                       Tuesday, January 15, 2008

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my son 
David and his wife Casey on the birth of their first child, Walker 
Blair Etheridge. Walker was born on December 22, 2007, and weighed 8 
pounds and 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. My wife Faye and I are 
ecstatic about the birth of our fourth grandchild, and she joins me in 
wishing David and Casey all the happiness and love that a first child 
brings into your life.
  Faye and I are truly blessed by the arrival of Walker Blair 
Etheridge. The birth of a new child is a joyous occasion that reminds 
us of the promise of a new life. Children remind us of the incredible 
miracle of life, and they keep us young-at-heart. Every day they show 
us a new way to view the world.
  God has truly blessed my family with this new addition. My family and 
I are looking forward to spending a lot time with our new bundle of joy 
and introducing him to all of our friends and neighbors in North 
Carolina's Second Congressional District.
