WHEN NEWS OF A COLLECTION OF 18 VINTAGE PHOTOS OF TWINS Maurine and Noreene reached The Sister Project one year ago today, we and our readers experienced a grand collective “Oh!” and worked to find out who these wonderful women were. The mystery got solved…but now, another chapter reveals itself, from a new commenter, Gary, who it turns out worked for 25 years in the camera shop where those photos got processed. Oh, my. Read Gary’s latest chapter in the tale:
“I am from Denison Texas and I worked in a camera store in downtown Denison for 25 years from 1971 to 1996. In that time I sold cameras to the twins and processed and printed many of their photos in that time the twins worked in Denison for Southwestern Bell Telephone as operators until their retirement.
“They were identical almost, I could tell them apart but most people did not know the littlest difference in them. In the latter years they lived with their mother until her death. I never knew the third sister.”
That Gary would find us gives us the chills, and really speaks to the incredible power of the internet. Read the original tale of the mystery twins, published one year ago today, and the update when the mystery was solved here on TSP. But first, click the first thumbnail to see some more of the shots of our favorite twins.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.

her children — both doctors — are still in texas, it appears. would seem relatively easy to find out more!
Whoa, Pam, you are always the finder of the world’s best vintage goodies. Off to explore, and thanks, sister.
