Tn fact. the number of solu- tions were as many as 'How old is Ann?" and equally absurd. The truth seems too simple to be credited and vet the fact is this: Jerry ] and Helen F. are the father and mother of Joseph inc and George. and the proudest par. ents one could imagine, for both the children. young as they are. have full filled the dreams and hopes of their happy parents.
