August Charles Roberts

We decided to name our new boy August after Elizabeth's grandfather, Frederick August. Charles is a long used name on Gregg's family side (it is Gregg's middle name as well) going back to the last Welsh-born Roberts on his father's side that immigrated to Wisconsin. We are perfectly o.k. with any of you calling him "Gus" or "Augie," we'll let you all try your choice to see what sticks.

Little August has two great-greatgrandfathers on Elizabeth's side of the family by the name of August! Grandfather David's grandfather was August Lietzke and Grandmother Jenny's grandfather was August Keitel! The kid's got a long heritage already!
