Waffle Baby

Dr. Howe-Waffle

My name is Evaline Nelson Gibbs. I was delivered by Dr. Howe-Waffle in 1914. I was one of the over 1,000 babies delivered by Dr. Howe-Waffle. I am an active child. I especially enjoy taking swimming and diving lessons. When I'm 14, these lessons will help me save a man from drowning in a river. I must be a very strong swimmer. When I grow up, I will have 6 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. I won't know that I'm a Waffle Baby until I come on a tour of the Waffle House in 2000 when I'm 86 years old. I live to be over 90 years old. I wonder if that makes me the oldest Waffle Baby?
