Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on September 19, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Bruce Evans! May your day be filled with more adventure than a group of kids trekking down railroad tracks in search of excitement. Your timeless storytelling has given us unforgettable moments—reminding everyone that friendship and courage never go out of style.

From penning the iconic "Stand by Me," you've shown generations how powerful stories can shape our lives (and make pie-eating contests forever hilarious). Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as Vern finding his pennies or Gordie discovering confidence through writing. Cheers to another year full of creativity, laughter, and maybe fewer leeches!
