Thanks for remembering that story, Esther! I seem to recall it too, now that you poked my memory banks. Cathy In a message dated 9/30/2009 12:38:06 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, kooiman@svn.net writes: A great story! I heard many years ago about three young men...each having been told by friends that they had seen someone who looked a lot like him...but each never met the person as described. That is, for quite a few years. Then one day one saw a photo of another man who looked exactly like him. This happened twice. It turned out that all three of the men were actually from a set of tripletts, who had each been adopted by a different family and had never been told of the other brothers. They eventually were reunited and learned how much they looked alike, even to wearing the exact same outfit at the time of meeting. How exceptional is that!
