2. Do you have brother's and sisters? one younger sister & two younger brothers. What are their names? Diane, Scott & Todd. How old were you when they were born? 2 , 8 & almost 11.Do you remember the first time you saw them? Not Diane, but the boys yes.

3. What about your aunts and uncles? Judy & Art, Ruth & Bill (her first husband was Bob). Did they play an important part in your growing up? not really, they all lived far away.
