Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on October 05, 1943)

Happy birthday to the incomparable Robert P. Arthur—master of poem-plays, teller of tales, and Chesapeake bard extraordinaire! Your classic 'Hymn to the Chesapeake' continues sailing strong as a timeless tribute; each stanza fresh enough for countless encores. Truly, your verses bring waves—and laughter—to our shores.

From hunting Appalachian moons beneath starry stages, to boldly imagining Crazy Horse galloping freely through heaven's plains in your novel—your stories light up imaginations far and wide. On this special day, may your pen keep dancing, ink stay flowing – and critics forever puzzled! Here's wishing you another marvelous chapter ahead. Happy Birthday!
