Seeing Double No Trouble For This Couple

Title continues:... Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Gambrell, Jr., of 623 Jefferson St., Portsmouth, were all smiles as they posed with their brood - ever increasing by two’s. The young couple - he’s 25 and she’s 22 - can boast of four sets of twins. Floyd Dee and Fred Lee, Joyce Ann and Doris Ann (foreground), Kathleen Lavera and Katherine Lavern (seated with papa), and Carol Linda and Carl Leonard, only five weeks old. The two "singles" standing back of Floyd and Fred are John Marshall and Bobby Lewis Gambrell. John Marshall, the oldest, is seven. Papa Gambrell is privately employed at the Naval Base.

Photograph appeared in the column "Colored News" in the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch and the Portsmouth Star newspaper, August 25, 1960. Part of the Lee F. Rodgers photograph collection housed in the Portsmouth Public Library.
