ONE OF TWO SURVIVING SISTERS RETURNS TO CHILDHOOD HOME

-

Surrounded by children, one of the two surviving Dionne quintuplet­s walked through the door of the house she was born in for the first time in decades. During a ceremony Sunday in North Bay, Ont., a plaque was unveiled to commemorat­e the national historic significan­ce of the birth of the quintuplet­s. Annette Dionne says she was honoured to attend the ceremony. The Dionnes became internatio­nal sensations in 1934 as they were the only known quintuplet­s at the time to survive for more than a few days.
