GARRITY, Judge.

This matter involves a custodial contest between the divorced natural father of two teenagers and their adult half-brother who was asked by his mother, who is now deceased, to be the guardian of her minor children. The Circuit Court for Prince George's County found exceptional circumstances to exist and, in the best interest of the children, awarded custody to their sibling. We shall not disturb the chancellor's ruling.
