"There were black and white people living in Mount Airy in Philadelphia and the Realtors were playing games . . . and according to sources they persuaded white people not to leave and vice versa," said Dorothy Kapenstein, a Girls High 1946 alumna and the director of the Girls High alumni club. Kapenstein researched the twins' lives and was in charge of the installation ceremony when they were inducted to the school's hall of fame in 2012.
