Hi! Barbara - I don't know how I missed your enquiry so long ago, but I only became aware of it today, thanks to my cousin Terry Mogis.
YES, David was my step-brother but our Dad did not die in a diving bell accident, though he was very seriously injured. He died in Sydney the year after we arrived (arrived 1966 from the UK, he died July 1967).
We only met David towards the end of his life - we never knew he existed until 1961 or so, when my Dad finally told us we had a brother. Dave visited us in California quite a few times, and worked with our Dad in the Mediterranean on an oil rig. We were living in Malta when David died. There have so many half-truths told, it's hard sometimes to piece together the whole story.
A few years ago, my aunt Margaret told me that she destroyed all of David's papers, photos, etc that she had because she didn't know where to find us. I think another cousin's wife did the same. I'd love to see your photos if you still have copies... I found some references to David's high school years in various Nevada newspapers and have saved them.
If you receive this over the next few days and reply, I won't see it till after the 23rd March when we return from Sydney. My husband, Peter, is undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. Prognosis is good, but recuperation will be lengthy.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
..........Jann Gallen [nee Mogis]
