Timothy wrote and had this printed in the Sunday Syracuse Newspaper. He recalls that while sleeping-in late that morning he heard his mother's screetch from all the way on the other side of the house. He smiled as he lay in bed that his surprise worked! She was methodically going through each section of the newspaper as her usual part of her Sunday morning routine, then turning to the Matrimonial Section... "Who did this?!!!" was heard through the house, but she was in total glee of emotion. Then a loud laughing..."...in order of their appearance on Earth! That's got to be Timothy's!"
