Robert, Your memory seems so much clearer than mine. I was only 8 years-old when I was there. How old were you? Dianna was my best friend, but I never knew she had a brother. It was a long time before I even knew Sarah was her Mother. Sarah wouldn't talk about it. My oldest brother Ronnie may have gone by the name Ron and he became close with a girl named Tina.
