BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

Cousin Christy Self Lucas and her husband, Rob Lucas of Maryville, Tennessee are the proud parents of a bouncing baby boy. James Robert Lucas was born at Blount Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, March 29, 2006. I saw the happy grandmother, Donna Self, today. She told me of the birth and was all smiles as she showed me a picture of the little fella. He has red hair...and lots of it. Little James Robert has a sister, Megan, at home. Christy is the daughter of the late Rev. James Verlin Self. Congratulations to Christy and Rob.
