Happy 95th birthday to my dad!
I would post photos of our celebration lunch, but my cable's gone AWOL, so I'm afraid you'll have to make do with the one I posted this time last year.
All above info found on Wikipedia *blush* here with links.
UPDATE: Missing camera cable has resurfaced in the debris on a certain person's desk.
I name no names, but watch my eyes, dear First Born ...
Anyway - here are the pix.
