3 Generations of Minn. Family Share Birthday

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Three generations of Coon Rapids women are now part of a very unique club. They all share the same birthday.

Roxie Koep was born on June 1. She shares the birthday with her 29-year-old mother Rachel Koep and 56-year-old maternal grandmother Paula Ballanger.
