THE BIG 60!!!

The reigning patriarch of the Risser Clan is turning the big 60! How can that be? It was just yesterday that Toni & I (Becky) were pestering Keithie to play house with us and be the daddy. Digging the underground 'cave' at the side of the house. Burning plastic army men and model airplanes (and a barbie doll or two). Hide and Seek in the dark at home (usually when mom and dad were gone). Alligator lizards. Capture the Flag. Skate boarding with homemade sails to pull us down the street. Camping. Saving me from falling in the river. Scarying my cat with his bugle - while I was carrying him (the cat that is). Racing horses at King's Ranch. You were the best big brother a kid could ever ask for. The fact that you always brought your friends (who were sooooo cute) to the house to lift weights for us girls (maybe just me) to ooh and aah over. Ah yes! (Of course they were always interested in Toni - grrr). But I digress... (Youngster - you shall pass this way all too soon.) Gordon - thanks for the memories too many to mention in a blog. I know I speak for my all siblings when I say how much we love you and are so proud to call you Big Bro. Happy Birthday Big Guy!
