Dwayner Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 The Birthday Boy! "And a hearty hello to you, too, Mr. Alpine!" 66 years old today? You do the math! "Tom Stoppard was born "Tom Straussler" in Zlin, Czechoslovakia on July 3, 1937. His family moved to Singapore in 1939 to escape the Nazis. Then, shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941, young Tom fled to Darjeeling, India with his mother and brother. His father, however, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed during the invasion. In 1946, the family emigrated to England after Tom's mother married Kenneth Stoppard, a major in the British army." Quote
