Jackie Young '99
June 2008
Jackie "Delivered a healthy baby girl, Jordan Arran Young, on May 16th at 10:45am. Classically, I was in denial right up until we had to go to the hospital - I worked until 9:30pm on May 15th, and was teaching through the early contractions. Turns out that regardless of denial, there really was a 7-1/2 lb baby in there after all. Hard to believe that the powers that be are letting me raise a child, isn't it? I live in perpetual fear that someone will discover that I am only masquerading as an adult, and they'll make me give back all my grown-up stuff. Thankfully, Peter is a mature and reasonable individual, so that's a point in my favor. Anyway, I'm sending along a picture of Jordan, whom Peter & I think is pretty cute. If anyone is around in the general southern Maine vicinity, I'd love to have a little adult interaction - speaking in actual words would be nice. Drop me a line! Cheers, Jackie."
