I was very happy,” McGrath said. “Having been brought up an only child, to find out I had an older brother … and a brother who looks like our father.”   The families reunited in Montreal this week following a first meeting back in April that highlighted striking similarities and an immediate bond.   Elizabeth Zogalis reports.
