DeDanan Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 We have a saying in Ireland, “To be born a gentleman is an accident, to die a gentleman is an achievement!” His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej became King at the age of 18, he is now 72… His subjects love him! He is a positive influence on his country. My money is on “he will die a gentleman” Have a Happy… DeDanan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
