Happy Birthday, dear Horst.
May your big day on February 17th be a wonderful celebration with your family and friends.
We thank you for your many contributions over the years to the UN, UNICEF and XUNICEF, and especially to News & Views.
We could be with you, Isabel and all the family in beautiful St. Croix to help you celebrate the day.

A Birthday Ditty from Fouad and Nadia
He is our "Der Alte" in the island of St. Croix *
And I really do not mean to be coy,
But his 90th.dob must be full of joy.
Since we cannot buy him a toy,
(He is definitely a grownup boy)
And there is no need for us to annoy
Him, we hope this DITTY he can enjoy.
(* Pronounced Saint Croy)
Dear Horst here is a toast
Of which we can all boast
Your friends from coast to coast
Real ones, none is a ghost.
For 2 XUNICEF reunions you were host,
It must be a record as the most,
Whose memories cannot be lost
As in our Blog we have a post.
Your spouse will cook a juicy roast,
While you listen to Wagner's Faust
PROSIT good friend, with many more to toast.

Dear Horst
ReplyDeletemany happy returns of the day!! I am sure the birthday celebrations are going to be extraordinary, memorable!
I remember the time we first began communicating. It was while we were working on your article “Life after Unicef.” Since then we have become email-pals. I am remembering our many charming email exchanges…If you’re too quiet on the blog, I feel the need to check on you. And there you are- prompt with your response, always.
I am so glad I met you via email, dear Horst! Let’s keep writing on the blog, off the blog. One day, I will definitely visit your enchanting island as promised.
Happy Birthday!!!
Dear Horst... Greetings and good wishes for your year ahead of you from Germany!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful greetings and good wishes. I am deeply touched..
ReplyDeleteI finally got to read the blog and discovered the nice birthday announcement and good wishes. Thank you very very much.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate it and the greetings I got because of that.
It sure is an amazing birthday and my children went all out to celebrate and created a “family fun cruise” with me as the captain. It’s lots of fun and I look forward to the next days. On Wednesday we celebrate our oldest son’s 61st birthday.
Again, many thanks for celebrating with us.
Kind regards,
Horst.
