Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on October 04, 1936)

Happy Birthday, John Albert Knebel! From Oklahoma roots to the halls of Washington D.C., you've certainly harvested quite a career. Who else could navigate from advising small businesses to steering America's agriculture policy without missing a beat? Your time as Secretary of Agriculture in 1976-77 was truly legendary—proving once and for all that attorneys can indeed cultivate more than just paperwork.

Today we celebrate your timeless wit, wisdom, and ability to make bureaucracy bloom with humor. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and absolutely no red tape. Here's wishing you another year richer in success (and jokes)!
