soundly for two hrs even when people started arriving. He didn't hear a thing. That's him coming down stairs and then one by one people started to shout "Surprise"
as he was peeking around the corner. He was really so happy to see everyone who came. The decorations came out great, food and cake were delicious, but most of all the fun part was to reminisce about their memories and what everyone remembered about Bernie's happiest time, funniest thing he ever did, how he played a part in their life. It was truly touching. He was blessed and said it meant so much to him.
Here he is with his Gomer Pyle lunch box his mom had saved after all these years. He got many cards and gifts and was very grateful. Thank you for all those who came.

You are so young! 50 was ages ago for most of my friends parents! I hope you had a great Brithday. It looks like the surprise party was a success! You and Kathy are wonderful people! My sister told me after she met you both that she wants to move to Alaska just to live near the two of you! She is right it would be worth it! Happy 50th! Love, Jessica Custer
