A ‘blessing’ in disguise

It took 50 years or so and a global pandemic but longlost sisters, 53-year-old Bev Boro and 73-year-old Doris Crippen, finally found each other. According to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], they were separated when Boro was about six months old. Both had been searching in vain for each other all these years and they were finally reu-nited when Crippen fell ill as a result of the COVID-19 virus. She survived her bout with the deadly disease and was being treated in the aftermath at a rehab facility in Fremont, NE where Boro is employed as a Medication Aide. Boro recognized her sister’s name while reviewing an updated patient list and, as Crippen put it, her disease turned out to be “a blessing.”
