Happy Birthday to Elwood Fauske
From Connie Fauske Monte (’62):  Fort Myers FL
 
Happy Birthday to my Dad. He is one of the most wonderful men anyone could know.  He is my hero and someone I have admired all my life for his honesty and fairness to everyone. I am so thankful that we have been able to have him in our lives all these years. He has been an example to all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He has his faults like everyone does, his biggest one, not knowing how to have fun or relax. He has worked to provide for his Mother and sisters since he was 15 years old, and then his own family. My hope is that we will have him for many more years and I will have the legacy that he has. I love you Dad.
 
Connie,
I bolded “his honesty and fairness to everyone” in your message above because It so very much describes the true character of your dad.
 
I am hoping that someone is making hard copies of all these Face Book and blog postings and mailing them to your dad.
 
Last year I told your dad that I will make a special effort to attend his Centennial birthday eight years from now. I still hold that promise.

These are several pictures from a Birthday party we attended last Saturday. The dress code was Semi-Formal, so I had to dig out my suit once again.
