[SEL] Off Topic adoption

[William J Pfeiffer Sr]

CONGRATULATIONS!!
So glad to hear this is finally coming through for you, as you know Bill's 
Bday is the 23rd so this will be a nice "present" for him too since he was 
adopted from St. Vincent's orphanage here in Chicago 59 years ago!

Again CONGRATULATIONS on becoming parents.

XOXOXO
Peg Pfeiffer
