(My mom took this after we moved out. Our apartment was that door on the right.)
A year or so after we moved in, a young family moved in right next door to us. She was a single mom with two boys. Twins. And guess what? They both had Down Syndrome! They were so cute and very popular at the complex! Unfortunately, we didn't keep in touch after we moved to Washington, but I've never forgotten them. I'm wondering if any of you might know Nathanial and Daniel Unea? They'd be in their mid-twentys by now. I'd love to get in touch with their mom again. One problem, I can't remember her name! I have the boys names on the back of a photo I took of them at the pool when they were about 2, but for the life of me, can't remember hers. I'm hoping someone out there knows them!

I did some Google and FB searches and...nothin. There were an Angie and a Shawna in Eureka, CA with that last name, though, but otherwise there were only 9 people in the US with that name listed in the white pages.
I found this guy:

And this facebook page:

...also I noted that that fb entry is friends with
https://www.facebook.com/ashlee.gorge.5
which has a profile picture that includes several young adults with Down syndrome, including 2 men who look pretty similar....
Hey, hey, check this out!

They are probably living in a group home or with relatives, so I can't find them in the White Pages, but you can probably find some of their fb friends, and track them down that way. Or fb message them directly.
...and Eureka, CA is not all that far from Seattle, WA -- certainly much closer than San Diego!
