isa Ginsburg calls 4-month-old Shelby
her "miracle baby.

Lisa grew up in Southfield's Beacon Square subdi-
vision. Her husband grew up in the nearby
Kingsley Square. But they never met. Mitch, now
an integrated systems specialist at Guardian

Southfield's Salon 77.
Lisa said her parents, Harriet and Michael
Kovacs of Southfield, have not always been
thrilled to jump into their car and drive out to
the farthest reaches of Commerce Township to
visit her. But the baby makes all the difference.
"It's their first grandchild, and they've waited a
long time," says the proud mother.
