7. Yes, it was definitely Lum's (and IT WAS indeed a hot dog store)

It had a location in the old Mountaineer Mall, before the Morgantown Mall was ever built. Later, it got taken over by Weiner World(?). But it was definitely Lum's.

Updated with a little more info: my great-aunt and uncle say that they MET him, and think his name was Chuck or Charles. They said Mom met him at one of those religious youth retreats that were so common back then; but it was either Jewish or Mormon in nature. Both faiths DO tend to keep meticulous genealogical records, but they wouldn't be helpful if my father doesn't know that I even exist.

I would do ALL the DNA tests for fear of missing the "right" one, but we just can't afford it right now. Perhaps later.

Thank you guys for the help and comments. I feel so betrayed and alone...not a single full sibling in the world, unwanted by my own grandparents, who begged my mother to abort me. I just don't know HOW to feel anymore....
