Some men count their years.

But true captains count their voyages.

Today we celebrate not only a birthday,

but a life filled with stories,

with changes of course,

and with quiet victories.

69 years of wisdom.

69 years of humor.

69 years of someone who always sails his own direction.

And even today,

with coffee on the table and cake beside it,

one thing remains clear:

A true captain

never loses his compass.

Happy Birthday, Gert.

May many beautiful journeys still lie ahead.
