Upland Hills Health birth possible significance
in U.S. population reaching 300 million |
| |
| Did a Dodgeville birth take
the U.S. population to 300 million? Could
be. |
|
| Little Shea Luckey,
son of Lisa and Tory Luckey, was born at
Upland Hills Health in the wee hours of the
morn on October 17, 2006. While his arrival
at 4:45 am was slightly earlier than the
projected 7:46 am time set by the Bureau,
it is still possible Shea was number 300
million due to the margin of error in calculating
such an estimate. |
