Baby Lipscomb
Phone rings Friday evening 9:30pm 3/28….”Hey Dan, it’s Hollis. Jen asked me to call to let you know she was not going to show for the Highlands Trainer tomorrow morning. We’ve been here at the hospital since 1:30 and it looks like this baby on the way.” Reply, “Ok Hollis, that’s a pretty good excuse. Be well and have fun, and tell Jen we’ll be talking about her for not showing up tomorrow morning.”
So on March 29 at 1:58am Daniel Ryan Lipscomb finally made his way into the world to joyful parents. Jennifer and Hollis, and now Daniel have an unusual relationship to the Highlands Sky. In the spring of 2003 Jennifer had recently moved back to WV. She met up with the fledgling WVMTR and volunteered to help with the first Highlands Sky Trail Run. At her assigned Aid Station 2 location in the wilds of Roaring Plains who should be there but Hollis, paramedic with the Tucker County EMS. The rest is their history. Welcome Daniel Lipscomb, future paramedic runner!

That cute kid couldn’t have two better parents. Great name, too.
Congratulations to Jennifer and Hollis!!! Young Daniel couldn’t have been born to any better parents….. and so nice to name him after Lehmann.
Congratulations! I am so very happy for both of you!
Congratulations Jennifer and Hollis!
Dan’s comments on the Highlands Sky are so true. Another amazing bit of trivia…Daniel was born on March 29, 2008-the date of the Highlands Sky trainer. Parents met on a running day and Daniel was born on a running day….he’s gotta be a runner.
Thanks to everyone in our extended family.
Hollis, Jennifer, Daniel and Molly
