A photo of me at birth, presumably still in the hospital. The 3x5 card above my head says:

=====
228
KINKADE
7-3-72 11:52A
8 4 21"
McKENZIE
BREIBART
DISMISSAL WT:
=====

Born July 3, 1972 at 11:52AM. I'm assuming that "8 4" means 8 pounds 4 ounces. I can't quite tell, but it looks like a double quote next to 21, so I gather I was 21 inches long. According to my father's recollection, Dr. William J. McKenzie was the doctor who delivered me, and Briebart must have been some other doctor or clinic staff member at Emory. The dismissal weight isn't recorded, likely because I wasn't yet dismissed. I'm also not sure what the "228" signifies. Perhaps I was the 228th baby born in the Emory hospital that day/week/month/year, or maybe it's just semi-arbitrary id numbering system they were using.
