Dear Willard, all the best! However, VIAF and Wikidata indicate your
birthday is december 7, 1945 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19664641)
-- is this maybe your namesake's date of birth? Kind regards, Miran
Hladnik

Dear Willard,

I wanted to join the chorus and wish you a happy birthday!

I also wanted to thank you for continuing to edit Humanist. From my vantage
point in software engineering, it remains a vital source - somedays even a
lifeline - as both it and your work have been since I first encountered them
some 20 years ago.

I hope that you are keeping well. Best wishes,
Tamara
