We have three daughters, 5'9", 5'10", and 6' tall.  They all married tall 
men.  The six-footer married a man who may be just a tiny bit shorter, but 
not much.  My husband and I are (were) 5'9+" and 5'6 1/2" respectively.  Go 
figure...
The daughter who is 5'10" is married to a man just over 6', and their 
daughter is fretting because at 17 she is only 5'5" and wants to be taller. 
The 13 year old grandson is 5'8" and growing like a weed, and two other 
granddaughters are not yet unusually tall but if they grow into their feet, 
they will be.  Aren't genetics interesting?
