Response from Diana

Aunt Mary and Uncle Peter,

I enjoyed seeing the new pictures on the web site! I've attached another one in case you'd like to add it to the collection. Kilian achieved his Eagle Scout rank earlier this year, but we postponed the award ceremony until just after graduation when we knew his grandparents would be here. Aunt Laurie was also able to come, so this is a picture of us at his reception June 6th. See you next month!

Big News in the Family!!!

Congratulations to Kilian Cooley, who will graduate from high school on June 4. Kilian is Salutatorian of his graduating class!


Noah Bruce Cintron Arrives!
More congratulations for Rachel and Guillo, whose son was born on May 23, weighing 5 pounds, 15 ounces. Noah was born 4 weeks early in order to be ready to attend the Herr reunion. He is definitely the youngest in the Herr family. (Does anyone want to claim to being the oldest??)
