I'm a demi-centenarian today.

Fifty years ago today I was born at Kerrville's Sid Peterson Memorial Hospital, the first child of Joe and Patsy Herring.  Hard to believe a half-century has passed by so quickly.
One thing's for sure: my life has been a blessed life.  My wonderful wife, our two smart children, my family, my friends and my community -- it seems my days have been a long chain of continuous good fortune.
Thanks for your part in my life.  I hope, in turn, I've contributed something to you -- and to our community.

  2. If you are only 50 years old, then you are
    still just a kid.

    When you are older than the mountains, as I am, then you are old.

    Happy Birthday!
