Exciting
news from the McCarty's down south! Mr. & Mrs. Larry
(Gina) McCarty recently became grandparents to a wonderful
little grandson,
Knox Ashton
Lambert was born on October
5th, weighing in at 8lbs.4ozs, and measuring 21" long.
His parents, Terry and Anna Lambert are proud and happy to be
first-time parents.
Everyone is doing well while learning
what it means to be sleep deprived. No worries, Anna and
Terry; you'll get to sleep in about 18-20 years.

McCarty will entertain at the Dec. 6 potluck for

sing and strum for his fellow SPs. They include
"Lookin' Good in My Gown" (sung to the
tune "Lookin' Out My Back Door"),
"Leroy Brown, the Baddest SP in Town,"
"Poor, Poor Pitiful Me," and
"Simulate" (sung to "Kokomo").
