Default Proud moment. Thought I would Share.

Just thought I would share a proud moment with my C1/C2 buddies here. My daughter Katie just gave birth to our 4th grandchild this morning. Natalie Rose, 6 pounds 13 ounces. Her second child. Now she has a boy and a girl. One of those great moments in life.
Of course I took a celebratory ride in my 65 after returning from the hospital
My wife is holding the baby.

I don't know at this point how many will share my interest in cars. At the very least the oldest my first grand daughter will take the reins when the time comes. My hope is they will all enjoy and appreciate the cars.

Paul,

Congratulations, now you can leave a car to each grandchild, and have one or two spares. Grandchildren are wonderful you can spoil them and send them home.
Hope to see you this summer, I'll bring cigars and bourbon.

Sometimes it's not about Corvettes but rather Corvette people.
Congratulations on another grandchild and having a great family to share life with.

Guys, thanks for all the kind words. I appreciate it. This is a very good group of guys we have here. The cars are our passion, but it really is about the people in this hobby we share.

Natalie got her first bath and new outfit. They will be coming home today.

That is a special time and special event, and these old cars pale in comparison. Congrats Grandpa.
