THE LAST BABY (1977)
Every year, newspapers and magazines
across our land sport pictures and
stories about the first baby to be born
in the New Year. Prizes are often
awarded to the young child and his or
her beaming parents. And, rightfully,
congratulations become the order of
the day.
But, in the this New Year, we would like
to congratulate that baby boy or girl
that was the last to be born in 1977.
For you, in essence and in actuality
became the last best hope of the old
year.
You have a heavy responsibility for one
so young. You just may salvage this
old year for the good.
Future generations may look back to
1977 and say. "Well, '77 wasn't all
bad. After all, look who was born on
December thirty-first!"
(Well, here we are, thirty-eight years
later. How have things turned out for
you so far? We hope life has treated
you well.)
