Meet the Fairbairns from Grays Harbor County, Washington.

On June 8, 1952 Albert (Bert) Fairbairn married Ina Dahlstrom. Nine months later they were blessed with little Shelley. She was followed by Chuck, Ryan, Bonnie, Tim and Janet (Boo). Long before The Brady Bunch, Bert and Ina had created their own version of the show. A life-long collection of three brothers and three sisters that was eventful as any episode of The Brady Bunch on any given day. Bert and Ina were married for 49 years before Bert waged a courageous, ill-fated battle against cancer - an insidious disease that strikes without warning and without any regard for race, age or gender. Medical science is making remarkable progress in the fight against this killer. But you must help in this life-or-death struggle. Your single best chance is to identify it in the earliest possible stage. The Fairbairn Bunch joins The American Cancer Society in urging you to get regular check-ups. Early cancer detection can save your life.
