Ron, 'bm' is birth-mother, and 'bf' is birth-father. My birth father, Allen Neal Dow, had a best friend (whom I have a picture of) in Glendale, named Cecil Downing-any relation to you? I figure there's maybe a handful of people out there who would have known about my birth parents' short relationship, as my birth father was married to another woman at the time of my conception....hope you can help....it's been a long (30 yr) journey....thanks!
