Happy birthday to Stuart & Ott !!!

Happy birthday today to Stuart Warner, one-time hat-happy columnist for the BJ who must be wearing cowboy hats now since he works for the Arizona Republic, along with his wife, Debbie VanTassel, another who left the BJ for the PD and then for the West.

Stuart donned a hat in his video to show you how to make a mint julep. As a Kentucky boy, Stuart figures he has to be the expert. Just check out his Facebook page. Slurp!

And on Monday, May, wish retired BJ photographer a happy birthday. You know Ott: The man who’s taken a million pictures, at least.
