The New York Daily News published the
celebration story on March 1, so I missed the gala event at the
Plaza HoteLl, of course I was very disappionted. I am 43 now I
will 44 my next Leap Birthday I never met anyone born February
29. I would like meet someone who was born February 29 and we
can be kids again. When I think of the things I did when I was a
kid, maybe I could get away with the things if I did them again.
I need a kid my age to play with! |

| Finally hit 21 in the
year 2000. Now legal to drive, drink and stay out all night. As
per English tradition, presented the key to the house. |

267. L.H. "Gus" Gustafson 1916
While delivering newspapers on my route in Jamestown N.Y. back in 1929, I by
chance met one of my customers who was born on Feb. 29, 1896. She told me
that she was eight years old before she celebrated her first birthday.
(Raenell's Note: 1900 was not a Leap Year, so her First Birthday was in 1904!) |

I believed I was born on March 1 until I was 13 years old. Can you guess how
I know I am a Leap Day Baby? |

I'm so glad I finally found all of you!! I've always wanted to meet/know
another "Leaper" and here there're hundreds of you. It's funny that living in
a city with nearly 4 million inhabitants and having traveled all over the
world I've never bumped into another "Leaper". One more thing; I consider all
of you not as "fellow-sufferers" but as "fellow-lucky-ones." SPECIAL: that's
what we are!!! |

| When I started school (five years old), in the beginning of the course, all
kids in class underlined their date of birth in a big calendar. I didn't find
the 29th of February and some of my classmates laughed at me. I was very sad.
But now, I am very proud to be a Leap Day Baby, and they are jealous. It's
such a very special day, of course. The other days are such very normal days!

| Hello to all Leap Day Babies all over the world. I am waiting for your
letters, especially if you are born in 1968 (but not necessarily).

2412. Julian Wolter Schoenmakers2000
| Julian is very special, the moment he was born all the planets, sun and moon
were visible in the sky. By coincidence his parents named him Julian, like
the inventor of the Julian date. Moreover Julian means something like
'forever young'; this is very appropriate because as a Leap Day Baby his age
will be forever young. |

| When I met my girlfriend, I knew she was a leap year baby
before she said a word. I could see it in her eyes. Cue X
Files music!!!!!!!!!. |

#43 Eleanor Jones Luebbert 1956
| A local car dealership offered leap year children $29 to come
in for a test drive on Feb. 29! I went, mostly to see if
anyone else had shown up, but none had. There's got to be
some around here! |

#70 Jolene 1980
| Two sets of balloons came in to my first period 3 years ago
and it turns out that a guy 2 seats behind me is a leap day
baby Born at 1:05 pst! We're good friends now! |

| In 1994 I went to language school in London. I lived with a
guest family together with a Japanese girl, from the same
school, that seemed to speak no English. On the first evening
Yumi (the Japanese girl), my guest-mum and I, were talking in
the living-room. I told my 'mum' that my birthday is on the
29th of February and Yumi said "Me too"!!! We
thought that she didn't understand what we were talking about,
but she took out her passport and showed her birthday:
29.2.1976. So I lived 3 weeks together in one room with
another Leap Day Baby! |

| I have heard rumors that there are other leap day persons out
there --but in the absence of empirical evidence I will
reserve my judgment. |

one! HELLO brothers and sisters! |

| While I was waiting to take a flight at the Pittsburgh
airport, I was passing the time playing video games. A guy
playing the game I was waiting to use had to input his
birthday as part of the game. His birthday is February
29th, 1972. It really is a small world.

| I have met quite a few leap year babies over the years. The
first fellow leap year baby I met was my new found friend in
4th grade. We were exchanging birthdates over a game of
2-square on the school playground. We were quite surprised to
have the same birthdays. |

| When I was in the Navy in 1960 we were heading west on a westpac
cruise (Japan). It was Feb. 28th and I was
looking forward to my upcoming birthday. Well we crossed the
international date line that night and the next morning was
March 1st and I missed my birthday I had been waiting for four
years to celabrate. What a bummer that
was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

#184 Tina Taylor 1968
| I've met one other person with a birthday the same as
mine...it was just about a month ago at a bar! We were both
complaining about turning 30...he asked when..and I said
..."you won't believe me..." he said......."let
me see your license..." so...we do the ID exchange....we
both kept looking at them, then looking at each other
laughing! It was so weird! Thats about my only fun story
right now!

Leap On!
#188 Waylon William Ross 1980
| The most annoying thing about being a leap year baby is the
question that is always asked..."So when do you celebrate
it?" My response - "As often as I can!!" :-)

Such a Responsibility
#228 Mark Ziedenberg 1968
| Have never met another leap day baby face to face, but would
like to talk to some about how they deal with the
responsibility of being a leap day person.

Stupid Bureaucracy!

| When I got my driver's license the agent insisted that my
birthday could not be Feb 29. She wouldn't put that on my
license until another agent explained leap year to her. |

Smart Bureaucracy!
#143 Cheri K. (Welfelt) Smith 1948
| My dad always claimed that all insurance policies were changed
to read "21 years of age" rather than "21st
birthday" after the insurance agent was told I would be
84 years old on my 21 st birthday! |
