It's April 14, 2009, and a very happy day for the Marriott family. My son David and his wife Carrie just had another baby boy. The baby was born this morning around 11 o'clock. We don't have a name for him yet, but he's a big boy at 8 pounds, 1 ounce, 20.5 inches long - the biggest child they've had.
They have four children now and we have, altogether, fifteen grandchildren - eight boys and seven girls. We're thrilled that mother and baby are in good health. Everything is fine - ten fingers and ten toes. We're very blessed and fortunate to have this new addition to our family.
I'm Bill Marriott and thanks for helping me keep Marriott on the move.
Congratulations Mr. Bill! You are one of the luckiest grandpas in the world.

Congratulations. I know your family is growing and that is exciting all by itself.
How about the name Carvid or Darrie or Davrie---that's is a combination of the names. Be creative. Good luck, God bless. Hope to hear more about him and the others.
