May you blossom into gentlemen . . .
Stay strong . . .
And follow your own path . . .
Have a keen intellect . . .
A kind heart . . .
And a sense of humor . . .
Discover profound love . . .
Take all you can . . .
And give all you can . . .
Accept people for who they are . . .
What they are . . .
And don’t pass judgment on them . . .
Listen to great music . . .
Read quality books . . .
And write a sparkling sentence . . .
Enjoy easy conversation . . .
Learn to listen . . .
And don’t interrupt . . .
Love tasty food . . .
Fine wine . . .
And an occasional cognac and cigar . . .
Choose a good shave brush . . .
A good shave soap . . .
And a sweet straight razor to shave with . . .
Choose a Stetson over a baseball cap . . .
Remove it in the presence of a lady . . .
And at the dinner table . . .
The rest . . .
Well . . .
Figure it out for yourselves . . .
