does anyone keep in touch with Jeff?? last i heard was when Charlene ran into him in GA somewhere.........?
?
Mental clutter.
Yes, Spring does have flexible starting dates, but I guess the key to remembering Jeff's birthday is that the "traditional" starting date for Spring is March 21st and that is when his birthday is.

Chuck:
How in the world do you remember Jeff Eckard's birthday?
Do you have some kind of diary or what?
I am lucky to even remember my own birthday. I choose not to
remember them I guess. If you don't remember, then how can you
get older (and wiser)?
Doesn't Spring have flexible dates like something between March
20 to 22? This year it is on March 20 but Jeff's birthday is
on March 21. So how do you remember March 21?
Later,
John
