Brothers united in US after 16-year separation

TWO Irish brothers have been reunited in the US after 16 years but a Cork woman’s dreams of meeting her American first cousin for the first time were dashed.

They were just two of the stories from the 38 National Lottery gameshow winners who have returned after a week in New York.

Trevor Thompson, 36, and his building contractor brother Norman, 41, who emigrated to the States 18 years ago had an emotional reunion in Washington. “We had kept in touch but missed each other every time I had been in the States,” said Trevor.
