For the 52nd year, the Birthday Boys are celebrating their August birthdays together. When I first began penning this column for the Tribune in the early 1990s and later the Press, I would occasionally wish friends a happy birthday, especially if it was a milestone. Through the years, readers began sending me birthdays to include and for the past couple of decades the Main Street Birthday Club has grown to over 2,000 annually.
Early on, I learned that my friend, Art Flagan, and a couple of his good friends shared August birthdates close together. In 1974, these fellows were in their 30s when they first began marking the occasion together over a half century ago.
