Happy birthday to our very own Billy Martin! If you see him at Martin’s Tavern tonight, make sure to wish him a great year ahead. 🎂

Today, we also commemorate Ambassador Marion “Joe” Smoak, who witnessed the JFK and Jackie’s proposal in 1953. Until 2020, Billy spent birthdays at Martin’s Tavern alongside the Ambassador, recounting stories from days at the Tavern. “In hindsight it was great fun to witness a part of history,” said the Ambassador.

Coincidentally, it’s also Melanie Lynn’s birthday, Billy’s older sister. What a day for the Tavern and the family 🎉

It’s a day to celebrate and to remember. Happy birthday Billy, Joe, and Melanie!
