I’ve been missing my twin, Arthur, lately — wishing he lived nearby.  The<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
colorized 1951 portrait below, from just before out second birthday, might <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
be the <\/FONT>last time any one could get us to smile for the camera (at least <\/FONT>simul- <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
taneously).  As you can see, I am already a little reluctant.  Not much (heh)<\/FONT><\/DIV>

update<\/FONT><\/STRONG>:<\/EM> Sept. 2, 2004:  By popular demand, Big Sister Linda (who is also <\/FONT><\/DIV>
