First, I am very sorry for your loss. I am the daughter of Leonard Rutledge, Lenno's twin. I am hoping to find survivors of the Rutledge family who can identify photos or have some that indicate who is who. My Daddy died of cancer in 96. I was too young to be thinking about all the photos. Please contact me, if you or someone in the family can help. Again my sincerest condolences. [email protected]
