- "She Still Calls Me Daddy"
- </hdr><body>
- <p> Before the nine-year-old daughter of Ernest and Regina
- Twigg of Sebring, Fla., died last year, following surgery for
- a heart defect, doctors made an unsettling discovery: Arlena
- Twigg was not their biological child. Last week genetic tests
- established that the Twiggs' real daughter is Kimberly Mays, who
- was born at Hardee Memorial hospital in Wauchula, Fla., at about
- the same time as Arlena.
- </p>
- <p> Robert Mays of Sarasota, Fla., who reared Kimberly
- believing she was his daughter, had the painful task of telling
- her the truth. "She still calls me Daddy," says Mays.
