Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on June 26, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Craig! Another headline-worthy milestone begs the question: How many journalists does it take to blow out birthday candles? Just one Pulitzer Prize winner—provided he's finished exposing injustice first.

Decades ago, you illuminated hidden truths for The Dallas Morning News, uncovering systemic racial discrimination in public housing and earning journalism's highest honor. Your bold reporting didn't merely make headlines—it made history. Now that's worth celebrating!

May your special day be filled with laughter and cake; after all these years chasing tough stories, you've earned a slow-news-cycle kind of birthday. Here's to you continuing to inspire us all!
