This is a Godly story that began many years ago.  First, some background.

 I had an older half-brother (Bennett, Jr.) who was born about ten years before me.  I also had twin half-brothers (Arnold and Damon) who were born in 1944 and a half-sister (Ila, Jr.) who was born in 1946. 

This is now 2021.  Many years ago I attempted to locate them without any luck.  Infrequent attempts over time also failed.  There was reason to believe that the younger three were in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  (That is another story.)  As fate would have it, on January 12, 2021 Arnold was found living in Albuquerque, NM with his lovely wife Mary.  His phone number was also located.  Thus a call and a jubilant connection was made on that incredible day.  Nearly 73 years had passed without a spoken word! 

Since then we have talked a number of times with plans to try to bring each other up-to-date after all of this time.  Further, I have had frequent discussions with his son Arnold Jr., (Butch) and his wonderful wife Susan.  Looking forward to much more.
