The eighth annual Twin Gathering took place on June 22 at Byerland Mennonite Church in the fellowship hall. Nineteen and one-half sets of twins attended the event, which was organized by the 91-year-old Mueller twins, Verna and Viola of Willow Street.

Jennifer Yellets, Verna and Viola's great-niece, was the master of ceremonies. The event included a covered dish meal featuring ham barbecue made by the Frey twins. Several attendees shared their twin stories, recited Scripture, sang, or read poems.

The Muellers were the oldest twins present, and the youngest set was Matthew and Owen Stoner, 9. The next oldest was Mary and Martha Landis. Darcy and Marcy Blair had traveled the farthest to attend, coming from Butler and Rochester, Ind., respectively.

Additionally attendees were Hannan and Janae Barton, Chris and Elmer Brenneman, Rachel and Rebecca Bross, Becky and Michelle Frey, Marvin and Marian Harnish, Donna and Doris Hershey, Marian and Martha Huber, Elsie Hunt, Ellen and Sue Kochenberger, Richard and Robert Mellinger, Mary Ellen and Ruth Nissley, Donna and Dianne Perrius, Melvin and Mervin Rohrer, Kathryn and Margaret Shelly, Greta and Gretchen Thomas, and Lloyd and Leonard Zimmerman.
