Happy 85th and warm congratulations! Hats off for a marvellous writer... I wish he was still around, but at least we can still remember him through his great work of fiction.

As I said once in another thread,

The only thing I would change about Mr. Gardner's books would be to see more of them still coming.

Thank you, Mr. Gardner. Thank you for Boysie, Herbie, Moriarty and, of course, more Bond.

Best wishes to Simon on this day.

Happy Birthday Mister Gardner. You are missed and thought of. Your art is thought of, respected, and discussed, as well as read and used to introduce new fans to a world they did not know existed. Thank you for providing me the encouragement I needed to pursue my dream of collecting the ASP. I regret that I did not get the opportunity to meet either you or Paris Theodore in person; but thank you for making my world more colorful and intriguing.

Respectfully,

Lane Lombardia

One of the many reasons I love Gardner! We are born in the same month. Next week on the 29th is mine and my dad's (yes, we have the same b-day). My whole family is bunched up in Nov, Friday was an aunt, today is another aunt, Thursday is another 2.
