Brandie,
I'm not sure if I have the right family-I was married to a Brandon Plake who was in the Marine Corps for 17 years, then moved to washington state. Your mother would be named Tommy. She remarried and I don't know her last name. Last i heard she lived in Colorado. Your father's mother resides in San Diego. Any of this ring a bell? if so, respond and I maybe be able to fill in some blanks.
