Happy Birthday Jason Fleigel

I have known Jason Fleigel for almost 20 years now.  He started as a part-time telemarketer for me at Lerner Newspapers.  While he wasn't a very good (or motivated) telemarketer, he turned out to be a great friend.  Part brother, part friend, part cohort, Jason has been an important part of my life.

Last year, he married Heather and I have never seen him happier or more at peace.  It is almost unsettling, but he does deserve all the happiness he can get.  He is a great guy and they are an excellent couple.

One of my proudest days was when I was one of Jason's groomsmen.  I know he has several good friends and to be selected to be there with him on his most special day meant a lot to me.

Today I wish a great birthday to my bud Jason.  I am sure he will be celebrating with his beloved bride, ensconced in their happiness.  That is the best birthday I could imagine for him (unless the Hawks popped in for a visit).

Happy birthday Jason!  To quote the immortal Ric Flair, "Woooooooooooooooooooooo!"
