Birth notice

Mason Kristopher Bell was born in San Diego at 11:55 p.m., on December 24, just in time to share the Christmas Eve birthday with his great-grandfather, Howard Brawn, of Puget Island. This continues a 108-year long holiday tradition for the family: Howard’s mother, Lucille, was born on New Year’s Eve, 1910, and his daughter Shaleen on Halloween, 1961. The proud parents are Reece and Amanda Lynn (Brawn) Bell.
