Whatever happened to Glenn Miller's wife and two children?

[andy hughes]

The tragedy of the loss of Glenn Miller, whose light plane vanished over the English Channel just before Christmas 1944 was a terrible blow to millions of fans of his music. Miller left behind his wife Helen, and two children, Stevie whom the couple adopted in 1942, and Jonnie, whom they adopted late in 1944, and whom Miller never saw before his death. Helen Miller died in 1966, and their two children, who have no recollection of their famous father, have pursued lives outside music, and away from the spotlight.
