Billy and Pam are pregnant!

Billy and Pam have recently announced that they are going to have a baby in the spring. Both seem very happy about the soon to be bouncing bundle of baby. Advance rumor has it that the baby will be named Valerie if it is a girl and Joseph William if it is a boy.

Bill Kuhens retires!

Mr. William Kuhens is now an old man. He is retired and done with work. A party was held for him in the backyard of Billy's house upstate and Bill was VERY surprised. People came from all over the place and it was really a testiment to Bill that so many people would show up for his party. Mary Leddy and Bill McCarthy came all the way from Martha's Vineyard for the party. Bill's company, Goldman Sachs also threw him a gala affair in New York City. Click here to see some pictures of both parties.

Our Next Family Reunion Will Be on the Toyota Lot

Kerry and Tommy bought a new car. Well a truck actually. A nice huge Toyota Tundra that has a cap on the back to keep the darn dogs in. They also bought a new trailer so now they can come to your house with the horses instead of you having to drive all the way up here. Always thinking about the rest of you those Clair's, eh? Well the new truck is white, the trailer is a light gray and can actually hold THREE horses. Tom says he doesn't want to know anything about THREE horses. We'll see. Can we quote ya on that Tom?

Could Michael possibly pass a PSYCH test???

Michael Kuhens took his psychological exam early on the morning of August 16, 2001. This is the last stage before he gets called to be "on the job" and become a real firefighter (like his cousin Alfred!). Michael had to go and talk to the psychiarist and the guy was really nasty until he mentioned losing Al in line of duty. All of a sudden the guy became sweet as pie, leaving Michael to learn the very important lesson that it is not what you know but who you know. Good luck Michael!
