Best friends
Marilyn comes from a family of 5 girls - her; a set of twins Janice/Joyce and another set of twins Cheryl/Carol - the challenge was their dad ran a commercial orchard (apples, peaches and much more) so they learned HARD work that gave them an inner strength that is to be admired. They also learned to hunt and fish (ha) - Marilyn's mom shot a bear once - and this article is about the 13 yr old huntress (ha). What a life!
Rick and Brenda - this made Mom so happy....
