@newziesuzie  Thanks Suzie, I am a proud APRIL Birthday baby too.  And I'm Susan!  Been called Susie (with an 'S') by my family when I was growing up.

My Dad was an April baby on the 19th, my mom on the 26th, my Sis on the 29th.  The estranged one in the fam is November, explains why she's estranged and just down right strange, I'm not ashamed to say this of her either.

Anyway, your list reveals many great people who are APRIL babies.  I get the feeling Suzie, you are too.  Thanks for the good wishes, and MANY back at you!
