- NATION, Page 49American NotesFLORIDA"She Still Calls Me Daddy"
-
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
