It is definitely LYN. The Y is weird, almost backwards, and the N is written like a child might write it, also backwards. Forgot about the coins, as they really do look like and feel like plastic coins and are all the same. I will get some pics of them up too.

I've been on the go since 6 AM after going to sleep at 1, so fatigure is setting in, especially with adrenaline wearing down...lol

What I'm getting off this is, the Man had both boys isolated from their families - one way or another, always with violence - because, as Vincent said, he doesn't share. He was on them before the fire.

I'll call my dad here in an hour when he gets off work and I'll post what he has to say about the cards/coins and I'll just tack my notes onto the play.

The other issue is this: This is our treasure, not the Centralia kids'. They would never have gone out to Memory Town to retrieve medical documentation about themselves and a bunch of cards. What might have waited for them there, if anything?

Transcript (December 12, 1971)

"I'm sorry to bother you again, Doctor. I wouldn't want to worry you, but they said I had to talk to you because of my screaming. Yeah, when we were sleeping Vinnie and Stephie tried to help me when I woke up, but the others weren't happy. They were all yelling and cursing at us. Evan eventually woke up too. They called us all bad names, Doctor. - - Oh, the dream? Yeah, it was about Mommy and Ellie again- - Okay, Doctor. Oh, yeah. Daddy was there too. I remember going to his funeral, Doctor; why was he in my dream? I have a little rose blossom from his funeral wreath. It's in my old room. - - (His family's house was lost in the town fires, he obviously doesn't recall or blocks it out.) Never mind. Yes, the dream. You probably remember how it goes. It was last Christmas, again, and we were sitting in the living room. Ellie's only...or was, only a few years old than me. I wanted to be just like her, Doctor. She was smart. She was going to college one day. (I mentioned a few possible fields she may have wanted to go into.) No, I don't think she wanted to be a nurse. I don't really remember. She was good at everything in school. She was writing something in her diary that Grandma sent her for the holidays. No, Grandma wasn't there. She lived far away so she mailed us our gifts every year. She was awesome though, Doctor. She sent me a little red truck. I was picking up deliveries near the fireplace and the bed popped off. I was trying to click it back together when I head the kitchen door open. Mom stood up, she was sitting with Ellie, looking at her writing. They were smiling and Ellie was describing something. Mom wasn't smiling anymore. She goes away from us. In the kitchen, I hear this horribly loud BANG. Something fell to the floor. Daddy comes into the living room and looks at the Christmas tree, and then at me and Ellie. He's smiling. He's just been hunting, because he has his shotgun and is covered in the chunks of some dead animal. (The blood of his mother, Roberta.) He tells us "Merry Christmas, lovies," and puts the barrel of his gun to the back of Ellie's head. Before she can say anything he pulls the trigger. He walks over to me and kneels down to my face. He clicks the back of the truck back together and hands it to me. "I love you, Jeffery," He whispers and kisses my forehead. I take the truck back and place it on the ledge of the fireplace. "Daddy... why did you do that to Ellie?" I pointed to the hole in Ellie's face. Daddy walked over to the Christmas tree and toughed my favorite ornament, a little toy soldier he and I made over the summer. He taught me how to carve figures with his old knife and I was excited

(I shall finish soon)

So we have a vague background on Jeff, Steph, and Vinnie. Evan, however, is not quite there. We know his mother called him "HABIT", and the multiple personalities, and even what happened when he got to Fairmount with the nurse, rabbits, etc. But we don't actually know what happened with he and his family before he got there.
Pointing out the obvious there, but it's so deliberately enticing.
Also, let's not forget way back in the first morse code video I believe, Vinnie mentions (on the subject of break-ins, etc) that Evan's had this happen before. I don't recall that ever being explained.
