We had the Twins with us on Castle. Hubert and Mary treated them like daughters. They had their ailing father with them at the time. I could never tell them apart, or really learn their names. When I would say hello to them, they would turn red and bashfully giggle. I never even knew what language they were speaking. They kept very much to themselves. They were billed then as the Great Golden Carlos Twins, and they were beautiful.
Can anyone update me about my friend, Ernie McClain (McLean?) ?
