Congratulations!

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where members can offer their approval and congratulations to the achievements of others, irrespective of their fields of activity.


I am going to start the thread by offering my congratuations to the clarinettist Raymond Carpenter (the last surviving member of Silvestri's famous quartet of woodwind principals) who, on Saturday, celebrated his 91st birthday.
