SANDERS BIRTHDAYS We have had inquiries as to the reason for the birthday col umn being omitted from the last few issues of The Sun Our birthday list has been on hand for many years and although we have requested the assistance of readers in keeping it up to date, we haven't had much luck We just don't personally know every person listed.
