Born to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Netzer, a son, Curt Lawrence, on Thursday, February 28, 1974 at about 5:45 p.m. Weighing two pounds and four ounces, the two and one half month premature baby, was born in the Colby ambulance between the Colby Clinic and St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, where they were enroute following an examination at the Colby Clinic. Dr. Pfefferkorn was following the ambulance, and when they approached Spencer, it was necessary for him to bring little Curt into this world in the ambulance.

Upon arrival at the hospital he was put into an incubator, and then on Saturday it was necessary that they perform surgery because of a bowel obstruction. Although at the time he had a 10 percent chance to live, he is now holding his own, but will be in the hospital for several weeks. Mrs. Netzer was able to return home and is fine.

Maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Johnson of Dorchester (Clark Co., Wis.), and paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Netzer, Abbotsford.
