“My mother used to call us kids by the wrong names (usually when angry)…”

Too funny. I knew I’d been accepted as a member of my husband’s family when my father in law called me by the name of their dead dog
My wife STILL calls her adult daughters by the cat's names and the cats by her daughter's names as in "Boy, Amanda must have just pooped in the litter box, the house stinks!" Me: "You mean Fluffy?" Wife: "Whatever"

Per William Spencer, in the book "Lizzie Borden Uncut", page 163, Brown died on May 1, 1999. Additional interesting note from Spencer, "In January 1996, Brown revealed he was working on another Borden book. He stated it was at that time tied up in legal matters, but it was expected to be published that August. The book was not published, and no trace of it was ever found."
Wish Brown had written that other book, just to be able to more clearly discern whether his first book was just a hoax, but I especially wish that Len Rebello had revisited his own book (no disrespect intended to the late Mr. Rebello by putting his name in the same sentence with Arnold Brown’s.) I so greatly admire “Lizzie Borden: Past and Present.”
