 LAKE STEVENS — A woman was reunited with her son after 50 years.
And it was all because of a kind person who did the research to reconnect them, and a chance encounter.
Her son works for the military and took a ride with a colleague to a conference. During the trip, they chatted about family and he mentioned that he was adopted out as an infant and didn’t know his mother. His colleague is into genealogy, and took the time to track her down.
Betty Rohner gave up her son 50 years ago when she was 18. The two finally met again two weeks ago and were inseparable.
