Niagara Falls, New York, USA overlooking Canada

The banner photo for this website was taken in the summer of 2012, about 8 months after the deaths of my natural father and adoptive mother. All four of my parents are now deceased. The waters that flow over Niagara Falls not only fill my soul, but also remind me that both sets of parents visited this spot on their respective honeymoons; adoptive parents in 1938 and natural parents in 1946. Their photos were taken in the same photo booth, which no longer exists. These photos are reproduced in my memoir. I believe I am the only adoptee in the world to own photos of both sets of parents taken at the same photo booth at this world-famous natural wonder.

Edward and Doloris Wheeler, 1938

Genevieve and Leonard Sippel, 1946
