                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2005

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Michael 
Galbraith Kroart and Mrs. Elizabeth Sparrow Kroart on the birth of 
their child, Master Jonathan Wallace Kroart. Jonathan was born on 
Thursday, May 5, 2005 and weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces. My wife Faye 
and the entire Etheridge family join me in wishing Michael and 
Elizabeth great happiness during this very special time in their lives.
  As a father of three, I know the immeasurable pride and rewarding 
challenges that children bring into your life. Their innocence keeps 
you young-at-heart. Through their inquiring minds and wide-eyed wonder, 
they show you the world in a fresh, new way and change your perspective 
on life. A little miracle, a new baby holds all the potential of what 
human beings can achieve.
  I welcome young Jonathan into the world and wish Michael and 
Elizabeth all the best as they steer him through all of the joys and 
challenges that life brings.
