04/23/2008: "Else Ranker & A Proud Parent"

(Kevin Ranker presents photo (doctored a bit to make if clear) of Else Ranker to the County Council)

County Council Member Kevin Ranker announced the arrival of a new daughter, Else (pronounced ELSE-uh) at the opening of Council Meeting today, and displayed her picture on the video projector.

The Council Members often kid Ranker about how much and how long he speaks, and so when they offered their congratulations, Council Member Rich Peterson asked if Kevin had been talking, since it appeared Else had covered her ears.

Kevin reported that Else arrived at 5:27 p.m. on Thursday, April 17, 2008 and she weighed in at 8.2 pounds. He said his wife, Tina Torri, the baby and he are all doing well, though he said that none of them are sleeping through the night yet. This is their first child.
