Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on October 06, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Bill! Another year wiser and still the undisputed champion of peer support networks. Your tireless advocacy has inspired countless individuals to find strength in community—proving once again that laughter truly is therapeutic (and cheaper than therapy!).

From coordinating groundbreaking self-help initiatives across California to empowering communities with your unwavering optimism, you've shown us all how compassion can change lives. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought others—and perhaps a cake big enough for everyone whose life you've touched!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun; keep spreading smiles and hope!
