PearlSoup is where I "met" Victor. One of the more colorful characters on PearlSoup, Victor could make you mad, make you think, make you laugh.
Victor turns 79 today. He wrote something interesting on Facebook about his father. His dad was 60 when Victor was born. (And I thought I was a late-in-life dad.) Victor's father was born in Minsk in 1871, the year the Royal Albert Hall opened. It was also the year when H.M. Stanley allegedly uttered, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
Victor was born in 1931. In 1931, Thomas Edison submitted his last patent application, Alka Seltzer was introduced, the "Star Spangled Banner" was named the official anthem of the U.S., and France announced that they couldn't afford to send a team to the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.
Happy birthday, Dr. Bloom.

It's been ages since I've logged into PS. Of course "Lukethepuke" is still the featured author!
Interesting tidbits you shared. I'll join you in wishing Victor a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday to Victor!
Happy birthday to Victor.
And my dad had you both beat. He turned 68 five days before I was born. My mother was 39. Ha.
Thanks for the reminder. I'll email him!

Victor ("rotciv" if I remember correctly) was one my favorites at PS. He made me laugh a number of times.
