Well, it finally happened. At 1:55 pm Pacific time Dec. 5, 2006 I became a grandfather for the first time (and according to my daughter, the only time). At 52 I feel way too young to be a gramps but, considering my daughter is 29, it could have easily happened 10 or more years ago. Being 1500 miles away, I have to wait till Christmas to meet him in person.

Here is the young Jedi master Lucas Peter Franklin.

Congratulations Bob! 8) (great looking kid!)
I think it is great that you are a Gramps at 52, as you'll be able to do many more things that if you were much older... wink

ENJOY IT!

Bob,
Congrats. I'm 53 and have two grandsons (4 and 1)and another grandchild due next July.

It's great because when they start screaming you can hand them back to their parents smile

It is truly a blessing.

Regards,
Harry
