Reuben Rowen

Reena and I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family: Reuben Rowen Freedman-Riles. He was born December 9th in good health and weighing 7lb 2.3oz. The name Reuben derives from the Hebrew name of Reena's maternal grandfather, Robert, who passed away this past June. He was an amazing man who we miss very much, and we hope Reuben will embody his industry, immense knowledge about the world, and love for family. The name Rowen comes from Dan's paternal great-grandmother. Bertha Belle Rowen loved gardening and music, and she was ahead of her time in advocating for fairness and equality both on a personal and national level.

We hope those of you who are local you will get a chance to visit us and meet Reuben! Phone calls and visits are welcome anytime.
