This past Tuesday, we were blessed with the birth of our first great-grandson, Gabriel Henry Feeser. The middle name Henry comes from my great uncle on my father’s side, who was passed to me, and thence to our grandson, Michael Henry.
But the story goes beyond just names. For don’t you see, my wife’s father, Charles Arthur Pierson (1904-1981) was an electrical engineer from Purdue University. I am also an EE from Purdue. Our son Justin is a metallurgical engineer from the University of Washington in Seattle. His son, Michael, has worked as a data engineer at Amazon, where he is currently a data scientist. I have already talked to Michael about Gabriel keeping the chain going into a fifth generation, which he is on to.
