This was certainly a big quarter for family news. Not only did Arthur and Alixandra get married (above), Kendal and Brandon had our first grandson (right)!

The wedding was presidded over by Arthur's brother Dan and was blessed by excellent weather – in spite of the early October outdoor ceremony. Both events were overshadowed by COVID, but care was taken to limit exposure and no problems have surfaced. We headed south to PB in our little RV shortly after the wedding, and used the little RV to head up to see our new grandson after Thanksgiving.

The new grandson is Arthur Vernon IV, named after ancestors on both sides of his family. He will be known as Ari to differentiate him from his predecessors on his Sager side: Art, Vernon, and AV. His familiar name is also a reflection of his Jewish ancestry.
