Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on August 31, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Gary! Celebrating the fearless journalist whose groundbreaking "Dark Alliance" series shook things up and sparked conversations that still echo today. Your courage to chase truth—even when it stirred controversy—remains legendary.

Though your investigative journey wasn't always smooth sailing, your dedication inspired countless others to question narratives and seek transparency. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much excitement (minus the controversy!) as your bold reporting did back in '98. Keep shining a light on hidden truths, Gary—just maybe steer clear of any more career-ending scoops for now!
