Congratulations!  May you have much joy in spoiling her.  I watched
my dad being a wonderful grandfather, made me a bit envious. <g>

>Mother and daughter doing well.

That's what the Navy said on the telegram (night letter actually,
they were too cheap to send a telegram and too, um, bureaucratized to
lift the phone for a local call) they sent my dad when I was born.  I
know it's true, I have it.  He was a bit confused as he'd already
heard from the neighbor about his new son.  Sorry, not trying to take
away from your time of glory.

Yours,
David
