Bryan—

It’s been such a pleasure to grow and learn along side of you all these years. I still reminisce about the amazing times we had with the CWP and chase the highs that our Little Labs for Big Imaginations Team would give me each summer we’d collaborate with one another. Thank you for sparking my fire and continuing to inspire me on a daily basis. I’ve learned all the Vietnamese dishes while fending for myself out here on the West Coast to come home and cook for you! Sending you so much love, prosperity, and happiness for your birthday xx

Love you forever and ways,
Your Vietnamese Warrior
Mindy Khamvongsa 💕

My dearest Bryan,

My favorite Bryan-Brain, frog ribbit-ribbit, forever-fifteen, fellow emptier-of-the-ocean-with-a-spoon, lover of life and words:

We have been blessed with the fabulous creative explosion of life you have brought into this world that last half-century. So much more to write and so much more love to share, but it shall always come back to this —

May you continue to light the world on fire, like a cup of Burger King coffee spilt upon your nethers.

All my love,
Rhiannon, Your favorite Rhino-Berry Dolphin

Dear Bryan,
From the moment I met you, I knew my life would be changed forever in the best possible way! You are an amazing person & the big 5 0 has nothing on you! You have been an incredible teacher, mentor, and friend to me. There’s no one else I would be willing to hold their air balloons for 🎈 here’s to you & all that you do to make our lives and the world a much better, frog-tastic 🐸place! Can’t wait to celebrate!
xx-Stefania 🎊🤗🥳💛

Bryan! So, when you told me your story of being called Frog, I immediately thought about one of my favorite places in the whole world: The Frog Shrine in Santa Barbara, CA (picture above). As a tribute to YOU turning 50, I will be adding a FROG to this shrine in your honor next trip to CA.  I'll send you a pic. Happy 50th! Happy happy birthday and new year around the sun! xoxo, Jessie Early
