He would have been 84 years old in real time when he celebrated his 21st birthday. I have met a good number of Leap Year Babies and have emailed and snail mailed a number of others, and find have found a varied train of thought as to celebrating the birthday on the off years, I don't consider myself as having a birthday on the off years so I don't celebrate. The day I turned 21 I was in the Army stationed at Fort Gordon, GA at the time one had to be 21 to enter a drinking establishment. A friend of mine was born February 28, 1932 it seemed that we were both 21 so we tried to enter a dance hall/bar and I was refused because they claimed I would not be 21 until the next day. The bar stayed open until 2am so after midnight we went back to the bar and the doorman ushered us in, after we sat at a table and was served the band leader announced that a leap year man was in the house and ask that I stand, after that we received free drinks. Almost anyone who learns that I was born on leap year asks that question "when do you celebrate on the off years." Other than that Ron, I don't see where the fact that I was born on leap year has stunned my growth any. Ha. Jim Vick Verona, Italy --------------D851991D92AD451C54DEBFFE--
