Condolences and Congratulations

Some long delayed condolences and congratulations.

Our condolences to the family of Vladimir Micuda who died on September 20th. Vladimir was the father of my boss, Tom Micuda. He died in State College, Pennsylvania, after a long battle with brain cancer. Memorial contributions can be made to the American Brain Tumor Association, 2720 River Road, Des Plaines, Il, 60018.

Congratulations to Ryan Williams and Jennifer Hughes who were married on October 2nd. I had the privilege of being the best man for the ceremony that was held in Indy's historic Athenaeum building. This was the first time I've served as the best man for a wedding and fortunately my toast went off without a hitch. Laughs in all the right places. The newlyweds have just finished a honeymoon in the beautiful river town of Memphis, Tennessee. We wish Ryan and Jennifer all the best.

And finally, congratulations to the Macy/Brown family on the birth of Paul Foster Macy! Paul was born on Friday, October 7th, at 8:17 AM and weighted in at 8 lbs 10 ozs. Jon and Dair should be bringing Paul home today and I'm sure big brother Cooper is excited. Pictures will be posted shortly!
