THE Boat Race


C attended his first of many Oxford-Cambridge Boat races on a beautiful sunny Sunday. We stood on our tip toes to see over the throngs of people along the Thames at Hammersmith, but he didn't get much of a view. Bells cheered wildly for her alma-mater Cambridge, but alas they were beaten once again this year. (C has implied- in a quiet moment- that he may actually follow in his fathers footsteps and row at his almost landlocked, US Midwestern Alma-mater. That, or Harvard. It depends on the quality of the girls crew.)

Lots of love,

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
