Meet
Luke Gray Sokolowski, not Luke Skywalker, but Logan
County's first Star Wars "May the fourth (be with you)"
baby boy in 2021. Luke was born May 4th, at Memorial
Medical Center in Springfield. He is the son of Matthew
and Tamara Sokolowski of Lincoln.
Soon after, along came
Logan County's second Star Wars Baby, Westley Shelton,
son of mom Taylor Gregory and dad Ryan Shelton, born at
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln.
Luke was born at 9:59 a.m. on Tuesday and Wesley was
born a few minutes later at 10:02 a.m.
As a fun play on the pun, the hospitals of Memorial
Health Systems provided "Yoda" caps and personal light
sabers to all the babies born of their five hospitals on
Tuesday.
