Campus baby firsts

Last month we noted the birth of a baby girl -- Allegra Epp -- at the Brubacher House Museum. At the time we thought she was the first baby ever to have been born on campus. Well, we were a little premature, so to speak.

Turns out another baby beat Allegra to the punch -- Stephen James Goodfellow-Bell -- son of mom Gayle Goodfellow, Coordinator of Science Liaison, and dad Keith Bell. The happy event took place in the presence of midwives Elsie and Evelyn Kressman at 3:45 p.m. in Tutor House #5. Congratulations to both Allegra and Stephen for picking such a fine campus to come in to this world.

Birthday wishes

Happy birthday to Sandi Albrecht, secretary in the Office of the Vice-President, University Relations.
