Twice as nice: Twin sisters deliver Valentine's Day surprise

Twin MGH patients delivered a double dose of joy just in time for Valentine's Day. After sharing their birthday for 32 years, the fraternal twin sisters now have two childrenwho share the same birthday. Born two minutes apart, the sisters from East Boston gave birth at the MGH Feb.13. Marlene Forbes delivered Michael Anthony, and Michele D'Ambrosio delivered Dante Anthony. Not only was the double delivery a joyous occasion for the two families, but local TV stations and newspapers covered the good news at a press conference held on Ellison 13.
