    Hi Alie, Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this one. I started with the more recent ones because it takes forever to go back pages each time. But I do appreciate the kind comments for John?s poem and we all know John is one of the nicest guys ever, so I just knew he?d understand. So thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

I love all the baseball references you worked into your poem, especially those at the end. It's nice you called John a teammate and friend. You gave us lots of good information about him in this birthday tribute. Most every year growing up, we attended the Mummers Parade on New Year's Day in Philadelphia. Thanks for remembering John, and for informing us. Blessings. Carol

    No worries, Debi. I'm always behind in reviewing and replying. I'm still working for our church, so I can't spend all day on FS. I hope you're feeling better this week.

Happy Birthday, John!! I hope you like the Rangers...
Debi, you've hit another home-run with your birthday poem. We learn more about John, finding out he and his sons love to cook, which is a good thing. That's an invaluable skill in life that shares with others.

Love and hugs,
Rhonda

    Hi Debi! I?m super behind right now, too. Like you, I start with recents and work my way back. So far I?m still in recents, lol!

    I sent you a couple emails with the horses right away, but also sent you a smashup and if you have a chance before bed, you will get a kick out of that.

Another well-done poem that accurately portrays the main character. Flows well; Excellent character development. By the time I reached the bottom, I felt as if I knew John personally! Good work. ann

Hi Debi,
You picked one of my strong supporters this time. John is always there with a wonderful review. I appreciate him so much.
Another difficult biographical poem, well done! I already knew that John plays football with his neighbors, but I didn't know he was a Jets fan. I like the Giants, myself. But we're both sports fans.
I also didn't know he plays the banjo. He's a lot like me... sports, playing an instrument, married over 40 years.
Nicely penned, Deb! Thanks for introducing John to more members on Fanstory. You can't have enough fans.
Hugs,
Kimbob

    Hey Kimbob, I keep meaning to get over to see you and review a fun one that I heard you did and I have been so busy that look how far behind I am responding. However, I am coming but I truly need to finish my thank you?s first.

    Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this one. I started with the more recent ones because it takes forever to go back pages each time. But I do appreciate the kind comments for John?s poem and we all know John is one of the nicest guys ever, just as you are, so was hoping you?d both understand. So thanks again, my dear friend. And I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. And Lotsa Love too, Debi

    Hi Debi,
    I fully understand! Right now, I have 19 reviews to answer. But it's Christmastime, with shopping and delivering, worship team practice for 2 services on Sunday... 10 songs! Busy! Busy! Busy! So, don't worry about me. I'm the least of all your cares.
    Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year!
    Hugs,
    Kimbob

Debi,
While we may read an author's work, we do not often get to know the real person behind the pen.
Here you truly highlight John's love for family, sports and life.
Once a member of the Mummer's! What a surprise.
Mary

    Wow, Mary, you knew what a Mummers was? I had never of it before I wrote John?s poem. Thats pretty cool. So did you have someone march in one? I?m impressed. Thanks for all the kind words for John and his poem.
    Love, Debi

very enjoyable poem! Your birthday poems are so well-written. I like how you mention some descriptions for each person. When they play sports, it adds interest to the reader. But it depends if you like sports or not, I guess!
