you get him a nice appropriate card and call it good. No sense in beating yourself up trying to surpass what he can already do for himself. (tho whoever got him Hank Williams' employee card from the shipyard in Mobile probably gets a Christmas card every year... :D)

I had one but never knew how to get it to him. We all know his address but I'm sure he uses a post office box. Anyway it was a leather postman's satchel. For those of you who may not know where the idea came from read his books.

I'd compile a scrapbook full of heartfelt greetings from adoring fans. Oh... been there, done that. :wink:

I did find something cool and old from the area he grew up that I bet he'd think would be cool to see.

Guess I should have done that. Good for future reference.
