Lloyd Birdwell

From all of us who attend Eeyore's Birthday Party every year, our Children and now our Grandchildren: Thank You! Thank you for your vision of this happy time and tradition! While I listened to the stories and met you last year, I always appreciated your willingness to return to PLAY... and WONDER.
You were remembered by EVERYONE who attended this year!
You are the MAGIC now, Mr. Birdwell!

Though I never knew Lloyd personally, I had the pleasure of playing music for the Maypole dance at the first Eeyore's birthday in Eastwoods Park. Lloyd was certainly a magician, because he worked his magic on all of us here in Austin. May he rest in peace.

Adding a tradition to a tradition rich university is something cool for which to be remembered. Eeyore's Birthday Party was one of the things that helped me fall in love with The University experience outside of the classroom. Long may Lloyd be remembered.

I knew Lloyd throughout my college years at UT. Bill Mathews and I shared an apartment with Lloyd while in grad school. Lloyd was a brilliant and very witty guy and he kept us laughing. Bill and I we're fortunate to help him with the first Eeyore's. His Masters thesis, by the way, was on the author A. A. Milne, an experience he hated due to an English prof who Lloyd swears rewrote everything he wrote.

What A Lovely Gentleman. May God Bless His Soul!!!!

My husband and I been going to Eeyore's for 20 yrs, sometimes with our daughter. I just want to say Thank You Lloyd for starting a fun and peaceful event!

Lloyd was a fellow Delta Tau Delta fraternity member at UT when I pledged in 1962 - as I recall a legacy as his father was very active

Like a few of the Delts then , he brought a different, and in Lloyd's case both gentle and often comic world view to the House-- which was just a couple blocks from Pease Park: home of Eeyore's birthday

I lost touch with most UT Delts-- and the fraternity system when I spent my Junior Year in New York - returned to College House at UT-...
