Brothers & Sisters
First of all, all nine of us are adopted. 2 were adopted in Texas, USA and the rest were adopted in Germany.
To keep us occupied, my mother gave us all musical instruments to practice on, along with our singing. Eventually she decided to exhibit us at various church functions. We were like the Von Trapp Family only not so happy.
Accordion | Loren, Anna, Milton, Grover, David & Bill |
Autoharp | Carol and Dorothy |
Clarinet | Loren, Milton and Dorothy |
Guitar | Bill |
Maracas | Dianne and Dorothy |
Piano | Grover, David, Bill, Carol, Anna, Dianne and Dorothy |
Saxophone | Loren |
Snare Drums | Loren and John |

I honestly do not remember Bill ever playing the guitar, and since this was a posed picture, so I think he was given that to hold. |

Here we are getting ready to go to another performance in the "Red Rocket", a 1953 VW imported with us from Germany before they were sold in the US |
