Les and Cindy's new addition

There's a new PowerZone member on the horizon, as regulars Les and Cindy Sturt have a new addition to their family.

Duncan Leslie George Sturt was born on July 16, weighing in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces.

Les was playing in the Parsippany Grass Tournament on July 15, with Cindy spectating, when she felt it was time to head for the hospital. Les, who was playing in the reverse coed doubles with Ann-Lee Yuan, had to leave without playing their last pool play match that day, but Cindy's feelings were right since she spent the night in the hospital and gave birth the following morning.

Cindy said all three Sturts are doing well. "I came home two days later, and Les is home on paternity leave. My mom moved in today (Monday) to give us a break,'' Cindy said.

Cindy said they choose the name Duncan because "it's Scottish-sounding and unique. We debated it a lot because we aren't sure if he'll get bullied because of it, but we wanted something different.''

The first middle name came from Les' dad, and George is after Les' uncle. But he joked to PowerZone director George Mon that the baby was named after him because George was the last person he and Cindy saw at Volunteers Park before they left for the hospital.

Duncan Leslie George Sturt is 20 inches long, Cindy said. "He's a good size,'' she said. "We still haven't decided if my Asian genes or Les' Scottish genes won.''
Either way, he'll probably be a great volleyball player!
