No, I don't think so. It seems Doreen's parents are Horace L (Leonard?) Spooner and Ada E Tribe whilst Dennis' parents are Thomas G Spooner and Lily F Brinkley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most used one was taken by AP Jeff Widener. Stuart Franklin and Charlie Cole were on the same balcony. Cole was able to retrieve the roll of film with the photos though the Chinese government (then led by late Comrade Li Peng) forced him to destroy other two rolls. There is also video footage of the event by ABC cameraman Willie Phua. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
