Mark Miller (far right) of Atlanta, Ga., and Terri Winefordner (second from left) of Orlando, Fla., are brother and sister who haven’t seen each other in a year, on account of the COVID pandemic. Mark and his two daughters, also pictured, met Winefordner on Feb. 6 at the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts—the halfway point between them.
