FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lucia and Marshall Lloyd Announce Daughter Kendall's Birth.

Lucia and Marshall Lloyd joyfully announce the birth of their daughter Kendall Angela, on June 14, 1999. Kendall tipped the scales at 7 lbs. 6 oz.; 20 1/2 inches in length.

Lucia, a chaplain at the Medical College of Virginia prior to Kendall's birth, was in labor 5 hours and delivered at St. Mary's Hospital outside Richmond (Henrico County). "No drugs!," pointed out Marshall, referring to his wife's decision to forgo an epidural, an anisthetic injection into the epidural space of the spine, in favor of natural birth.

Most notable, however, is that baby Kendall might be the youngest person to have a personal web page on the internet. At 3 days old, which just happened to coincide with her father's return home, baby Kendall made her cyberspace debut. Kendall's home page (accessed at, http://mlloyd.bayside.net) features a photo gallery and links to internet cites that list the benefits of drug-free child birth.

"For years, at a time with very few males on campus, I was St. Margaret's veteran bachelor. Many of my former students were surprised when I got married; now, with my daughter, it's an even bigger surprise, and certainly a happy one," commented Marshall who teaches Latin at SMS.
