Congratulations George and Miz Anne. Grandchildren are better than
children, I hear, 'cause when they mess their drawers you can hand them to
the parents for cleaning up. When they cry you can leave. You know that,
having "raised" three already. A baby coming along later is a renewal of
interest, though. Best, Margaret
