Productive lives

WESTPHALIA - On Oct. 7, Elizabeth Gloria Vos was born to Jennifer and Chris Vos of Plymouth, making her the 100th - yes, 100th - great grandchild of 91-year-old Margaret Platte of Westphalia.

Platte's daughter, Mary Lou Russell of Lansing, provided the formula that yielded 100 great grandchildren:

Margaret and Norman Platte had 12 children. Those 12 teamed up to produce 65 offspring, who have, in turn, made 100 babies.

So far.

What a cool milestone! And to think your baby was 100th..... Who tipped the press off on that one?

Okay, so I just found your blog. What, you have 6 children, is that right? Amazing. Good to see the you guys are doing well. I'd love to catch up with you guys. A lot has happened with Scott and I since Emily was a baby, I was borrowing an Indiana Jones movie to bring to Scott's apartment, and you guys were head residents!
