Stork Makes Unexpected Call
September 25, 1983 - In Fridley, Minn., Cathy Montain had figured that, at age 44, it wasn't too late to quit smoking.
She thought the lack of cigarettes was what was making her waistline expand.
But one morning last week, she found out she wasn't too old for something else, and an hour later gave birth to a healthy 7-pound, 9-ounce girl.
You can either laugh or cry. And we are laughing,
said Montain.
She and her husband, David, a state highway designer have five other children.
