My daughter is 5 ft. 4 inches and the father of the kids is only about 5 foot ten inches tall. My wife has a brother who is well over six feet, about 6'6" if I remember. Two of my fathers brothers were over six feet. I'm 5'7" now, shrunk down from 5"8" and Miz Anne is 5'6" and we have a son who is about 6 feet tall or maybe a couple inches over. Go figure on the big kids. Must be nutrition or something. George
