(This is how they look in my childhood memories - when Mary was still called "Mary Gail" and Carl was called "Carl Ray")

Mary married Walter Jensen and they had one child: Kristie Maurene

And guess what -- Kristie's birthday is also today!!!

Kristie was born 21 January 1974.

Mary is now married to Rod Schermer

(And they lived happily ever after.)
