Did You Know?

On September 3, 1996 Uncle Bill called.  I wrote in my journal, "After a few minutes into the conversation Bill mentioned that Cathy was sick.  I asked what was the matter and he said she had the Egyptian flu.  Of course I asked what that was and he explained that it meant she was going to be a "mummy"!  My son the comedian.  The baby is due to arrive on April 11, 1997."

Rachel arrived on April 16, 1997 and that's a story for another time!
