Well let proud papa Keith Birchler tell you a bit about this handsome stud:
Brian (19) is a middle child who has just finished his first year at his parents' alma mater the University of Michigan where he is studying engineering. Those who knew how inept his father was at math and science at Rice (dad dropped Br. LaCloche's physics class, the only thing he learned in math was from Mr. Pazcuzzi who taught him what the white stuff on top of chicken shit was) might wonder where he got the ability to be an engineer. His maternal uncles (Rice graduates in '72 and '75) are both engineers so obviously he got his brains from his mom and his good looks from his dad. Brian is an avid soccer player but as his high school was run by neanderthals they didn't have a soccer team for him to play on and develop his skills, so he just carries a ball everywhere (even the butterfly house on Macinac Island) looking for pickup games.
A nice job indeed by Bill Cutting for identifying Brian. By including Brian's mom, Ethel (Klaus) Birchler in his answer, Bill also garners that cherished extra 1/2 point credit.
