I confess that (in most cases with great relief) no one who has seen Olivia has suggested that she looks like me! I'm sure we all join with friends and family in wishing Olivia all love, success, and happiness. May she always know she has our support and encouragement. As always Grandpa Andrews Hi All,

Olivia obviously inherited her FEMALE grandparent's genes...I must inform Grandpa Norm that I was valedictorian of a MUCH LARGER class in the booming metropolis of Shelby--we had 22 graduates (over twice as many!) Olivia not only inherited her grandmother's intelligence but her good looks and modesty as well! Grandma Kane Now wait a minute…

As Valedictorian of Holbrook High School class of 10 students in 1970 where I attended on an athletic scholarship I'm sure she had to get some good genes from me. As always Grandpa Andrews Jenny,

I guess next time I'll leave Red in charge. And for the record, I was salutatorian because I took chorus my senior year and the highest grade you could get was a 95%.
