"There our boy was," he proudly told his wife, "asking people to vote for him."

"It's a boy," he proudly told anybody in the office who would listen.

Her son, the one she proudly told people played for the Yankees, said Christmas will never be the same again.

He proudly told her how well it had gone.

Natalia would proudly tell close friends of her real origins.

And when I proudly told my dad, he promptly grounded me.

He would proudly tell me of the famous people who had studied there.

They proudly told him they had kept up their studies.

"See, I got it done," she proudly told her coach.
