Happy Birthday to John Moore! Our first-born turns 20 today-and the realization that Peggy & I have a TWENTY YEAR OLD child sends a shiver up my spine! Damn, we must be getting old!
It seems like ONLY YESTERDAY that John, weighing in at 10lbs, 9 oz. (very large) was naturally delivered (very painful) at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor! Of course, in other ways it seems like an entire lifetime ago…what a paradox.
John’s birth made me a Dad and Peggy a wonderful Mom. To say this was a milestone would be an understatement. What an incredibly moving experience to be there-and to witness my wife giving birth.
We have had the immense good fortune of having that scene play out two more times-and our lives without any of our three precious children is unthinkable.
John is a wonderful person, an incredibly smart and talented guy who has been a consistent presence on the Dean’s List at RPI in Engineering-in a double major—and still has the time to compete in track for Rensselaer. Below is a short video of John throwing at a recent meet at Cornell:

John, we LOVE YOU-and wish you a happy, happy 20th birthday!
