Hello Wendy and Stuart,
It's true that I went the big 6 - 0less than 2 weeks before you. Does that make me a leader? A trendsetter? No matter, you're invited to join my club.
I would just as soon have jumped over this hurtle alone, without notice, and a little birdie told me that maybe Wendy would have done this too. But now that you're out and celebrating and online, let me be among the selected few to wish you the very best this year and every year beyond.
Much love from the East Coast

As we all know, you can’t select those people who marry into your family. But with you, Wendy, we garnered a real gem.
From day one, you were always a caring family member, both to Lilly and Lou, and to Dale, Vic, Neil and Laurie. My aunt and uncle loved visiting you in California and “kvelled” at the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs of their grandchildren. Steve and I know that one of the reasons you did this was for their sake.
Steve and I could not have picked a better mate for Harley. Thank you for being who you are.
Happy 60th!!!
Diane and Steve Smith
Wendy, I just can't believe you are almost 60. You are so youthful. I just know it's all that chocolate you ate for the first 55 years. I feel so blessed to have you as a friend and loved the years we worked together at Children Now. Those were truly great days. I want you to know how much of the work I do in Oregon has been influenced by your mentoring. I learned so much from you and respect your commitment and hard work to making things better for children. It looks like the issue to which you've devoted decades -- making sure all kids have health coverage -- will happen soon with Obama as President and wouldn't it be something if it happens in your birthday month. It would be fitting.
I hope your birthday is absolutely magical and I hope you throw all practicality aside (from one Capricorn to another) and stop working so hard and treat yourself to as extended a celebration as possible and please make sure to have lots of champagne and chocolate.
Thanks for all you've taught me Wendy about work and motherhood. I treasure our friendship.
Lots of love and birthday wishes,
Swati
