David's family background

His grandparents worked on a farm.

In those days if a child ( or teen worked) the parents would take their pay check in for the family.

David's mother, Janet, had that experience.

Janet's mother told her it was a sin to smile!

David's parents, Ron and Janet, both had the experience as teen of having their parents move out of town, back to the farm, to protect there children from "cars, girls, beer and Rock n Roll".

When Ron and Janet met they were in there teen living separately. But they started to have sex and she go pregnant. The got married but not in a Mennonite church! Ron was 19 she was 18.

They found out twins were on the way. (The both had odd jobs, I don't think they graduated from high school)

Ron doubled his wages by getting a union job.

Janet found out she had pregnancy related high blood pressure ( toxemia).

By induced labor the twins, identical, were born on Aug. 22 1965: Bruce and Brian.

Later at 7 months both boys were diagnosed with phimosis -- a condition where passing water is difficult because the foreskin is closed (closing).
