Happy Birthday Jack Wattley

[yogi]

I know Jack Wattley doesn't belong to this forum, but I thought some of you would like to wish him a Happy Birthday. Jack turned 90 years old
on October 9th.

Happy birthday Jack. Even though you'll never see this thread :). Thank you for your contribution to the Discus community.

Happy Birthday to the man whose name is synonymous with discus keeping.

Happy Birthday to the true pioneer.

Happy Birthday Jack!
When I got interested in discus, his was the 1st name I came across.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK! The first PB I ever saw was his Panda. In pics I thought it was so ugly... then I saw it in person and my jaw dropped even though I'm usually a wild discus/near-natural type discus lover.

Hey, is it me or do all these discus (& discus hobby) pioneers seem to live soooo long????? You think they found the fountain of youth down there in South America? Wattley, Axelrod, Schmidt-Focke, Schultz, Schwartz, etc...

One of the old time greats. While I don't really know him I have had the pleasure to eat dinner with him on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed the experience. The man is a wealth of knowledge on all topics and not just discus. Here is wishing him good health for several more years.

I was fortunate to have met him at a couple of Discus Study Group events (NYC and Baltimore). He is a very nice man and an interesting speaker. Besides discus, he has it bad for the Amazonian Poison Arrow Frogs!

Happy Birthday Jack and many more!

I saw this site, it looks so old, I almost don't trust it.
Has anyone from SD ordered recently?

I got some turqs and pigeons from him last year. Nice fish.
