What’s better than a horse
or pony or a dog for
Christmas?
Well, twin sisters for New
Year’s, of course! A double
serving of sugar and spice!
But it did take some getting
used to for the girls’ three
and a half year old big
brother, Jason Brown.
When we went out to
welcome the young ladies to
their Cindy Lane home in
Lititz, Jason Was proud
enough to pop at being the
older brother and only son.
According to his dad, Bill
Brown, an engineer with
A.G. Kurtz, Denver, Jason
was looking forward to
having brothers and the idea
of being the only son and big
brother hand’t really oc­curred
to him until the girls
came home.
With ruffled bassinets on
either side of the room,
Jessica and Juliane, the first
and second babies born in
Lancaster County in 1982,
held their first at home press
conference. And Jason was
dashing back and forth,
tugging on a coattail, and
saying, "C’mon over here. 1
wanna show ya sumpin.”
Jessica was the first born
of the twins, weighing in at 5
pounds 14 ounces. Juliane
made her debut shortly
thereafter, at 6 pounds 9
ounces. Madonna, which is
their mother, Linda Brown’s
maiden name is the middle
name for both girls.
Jessica and Juliane are
already causing confusion at
the Browns. Bill was holding
Jessica during part of the
interview and Linda thought
he was holding Juliane.
"Oh, Bill! ” she exclaimed.
"That’s Juliane!”
"No, you have Juliane,”
he responded.
Linda checked, going by
baby’s size as much as by
"Mother Knows” and had to
admit laughing, "You’re
right!”
Jason can apparently tell
the girls apart already and
finds that, for the moment,
Jessica is an easier name for
him to say.
The big brother job is
filled, for sure, and the
Browns, all of them have
their hands full.

Who’s who and which is which is one of the
questions that the Bill Browns will enjoy dealing
with in years to come. Twin daughters, Juliane
Madonna, held by her mother, Linda, and Jessica
Madonna, held by her big brother Jason with a
possible assist from Dad, came home from Lan­caster
General Tuesday, to their Cindy Lane ad­dress.
