(Aug. 4) - Two brothers separated as infants have been reunited after 70 years -– thanks to Facebook.
John Mellinger, of Spokane, Wash., had known since boyhood that he was adopted. When he was in his 40s, he tried to trace his birth parents. He was able to track down an aunt -- who told him that he had a brother. But then his search stalled.
