Since that time they have been affectionately known as the gang of four.         Melissa Gail Levine was born in January of 1957 in Ohio. She was the third child of Herman and Shirley Levine but grew up in Albuquerque, NM as her family moved there shortly after she was born. Missy, which is what we always called her, graduated from high school in Albuquerque and went on to college at the University of New Mexico where she studied nursing.

They have two children, Denise and Josh. Denise is the first great grandchild of Til
