From Bob Stebbins -WSCT Board:
The week after Labor Day was a busy time for another type of labor. On Tuesday, Sept. 9th, we welcomed a great granddaughter weighing 7lb 10oz born at Forsyth, then on Thursday, Sept. 11th, we welcomed a grandson who was premature and weighed only 1lb 9oz. in Charlotte. The girl is doing fine and growing fast. The boy has his ups and downs but is making progress and we feel he will be okay. Our house is getting fuller each holiday.
