Still Searching

Michelle and I first saw our "identical, triplet sister" in the summer of 1963. Until that time, we never knew we were anything but twins. After seeing "her" many times at a public pool in Farmingdale, L.I. New York, I asked our mom about the girl who looked more like my twin sister than I did our mother sat us down and told us the story of our births. The welfare hospital that she was assigned to was called Mary Immaculate Hospital, located in Queens, N.Y. Priests and nuns were in charge of all patients. Her first baby girl was prematurely born in the hospital hallway. Her second baby girl was born a few minutes later in a delivery room. She remembers pushing and hearing a third baby cry. At that moment, the doctors anesthesized her for three days. Only two baby girls went home with their parents. Where is the third identical triplet sister?
