My sister Ann (or Georgann, a name she never liked and stopped using in the 1960's) was born on September 14, 1950, also in Tampa, FLA. She weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces, according to the telegram sent to Grandma and Grandpa Sanchez in Newport Beach, CA. There doesn't seem to be the same slew of baby pictures that accompanied my birth. But from this point forward, dozens of photographs of the two of us together, posed everywhere, fill the two photo albums. A few pictures of me, including this one, simply don't look like me. I always had those big, brown eyes. Here, I appear to be squinting as I smile for the camera. But it does not look like me. Perhaps I was uncooperative and they used a stand-in? (Just kidding.)
