I am very happy to announce the birth of Albert Bogdan Cook, IV (Dan). Little Dan is the first born of my best friend, Bubba Cook who, with his wife Lavinia, is a missionary in Romania.

Dan was born at 5:30 pm in Bucharest, Romania, on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004. He weighed in at 4 kg (8 lbs. 13 oz.).

Bubba says, "Mother and baby are doing very well. Thank you for all your prayers. Lord willing you'll all get to meet him sometime soon!"
