Khalid Ali, my former Kellogg student, good friend, and communications partner, has encouraged me to write a blog post EVERY Sunday that we publish every Monday. Khalid has advised me that the posts shouldn’t be too long, maybe around 500 words max. Well, given the famous saying “a picture is worth 1,000 words,” I can save time this week with a picture that may be worth a million words (okay, I realize I am VERY biased): I want to introduce you to my first grandchild, HARRISON THOMAS CLARK, who entered the world 7 days ago!!!
I now realize that everyone that told me being a grandparent is the greatest thing in life is right!!!
So far, in my case, being a grandfather is MUCH easier than being the father of 5 children. As one friend told me, “as a grandparent, you have all the fun and none of the responsibilities of being a parent.”
Another friend summed it up a little more jokingly, “Harry, if I had known how great it was to be a grandparent, I would have skipped the father part.”
Julie and I are very lucky that even though Suzie and Casey live in Boston, they are going to live with us for several months during their parental leave!!! Life doesn’t get better than this. ❤️❤️
Congrats to you and your family! You will be an amazing Grandad!
Wonderful and Mazel Tov.
You three look great! Congratulations to family all. BTW, when visiting you many years ago, Suzie scratch my glasses on your table as a young child. Be aware of Suzie’s genetic makeup. Be careful around your grandkid with your stuff. What great news! Looking great!
Harry: Congratulations to you and Julie for such a beautiful grandson – the spitting image of his grandpa. Enjoy every Monte with him and I hope you have many more!

Harry , Congratulations. Susan and I are very happy for you and Julie. Harrison is truly a gift to both of you from God. Enjoy every minute. Terry Mulligan
Harry, I have alerted the Kellogg class of 2053 to get ready for Harrison!
