Stickman: Ace Walden Remains Local Treasure

Stickman: DFO; Happy Birthday of course, but please don't think you are old or getting older. I had a very special visit from one that is much older than we. Mr. Don Sausser, bless his soul, brought by Mr. Ace Walden today to visit me, he just had to meet me. The honor of course was mine, as he is 100 years old. Makes me feel like a kid, and I'm 60. A real pleasure to meet someone that has been in this beautiful city of ours for 97 years. I can't even imagine. He is as sharp as a tack and I hope many of you get a chance to meet him. He is a true treasure of this area, I felt honored meeting him. Thanks Ace. He still gets out and about and is a booster for NIC, which to me is a very nice thing indeed.

DFO: So, you're saying I still have 42 more years to go. Do ya think Don Sausser would mind driving me around when I'm 100?
