Congratulations, Andy!

Congratulations to Andrew and Rose Ludick on the birth of their first child, Abraham. Welcome Abe!

The Irish Paparazzo were able to capture this exclusive photo.  Andy was one of the original members of Trepanning Trio (back when there were only four of us).  We’re looking forward to seeing him and his family later this Spring, when they visit from their home in Kilkenny, Ireland.
