Our maternal grandmother made lots of our dresses when we were little. Once we had anything to say about it,
we didn't dress alike anymore.
We were curious, naturally, so we had DNA testing about 10 years ago. Simple cheek swabs confirmed that we are identical.

Our mother is pictured below in her Marine Corps uniform. She grew up in a tiny town in Ohio, and then became one of the
first women Marines. She told great stories and taught us lots of songs sung by the "Girls" in the barracks.
Semper Fi!

Monozygotic or identical twins occur when one fertilized egg splits.
In our case, the egg either divided into three, or it split in half, and one of the halves split again.
Dr. Antell finds that over time twins look less alike
due to sun, stress, smoking, and other environmental influences. After facelifts, harmony is restored.

During World War II, our father was a sailor on a ship that was sunk in the South Pacific. He grew up in the South Bronx.
Since he had no opportunities for education himself, he was determined that we would graduate from college. Our father supported
women's rights way ahead of the crowd.
