Happy 98th Taylor!

My grandma lived to 107.5. My challenge is for you to still be posting on Bogleheads at 107.6. :D

On many levels, Mr. Larimore deserves thanks. For what he and other young men went through in WW2, read The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 by Rick Atkinson. It will make many people weep at the courage Mr. Larimore and the other young men had.

Taylor's posts were the first which hooked me as I was beginning my personal finance adventures in learning, saving, and experiencing market moves. This was when Bogleheads were largely on Morningstar forums but shifting to this standalone format. Happy to have met Taylor, however briefly, in person at more than one Bogleheads Conference over the years.
Happy Birthday, Sir, and thank you for 1) your willingness to serve our country in the European Theater in the 1940s, and 2) going on to serve our nation and our globe via your broadcasted example of a steady well-informed & confident hand on the tiller of the transoceanic voyage which is any one person's lifetime of investing.
