Daven Raymond... an afternoon birth! What a unique concept! We should have thought about that years ago. The last member of our family was also born at the Riverside Hospital. Nothing happened at all. Another plus. WRONG!! Daven was an accident waiting to happen. Always moving. Always finding something new to frighten the pants off his parents and turn them gray. I think he was the originator of the phrase…"cut & stitch". OK, there is no phrase but it's close. He has survived and he and his girlfriend, Anna Lee Shepherd, at the time of this writing, are expecting their first child. They tell me that the ultrasound tells them that it's a boy. I say…"wait and see"..
