Harrison..you're handsome and intelligent and you've already surpassed your grandfather Blaine's typing. I'll come over soon so we can play.
Send more pictures.
I love you hugs and kisses to all,
PAPA Leslie 
Congratulations Dawn & Doug, Leslie just called us and gave us your new E-Mail Address for Harrison. You must be extremely happy. We will keep abreast of your progress on the Internet as you report it. Say Hello to Grandma for us.
Love,
A-J & Tim
This web site is great! Thank you for thinking of us and allowing us to share this joy with you. Harrison looks just precious and Dad looks just right holding him...a good fit! Maybe we'll get to see a group photo one of these days?? Hope Mom has a rapid recovery, Dad continues to glow, and Grandma Ro 'comes down'...or at least keeps BP under control. Tried getting Papa Les here for a few days but it seems he prefers playing house the McCauley Culkin way...oh well. Continue to keep us posted and again - many thanks for this site.
Much love,
Ellen & Warren
Pittsburgh, PA
P.S. Happy Birthday Dawn. Always a time to reflect...we were getting married and you were expected momentarily...a very vivid memory...
Well, as a first time Great Uncle, I must say that's the best looking baby I've ever seen on the whole darn Internet! And that encompasses a lot! I will try to forward this page to Great Aunt Pat in Ohio to get her comments...otherwise we'll have to wait until she gets back to Germany this coming Wednesday.
Love,
GREAT UNCLE DAN & PAT 
To Dawn & Doug; You made a great addition to your family with Harrison. I know you made Rowee & Les very proud Grandparents. The pictures here on the net are just fantastic. I wish the two of you all the luck in the world.
Sincerely,
Kevin Duffy
We finally found him, and he is just beautiful and perfect. This has taken me two days of browsing this endless web, but he is well worth it.
Love to all: "Aunt Sandy and Uncle Mahtab"
Ah! To be 'peed upon' by one's newborn offspring is the international 'language' of good luck, good health, and . . . good aim. Kudos to little Harrison! The detailed diary updates are fantastic! Thanks again for keeping us posted and for making us part of this joy.
Love,
Ellen
Dear Doug and Dawn
Mazel Tov on the birth of your son. I hope he brings you lots of Nachos (not the chips) for many years to come.
Love,
Ross Elion 
Dear Harrison
Don't worry about your circumcision. I also had one at your age and turned out just fine. The only side effects of having it at such a young age is that you won't be able to walk for about 18 months.
Hang in there buddy.
Love,
Ross
Doug and Dawn, congratulations and best wishes on your bouncing baby boy. May he bring you both bundles of joy.
Love,
Jenny
Harrison, this is your Uncle Joe from New Jersey (it is sort of like Africa here). I am so excited to have you on board this wonderful merry-go-round we call life!! Even though your mum and dada are a bit nuts I know you made the right choice and you'll be in great hands. I like that you have started on the good bubbly from a young age, maybe we can figure out how to get it from the tap from mum instead of that flat milk stuff! About the circumcision, it has its pluses and minuses. Sure it hurts a bit for awhile but look on the bright side. Sixteen years from now none of the local girls will ever call you the headless horseman, plus in my case it was great for weight loss. I lost 2 pounds (almost a kilo) instantly when they lopped mine off. I'll keep in touch and will have to drop in to check on you soon.
Uncle Joe and Aunt Amanda
Dawn and Doug congratulations on the birth of your son Harrison. The pictures are great and Harrison is a beautiful baby. Grandpa Les runs home each night and tries to get on the internet to see new pictures. Also, my congratulations to Grandma Rowee.
All my best wishes for your family.
Kevin Ryan
Congratulations on the birth of your first child. I hope you have many more, although Doug is getting a little old to have too many young children running around.
Good luck with your parenting skills. These are acquired the hard way - you earn them.
Mike and Jenny Lavey
Dear Dawn We knew you had it in you! Congratulations, guys.
Erich & Tracey
Looks just like me.
Proud UNCLE Mike
Congratulations Dawn & Doug, Rowee & Les on your beautiful baby boy. We
all send our love and good wishes to all of you. Dawn you look great, but where is the
picture of the proud Grandma with Harrison? Matt Sr., Matt Jr., Lisa & Roe all say
"Hi!" from Rockaway Beach, N.Y. P.S. Rowee, I miss you.
Love,
Roe
Dear Harrison; Call me when you are 18!
Love,
Uncle Paddy
Dear Doug and Dawn, Harrison is beautiful! Congratulations!! We look forward to seeing you and your son in the future. We hope it will not be too long. With the birth of Harrison your life has changed, but you will find that it is a wonderful change. We are very happy for you.
Love,
Bob and Maria
Dear Doug and Dawn, Congratulations! Harrison is a beautiful baby. We are very happy for you. Keep using this internet site. We'd love to share your exciting ttimes with Harrison. We hope to see you all in the not to distant future. Conratulations to you Harrison on bravely making it through your "procedure." You sound like a future Wolverine.

Doug, Dawn & Harrison: This is from your cousin Gark (typed by Maureen at her office). Congratulations to all of you. We were happy to hear about the arrival of Harrison and wish you all the best. We have three sons now, ages 10, 7 & 6 and know that you will have great fun with your little guy. We look forward to hearing from you through this e-mail address.
Take care,

Dear Harrison,
I just got back from from Cancun can't wait to take you to the Mayan ruins, snorkling in the Carribean etc.
Doctor of the Year that's me (another free trip! Yeah!). My presentations were well received. Wish we were all there together.
Miss you all. I need typing lessons from you (this has taken me half an hour). Will send you pictures.
I love you all and miss you all.
Papa Leslie
Dear Harrison, I had your picture printed so now I can show it to as many of
your Canadian relatives as I come across. You are adorable, and we are looking forward to
seeing more pictures. Be good, talk to you later.

Dear all three of you: What a great idea this Website is. It seems like you
have a very intelligent son...
Keep well.
Love,

Hello Doug and Dawn:
Sitting at Craw's with Big Mike and Craw and found your site on the Web! Hope everything is well with you in SA. I have returned from a nine-month around-the-world trip with my wife Sue in Feb/97 and am now the CFO at American Disposal Services in Burr Ridge, IL (NASDAQ:ADSI). It's a garbage industry consolidator. Well gotta run but send an update to me if you get a chance.
Steve "Pins" Lavey
So nice to actually see him in person. Well I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
He is beautiful!
Love,
Amanda
Hello Doug, Dawn & Harrison:
Sorry we haven't written lately but things have been a little crazy around here. The Ontario teachers have been on an illegal strike for about two weeks now. We are scrambling to be sure one of us is at home with the boys. I certainly hope they go back to teaching soon.
This Website is a great way to communicate. I think we've talked more in the past month than in the last ten years or so. We heard (by e-mail) from Bob in Texas a few weeks ago. And I guess your sister, Sue, is patiently (!) awaiting her little bundle in mid-December. You can imagine how happy we were to hear her good news. It would be really great to see the new babies when you visit around the end of this December, and who knows if one of the Jordan's will throw a mini-reunion? Hopefully you won't be too busy.
Take care,
Your Cousin Gark, Maureen & Boys
Looking forwarded to seeing Doug and Dawn and meeting Harrison on 12/31/97.
What a way to ring in the New Year!
AUNT Susan
Happy First Thanksgiving Harrison! Papa Leslie is joining the other WASP's and is making his annual pilgrimage to The Parade. Did you know that your Dad lived at 3 West 75 St. and Mom On Central Park West and 71 St. Great places to see all the balloons !! (If they make it).
Love,
PaPa Gulu
Dear Doug, Dawn and Harrison:
Now that Harrison is a big boy of some 10 weeks, you will be looking forward to meeting
Father Xmas very soon. We hope you get lots of nice pressies and can play with them on
Christmas morning. Perhaps that will be in USA so this is an early message in case you do
leave Johannesburg prior to Christmas. We only just realised there was a lot of reading in
your diary which we have visited. You certainly are a well loved little man and we join
with all your Aunts and Uncles in welcoming you to your first Xmas. Don' t eat too much
turkey this time! Have a happy family time wherever you may be for Christmas.
With love from,
Uncle Keith and Aunty Vel in Australia 
It was great seeing you in NY and finally meeting Harrison...a charmer. Hope
the trip back went smoothly and that Harrison is feeling better. Looking forward to your
next visit.
Love,
Ellen
Congradulations Dawn and Doug!!!!! Welcome to the world Harrison!!! We have a few friends for you to play with once you come back to the states.
Love,
Patsy, Jim, Timmy, Heather, Meaghan & Liam Burke
Dear Harrison, Welcome to the world. You're a beautiful baby. I've enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the email. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Denny Hanson
Hello, Dougie, and twice the congratulations...your beautiful wife and a handsome new son!! This is Susan (Bloom) Wisden and your dear brother, Bobby, called me today (Easter Sunday) and tried to catch me up on all that I've missed. My mom and Maryann had told me about your Mom, but you and Susie..it's hard for me to fanthom; at 51 I guess and I'm stalled in some of the past. It's good to see you and know you are well and I'll check in every once in awhile. Much love to you and all of yours!!!! Susan Wisden and my new honey, Don Flagstaff, Arizona
Enjoyed looking at the pictures, we're a bit late but we finally got the internet, looking foreward to hearing about the arrival of the next Franke baby. love Kathy Perdeaux
I just curious who gave you the right to mutilate your son's foreskin? It is an extremely important part of the penis, and the ritual you participated in a barbaric and senseless. God does not want to collect foreskins; Jews and Muslims and doctors who performs such non-essential surgery violate the oath of their profession. Parents do not have the right to brand, to tattoo, to remove parts of their children's bodies for the "fun" of it. There is no reason for this surgical procedure in our culture. In fact, women are discovering more and more that intercourse with an uncircumcised man is more preferable than with the alternative. It's just plain ignorance that drives this barbarity. It has almost been eliminated, even for many Jews, in England, and certainly throughout Europe. I feel very very sorry for your blase indifference and gleeful mutilation of your son!
Doug,
Where are you? I am trying to get a handle on whether you are still with the firm or not. If you are State Side or over in another part of the world. How is the family? Any new additions.
E- Mail me..
Warm regards to all.
Patsy Burke
