Wishing his friend Leslie Williams Schwerdt, whom he’s known since they were in first grade together 65 years ago, a Happy 71st Birthday at the Damburger in Redding, California.
There’s one thing that hasn’t changed since Leslie Williams Schwerdt and The Idiot began celebrating their birthdays together in 1954. She’s still almost six months older than he is.
