Well who was his Step father? Might be of interest . I had to take my step fathers name when she remarried and he adopted me. I have always felt like a member of his family,but I also want to keep my birth name Pennington as I feel like a man with two Identities. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and think of all we have to be thankful for.
