Identical twin boys, born in Ohio some 40 years ago, were adopted by different families shortly after birth. In 1979, after 39 years apart, they were reunited. It was discovered that each had been named James; each had had law-enforcement training; that each liked mechanical drawing and carpentry. Each married a woman named Linda, had a son - one named James Alan and other James Allan-had divorced, and then married a second wife, named Betty. Both had had dogs named Toy. Also, both favored the same St. Petersburg, Florida, vacation beach.

(Reader's Digest, January 1980, p. 78)
