Black and White Twins

WONDERS WILL NEVER END...
GOD IS STILL THE AUTHOR OF WONDERS!!!

Pictured: Proud parents show off their million-to-one black and white twins Welcoming new twins into the world is always a momentous event. But when brothers Ryan and Leo arrived they had an extra surprise for their parents - they were born with different colored skin. For one twin to be black and one to be white is so rare that it is thought by medical experts to be a one in a million occurrence. Proud parents: Florence Addo-Gerth and Stephan Gerth with their newborn twins Ryan (right) and Leo (left) Proud parents Florence Addo-Gerth and Stephan Gerth are over-joyed by the new additions to their family, which includes 18-year-old brother Randy. Mother Florence, 35, hails from Ghana , west Africa while father Stephan is German. Stephan, 40, said that although the couple were surprised by the children different colorings the most important thing was that the babies were healthy. Big yawn: Ryan (left) and Leo enjoy a nap, oblivious to the sensation their births have caused The infants caused a sensation at the Sana Hospital in Lichtenberg , Germany , where they were born on Friday last week, with guests crowding around to greet the new arrivals. And it is not only their skin colors that are different - the twins are already revealing opposing personalities. Light-skinned Ryan is described as a 'spirited' baby, while laid back brother Leo is a lot calmer. Senior doctor Birgit Weber, who helped deliver the tots by cesarean section, said that in 20 years of practice this was the first time she had seen differently colored twins.

Never Forget

Here she is.., Ms USS New York - Made from the World Trade Center!

Sent: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 9:04 pm

USS New York
It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the

World Trade Center.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment f or everybody there.'

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.'
The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'
