A TODAY viewer says she has made an amazing connection while watching our show this morning. During the story about two co-workers who learned they are long-lost brothers and then found their sister, Kat Cooper posted this on her blog:
Meredith Viera (sp?) asked about another sister that they have never met and were still looking for, Joanne said yes, her birth name was Claire Marie, she would be about 39 years old. That's me. I'm Claire Marie.
I knew the second I saw Joanne sitting on the couch, I knew who she was. We went to high school together, had a study hall, lunch, and gym class together. At one point during those high school years, my sister Jo and I talked to Joanne, we asked her if she had a sister, her last name is my birth last name, she said no, but that's because she didn't know that she even had a sister back then. But Joanne and I are identical, we look even more alike now than we did back in school. ...
That's my sister Joanne and my brothers that I never knew that I had, Gary and Randy. I have a sister and brothers, I'm meeting them tomorrow morning on the Today show.
