Family celebrates Hugh's 90th birthday

Hugh's family celebrated his 90th birthday (Nov. 8) by gathering the following Sunday for brunch at the Johns Hopkins Club in Baltimore.

In this group photo, Hugh sits at the head of the table with his wife, Dolores, seated to his left, and their daughter Cathy next to her. Granddaughter Stephanie and grandson Christopher stand behind their mom, and continuing counter-clockwise we see granddaughter Liz, daughter-in-law Lisa, son-in-law Dan, daughter Julie, granddaughter Christine and her wife, Jamie, son Doug, grandson Andy and his girlfriend, Shannon (seated). Granddaughter Rebecca wasn't able to attend.

His children interpreted Hugh's "no gifts" request to mean "just a few things." Among them was a scrapbook of pangrams (sentences including all letters of the alphabet) that Hugh and high-school-age Julie had written to each other as an ongoing game. Julie found where she had kept them, and Christine created cartoons to illustrate them.

Jack receives the sacrament of Baptism

Jack, the son of John and Genevieve, was baptized on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Manhattan. Genevieve's close friend Megan and brother-in-law CJ were godparents.

Genevieve reports: "Fr. [David] Nolan baptized Jack (who didn't cry!) We felt lucky to have so many family members and friends there."

In this photo, Bea receives a big-sister blessing.
