  Despite what
some of our friends might think, Marilyn and I experienced no lasting, serious
side effects caused by our mother dressing us (at every opportunity) in
identical outfits. Not once did either one of us ask her, “Am I Marilyn
or Carolyn?” Santa
left us twin dolls under the Christmas tree every year. (Carolyn, Marilyn
- four years old) |
 A
trip to visit Uncle Wilbur and Aunt Elmie always ended in a photo shoot
in the back yard. (Carolyn, Marilyn - four years old) |

 Which
twin has the Toni? It’s either the new perms or the itchy petticoats
that have us both grimacing. (Carolyn, Marilyn - five years old) |
|
Our mom’s
good friend, Rosemary Ruhe, made us these matching blue corduroy dresses.
We were visiting Uncle Wilbur and Aunt Elmie in Toledo when Uncle Wilbur
took this shot. (Carolyn, Marilyn - five years old) |

 Uncle
Wilbur loved to take us out on Lake Erie in his small motor boat. He bought
us these sailor hats and took this picture on a very sunny day.
(Marilyn, Carolyn - six years old) |
