Happy Birthday Bob!

What a great podcast, wish it kept going! I’ve been reading Bob Ryan since I was 6, my dad was a big celtics guy, and I wanted to be like him, I learned all about my local teams, and always felt at home reading your columns Bob. You ever hear a song and develop a picture in your minds eye of the singer? Only to realize they look nothing like you imagined? I did something similar with Bob, I heard his voice as I read, and the only time this ever happened in my whole life, his voice matched what I imagined! Wish I could shake your hand and thank you in person Bob, you have been a part of my life for over 40 years, I feel like I know you! Happy Birthday my friend, great career, hope it goes another 75 years. ♥️
