Wow,  Good eye. I do recall a family growing up. I remember the family well. I knew them as the Chlorine family. There was a set of twin boys, Joey and Johnny Chlorine. Unfortunately the boys were split up at the age of 11. The parents were unable to care for both boys. I believe Johnny was the one sent to an orphanage in Arizona. Unknown what ever happened to the family after Johnny was sent away. I think the family may have moved south towards Florida.
