Here are today's families!
Johnny & Ronnie Roberts are identical twin brothers. They are from Palmdale, CA. They're both engaged (to different women). Johnny's the father of Lorena, who attends Howard University. His fiancée is Edwina Looper. He's an electrician at a university and medical center in Los Angles. Ronnie's daughter, Charmaine, also attends Howard University. Ronnie is a middle school teacher and also helps at that university/medical center. It helps that he's an alumnus. Johnny claims to sing like Al Green, while Ronnie can sing like James Brown.
Kris & Karen Carr are the only sister one another from Downers Grove,
Dina & Esti Goldstein are a mother/daughter from Los Angeles, CA. Dina has a daughter, Deborah, and is married to her husband, Marie. 15 years ago, she made a pledge to Esti that Dina would bring Esti to Wheel, and that's a kept promise! Esti is a senior at UCLA studying accounting. She does some tutoring and works at a real estate company.
There's a MEADE gift tag out on the wheel to start.
