The Nordyke twin girls were born the next day(early evening 6 pmish) and the only reason I can see for their names not appearing in the Vital Stats birth announcements was that an entire story was devoted to them considering their father’s position as a doctor. I never did find out how many beds were available at the Kapiolani Maternity Home at the time nor did I find out exactly what Doctor Nordyke’s position(he was an internist wasn’t he?) was at the time or what residents worked at the hospital at the time. Which two girls are you referring to as possibly being the Nordyke twins in the picture? They were not identical twins but they did have the same smile. It’s late, and yet another day of unexpected news I definitely had NOT been anticipating. Thanks for posting this larger photo I had just mentioned it to Gemsbok so don’t be surprised to get a freepmail from her about it.
I’ve gone over that announcement/Nordyke story so often I’m tired of it. IIRC Nordyke had something to do with nuclear medicine. Connected to the Straub Clinic. In the same street as the birth announcement address, from memory.
Robert Allan Nordyke, I it was was. Google is your freind.
