Adler family welcomes first grandchild
Tuesday, December 12, 2017 by Jo Clifton
Mayor Steve Adler and his wife, Diane Land, were thrilled to visit their older daughter, Karen, in Brooklyn this weekend, and welcome to the family their first grandchild. Her name is Remy Short. Adler said she weighed in at 8 pounds at birth, last Thursday. “It just really reaffirms what’s important and it’s still amazing to me that somebody who didn’t exist four days ago is now such a central part of our life. It’s fascinating and wonderful,” he said, to see his daughter as a mother for the first time. We predict more trips to New York.
