Happy Birthday, Mr. Burns!

"Excellent!"

No, not that Mr. Burns!

If John Raymond Burns were alive today, he'd be 105 years old. He's my grandpa!

Here's a picture of him in his Cavalry uniform, circa 1932:

Yep, that's mom's dad. He's the one who was 6'3", married to a woman barely 5 feet tall. I think that's where I get what little height I have!

And the jodhpurs are just too cool.
