PETER MY BUD, SIX-0, SIXTY, SIXTEEEEEEEE---REALITY ARRIVES BIG TIME---NO LONGER APPEALING TO YOUNG WOMEN (AND PROBABLY NOT OLD)---STARTING TO WRINKLE, GETTING GRAY, HAIR GROWING OUT OF YOUR EARS AND NOSE---NO, ITS NOT YOUR MEMORY THAT GOES FIRST---WELCOME TO THE OLD FARTS CLUB===YOU ARE ON TOP OF MY LIFES "MAKING MEMORIES" LIST!!! Some of my favorite memories are those shared with you or rememberances about you. They always make me SMILE! Below I have listed my favorite of those shared memories and some of those special Dilullo characterisrics that bring a smile when I think of you. I hope they will bring a smile to you on this special birthday. If not, I guess your memory is "also" going.

The two of us giggling like two little teenage girls--often at some inside joke that only we could appreciate and now long forgotten
Getting our shoes shined at airports and train stations where those giving the shine were women--me telling them you were Omar Shariff- they believed it and you loved it
Being invisable at partners meetings
Dennis Valenti
Sitting in a conference room for months on end watching you save our asses and only you, Tommy and me understanding OR appreciating
Wondering what your new haircut would look like---monthly
Wondering what your new facial hair would look like---weekly
You deciding you needed a tatoo----well Peter, you were 50 then
Your feirce Italian pride
Your long term friendship with Bob, Ricki, and Gary
Your love of family
Zurich,Stutgart and Paris
Eating lunch in the PORSCHE executive dining room and acting like big shots
Listening to Gregorian chants at twilight in a wonderful little chaplel on Rue St Honre - Paris
Me giving the finger to the Paris Parliment Guards and you scared we were going to jail
Bumping into each other as we walk down the street because we're both blind in one eye and can't see out of the other
Walking around the hospital corridor with you and your ass hanging out of your gown--and giggling about it
Skinny legs
Traveling in the back of the plane
A bunch of wonderful Itallian resturants

AND MY FAVORITE OF ALL---THAT GREAT SMILE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND, REMEMBER, WE HAVE TIME TO MAKE SOME MORE MEMORIES!!!!
