In their early years I considered Helen, Cindy and Carol to be a burden or hardship in my life. First they took from me the position of being the "baby" of the family. I was old enough to learn how to change their diapers, I had to be their baby-sitter, and was expected to even consider their safety and welfare. My brother Bill was not the best role model for me in this context, and would in fact find a way to pass his responsibilities in this regard off to his little brother. Is it any wonder then that when the song Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered became popular I identified my situation by identifying each of the three title words to one of my sisters?
I think that my sister Carol was "Bewiched", but I can't for the life of me remember why. Easiest to identify, she was the one "with dark hair and no braids". I saw her as being more like our brother Bill than her twin Cindy. I don't know for sure but I would guess that Carol would check out to have the highest IQ of the family. Still, if she is so smart, why did she go to law school and then take a job that didn't make her rich?

Carol and I are NOT identical twins. She grew up smart, I was funny. Her family and professional life reflect a devotion to nurturing others. She is more than smart, she is insightfull and acts on her concern for others. I think it is significant that Carolhas a garden - she loves to grow both vegetables and flowers because she values quality and beauty.

She was married to Michael OBERDORFER on 19 Aug 1968. Michael OBERDORFER (photo) was born on 29 Aug 1942. Carol Villines BANDY and Michael OBERDORFER had the following children:
