O.K. Let me admit - right up front - that this should be more acurately titled "About Lyman & his brilliant granddaughters with the dazzling personalities and boundless talent". Karis and Madilyn join me in welcoming Elizabeth Millie into the world. Aren't they beautiful! A Grandpa has to brag a little, right? As a matter of fact, I think we passed a bill back in the '80s requiring it in state statute.

Anyway, as you can see, family is very important to me. Lillian and I have been blessed with many things and one of our greatest blessings was the chance to raise our children, Trina and Douglas, in Southwest Alaska. And now, we're getting to see Trina and our son-in-law Hugh Short raise our 3 granddaughters . And we're happy to have Douglas back in Bethel, working for the City.

I wonder if
she will remember
this photo 30 years from now when she's giving her first address to a joint session
of Congress?
