A few weeks back I blogged about Fred, a WW2 vet, who was hoping to receive 100 cards to mark his 100th birthday on March 6th. You can read the previous blog post here.

Well, with the daily news filled with so many awful things, it was a joy to learn that the world responded; Fred received over 90,000 birthday cards! You can read the CBC follow-up story here.

Happy Birthday Fred!
