My great-grandmother Sylvia Freeman Combs was a twin. Her sister, Goldie, and her were nothing alike. In fact there was nearly a foot between them! One had light colored hair, the other dark. One was mischievous, one was serious. This always fascinated me as a child, before I figured out that twins didn't have to be identical. Just the thought that you could be twins and so different sent my head spinning.
Below is a picture of the Freeman (or sometimes seen as Friedman) family. I am sure you can tell why Hattie was 5'8" by looking at her father!
