McMains, age 57, wife Geraldine B. McMains, age 56, Pasadena, CA. James W. McMains, age 57, wife Jennie P. McMains, age 60, Pasadena, CA. (Also, shown in Duarte,CA.) Being that most of the information on these pay for information sites is generally out dated by 1 to 2 years, they would be about age 58-60 now. Appears these would be Bootsie's twin brothers.

McMains and lives in Pasadena, CA area. He also has a music studio there and runs an on-line rare sheet music shop. You can read about him by <a href="http://www.rescuerecords.net/artistinfo.asp?ArtistID=%7B5B448DE5-1BB3-4BDB-9C8B-C42CC0E07D27%7D" rel="nofollow">CLICK HERE</a> to view the Rescue Records web site article about him. You might try calling Rescue Records at the phone number on the site as it is a Pasadena, CA phone number - might be his studio even. They may be able to get a message to him to contact you. He was born just a few days/weeks before the McMains family departed Washington DC for Viet-nam. So, he was just a 'baby' when the McMains family lived in Saigon. I would estimate him to be around age 52 now. James and Steven McMains were 'twin brothers'. They attended ACS and were in the 3rd Grade for the 1959/60 school year. I would estimate them to be around age 58 to 60 now. Rock ONNNN .... Saigon Kid ... Bob Glenn – Mick is in fact Michael M. McMains and lives in Pasadena, CA area.

Mc.Mains and resides in Pasadena, California and has a brother James Mc Mains both of which are about the same age of 52. It fits, but I'm having trouble with unlisted numbers and addresses, etc. Maybe your super search network can help. Thanx, Glenn Bootsie’s brother , Mick , is, I believe, Michael M.

Perhaps she will have some luck for us. Will let you know if I hear anything of importance..she loves a challenge, lives in Alaska and has time for hunting ancestors. Maybe she can find Bootsie, too, in her searches. Enjoy your day. Suellen Am sending Bootsie’s info to a friend who has access to many websites. Perhaps she will have some luck for us.

He was active in Scouts and hopefully will enjoy the website, too. He lives in Beaumont, TX. Thank you for your e-mail tonight. I look forward to becoming more proficient with my computer skills, with your advice. And sharing some Saigon memories of the 1958-60 era. Thank you, Bob.

I am thrilled to have been found, and am amazed at the lengths you all went through to find me. Thank you so much. After reading the search letters, I am amazed that Osama Bin Laden is still at large. The US govt. should put you on the trail and I believe he will be in our sites by next week, at the latest!! Sorry not to have more Bootsie info for you. We lost touch right after returning stateside. Last letter was from the FL. panhandle area, I think, but don't hold me to that. She did have 2 twin half brothers(from her Mom and step dad) and they were 8 at the time we were over there. Dad was with USIS. Is there any info on Janet Bogardus? we were good friends, too, and I wondered what became of her. Again, thank you for searching and not giving up. I am so excited about your web site and all the info about beloved Saigon. Such wonderful memories and friendships of days' past. My best to all. Suellen Second attempt here.

She lost contact quite awhile ago with Bootsie, and Bootsie was in Florida. I have asked Suellen if she rememberd Bootsie's exact name at that time, and I am awaiting a reply. The Bootsie quest continues. Maybe, the musician brother can help us. Am crossing my fingers! Thanx for all of your help! If anyone has info, feel free to contact me at my E-Mail address.
