TMP 1997

Julie Schwab and her husband Joe welcomed another baby boy, Brian Russell, to their family. He's a "little peanut" who weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces and was just 19 inches long. "When asked if he liked his new little brother, big brother David replied ŒYep.' Guess that's about as ringing an endorsement as we can expect."

Kim Anderson and her husband Tom had their second daughter. Hannah Grace was born on August 2. "Life is a little crazy with two in diapers, but that's what happens when you say you want to finish grad school before you have children!"

Frank and Liz Pinn had a baby girl August 10. Her name is Mary Beth. Liz and Frank are really enjoying being parents. Liz has returned to her job in marketing at Hewitt Associates.

Damon Barglow and his wife, Beth, are parents of a baby boy, Rafael David, born Oct. 4. "He is already an accomplished smiler and, if we wedge him in a corner, he can even sit up -- clearly destined for greatness."

Just in time for Northwestern's homecoming, Joseph Michael Patronik was born on Oct. 14. Mary Scott Patronik and her husband, Tim, are both loyal NU alums.
