WITH reference to the article dated February 3 by Marion Ainge, regarding the long lost sister, I quote: "Mother had a love affair."

Mother did not have a love affair, she committed adultery and, worse than that, her husband was overseas in the Royal Navy.

Why try to "sell" this story as romantic when this kind of behaviour caused untold hurt and misery?
