Patty and Betty were two-year old twin sisters. Their father, a small-plane pilot, was flying his family over the Montana forests when the plane crashed near the Big River. The girls' parents were both killed in the crash, but the two children survived. Betty stayed in the plane, and was rescued a few hours later.
In the shock of the plane crash, Betty and Patty forgot all about each other.
Eventually, Betty was adopted by a family living in the Chicago area, hundreds of miles from her twin sister.
