"Arlene Landis is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania where the family
frequently supported Landis in Philadelphia's USPRO Championships. "We
used to go and watch the race in Philadelphia every year but when
Floyd out-grew that race we stopped going there."

I think you're being a bit hard on her. She's a Lancaster Mennonite. As
such, she's by definition little above clueless as to matters of the
"outside" world. I recall a story about Landis several years ago that noted
that his family strenuously opposed his taking up bicycle racing. It took
her a long time to begin following Floyd because she had never watched TV
before. So it sounds like she's in the process of being corrupted by the
modern world. And you've got to admit that Floyd's two sisters are kind of
cute in a Mennonite sort of way, eh?

I have _never_ seen a family who featured each other so
closely.

At least the kids have no doubts about who there parents are. :-) They all
seem like good people from what I've read about them.

A far better picture:

The Jacksons? I mean, back when they were pretty much natural.
