A. Michael Kendrick’s father, Aaron Kendrick, is from Michigan. His own mother, father, brothers and sisters all still live in or near Lansing, Michigan. Aaron attended the University of Michigan, majoring in math.
A. Michael’s mother, Reecca MacGregor, graduated from high school in Florida, but had schemed, with her cousins on her father’s side, for two years to be able to return to Michigan. She lived with her aunt and uncle so she could pay tuition as an in-state student at the University of Michigan. She majored in nursing.
Reecca’s cousins are girl cousins. One of them has a crush on this guy in her chemistry class. She talks Reecca into going on a double date with her and the cute guy and a friend of the cute guy’s. The cousin and the friend wind up having a lot more in common, and Reecca and ‘cute guy’ hit it off. ‘Cute guy’ turns out to be Aaron Kendrick. Reecca and Aaron begin dating and soon are an “item.” They marry shortly after graduation. Reeca’s brother The Right Rev. Stuart MacGregor comes to Michigan to perform the wedding mass. Reeca's and Stuart’s Aunt Sister attends the wedding.
Aaron gets a job with the University. Reecca gets a job with the county clinic. Four months after the wedding, Reecca gets pregnant. She continues to work through the pregnancy. The two of them are mighty excited. This is the happy beginning of the big family that they both want. Reecca works at the clinic through the seventh month of her pregnancy. The last two months she and Aaron spend being excited and preparing the nursery for the baby.
The baby, A. Michael Kendrick, is born with one of the largest attendants of grandparents, aunts and uncles that the Lansing hospital has ever had in the waiting room on the maternity floor. It was an easy birth; everything went smoothly and according to expectations.
Proud new parents Reecca and Aaron come home from the hospital to truckloads of flowers and cards. And casseroles. All is well in paradise. Reecca’s cousins are thrilled that Reecca and her family are going to stay in Michigan.
