Congratulations!

Weighing in at an even seven pounds, William Whitley was born to Ed and Susie Whitley on the evening of February 7, 2008 at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.

The proud parents are happy, if somewhat sleepy, and they are pleased to report that baby William correctly identified the Cassatt poster that was hanging in the delivery room.
