Notes about the family picture

Things to note: my mom was so young looking I had a doctor confuse us as a couple, and a coworker wanted to take out my "sister". 
Ted Dittmer looks really cute and innocent. Ha!! Because he has black hair, and all the other kids had blond hair, we told him he was adopted. 
Kelly, the littlest guy, is with the Lord, as well as Mom and Dad. 
Tim and Terry looked so much alike Mom called them the Bobsy Twins. 
Charmaine or Charly, (Sam Reeve) my youngest sister, other than her insatiable curiosity, was quite sweet. Where that came from, I have no idea.
All of us suffered from borderline mental illnesses, except for Charly and Mom, (Mom's only fault was being sociopathic fearless) but our illnesses were not diagnosed until later. If it doesn't have a name, it doesn'texist yet.
We got along with each other and others pretty well as long as we weren't forced to fit a mold. Then watch out. (I was going to say All HELL would break loose, but decided not to.)
Many people considered us an ideal family, and in some ways we were. We all loved each other and enjoyed each others company and attracted mates (and friends) far above our own caliber.
