I can remember some of those too. BTW, for anyone that does not know, the bat was NOT made of wood or aluminum!
That's a reasonably eventful 30 years.:-) Here's to the next 30!
I hope your next 30 years will be filled with lots of love and happiness surrounded by people you love!
I remember those first 30 years! Wishing you a very happy birthday!
Love, Mom
