Eight is GREAT!

Greg Fieg called your editor the other day with wonderful news.  His daughter, Sarah Corkery, and her husband Kevin are expecting baby number eight around January 3, 2014.

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to chat with the new mom (no, that's not the right term; she is the mom anew!), after enjoying a heart-warming rendition of the title song "The Sound of Music" warbled by the three oldest girls, Maren, Collette and Grace, over the phone.  We traded women's war stories (childbirth tales) and Sarah told me about being blown away by four-year-old daughter Frances' singing debut, an impromptu rendition of something from "The Phantom of the Opera" on an open mike following a recent children's performance.  I expect we'll see the Corkery Sisters on the Great White Way or America's Got Talent pretty soon.

The newest addition to the Corkery family will bask in the love of the aforementioned sisters as well as child number four, Karoline, and twin brothers Sean and Seamus at their home in Oneonta, N.Y.  We wish them well.
