So, the adoption took place, Bobbie's marriage collapsed, and she went back to Pennsylvania.

and strong. Keith would now very much like to meet his birth-mother, Bobbie, and his

Was also married to a Coast Guardsman named Russell Planer of New Jersey.
Bobbie Planer, Roberta Planer, Roberta Butler, Bobbie Butler, Bobbie Richards.
We are Jerry & Judy Lentz. We knew her as Bobbie Planer in New Orleans around 27 years ago.
Although she is not a "missing person" in the technical legal sense, she has so far not been
found in spite of quite a bit of personal effort, including mailings and phone calls and internet searches.
Our efforts yielded Butch Butler who was able to give us a maiden name, home town, and name
of her daughter. I was stationed with her husband, Russell Planer, at the Coast Guard Radio Station. Judy
and Bobbie were best friends. She had a toddler son with her, Brian Keith, but it was not Russell's child.
She gave birth to Russell Planer's son while in New Orleans. We thought the son may have been
Russell Jr but have not been able to find anyone by that name in the phone directories.
When the marriage went into severe difficulty, she asked us if we knew someone who would
adopt Brian. My uncle in Panama City, FL, and his wife were looking for
another boy to adopt and raise with a boy they had already adopted.
Brenda Lee Butler. We would like to thank Warren Butler (Butch Butler)
for the assistance he has given us in providing some critical background information.
Unfortunately, Butch lost contact with her over 20 years ago.
