I wonder if Alexandra Bracken is on Merry Sue Bracken’s family tree:

The age differential is only fourteen years so Merry could be an aunt or even a sister of Alexandra. Another wilder theory is that Merry was the young teenage mother of Alexandra, although Merry told me she had two sons: one twenty years old and the other twenty-five.
I recall that Merry told me “You cannot help who you love”. Well our culture and society set artificial and legitimate boundaries on who you can love. One sane relationship fence is the age of consent. I believe nowadays the age of consent should be federally set at twenty-one for all U.S. citizens and residents. That way women can get educated before worrying about their biological clocks and having children. The same principle and restrictions should apply to males also. Of course, another smart restriction has to do with fraternization in the military, public, and perhaps private sectors of our democratic republic. A superior should not have sexual relationships with someone under her/his command.
There are quite a few distinguished individuals on my maternal side (Jordan) of my extended family, but their names are not in history books nor the tabloids.
My sister wants me to have a DNA analysis performed to check my paternal side (Williams). According to my theory or paranoia the federal or state government has already secretly done a partial genome mapping of me.
I think that Dr. Yvonne Marie or Maria (no time to check) Greene, MD is perhaps 51 years and probably still married to a distinguished and brilliant medical doctor who also holds a doctor of philosophy degree. As far as I know she is on leave or retired from the Veterans Administration and hospital therapy work in Clayton County and now works for the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. In my research the nearest match for her maiden last name is Dudac (? spelling).
