HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIOT


Eliot and Julie Ann in 1981...one of my very favorite pictures, this picture has been hanging in every dorm room, apartment, or dwelling I have lived in since I had it framed.


Eliot has always been such a great brother to me. I have so many memories I don't even know where to begin. One of my favorites is when I was trying out for a play my first year of high school and Eliot was in the audience. I was so nervous and when I was finished singing, Eliot stood up and yelled, "that's my sister" and even as i write this i am getting a little weepy. Eliot is a great gift giver. He always puts so much thought and love into the presents he gives. Three different times when i have been hospitalized, Eliot has made sure that somehow my favorite treat of the moment got to me. I love you Eliot and I am so glad you were born.

Julie,

I have always felt priviledged to be your brother. That is why I was always announcing to the world that you were my sister.

You are a someone that has great gifts and I enjoy every opportunity we have to talk or be together.

Thank you for your gift. That picture will follow me now too wherever I go. I enjoyed all the pictures and card very much. I love you Julie.
