"It's of my little sister's birthday. I emailed her a copy to ask for the names. "

Maybe this might jog your little sister's memory. These are the names I remember: Anne Arsenault (who lived two houses away from me with McCarty's in between), Nancy Turner (lived up the hill past me), Carol & Edgar Comeau (just past the Proud Road by the lake where we used to skate and go sliding), Darlene (DeeDee) Buck and Brenda Davis (between Goldsworthy and Cottage Rds.) , Vincent Ezerskis (on the top of the other hill by me, heading closer to you), Teela Hope (a black girl from a large family who lived just before Proud Road), Joey Brothers (Proud Road), Danny Hawboldt (Goldsworthy Rd.), Linda Stevens (from another large black family somewhere between Goldsworthy and Cottage) and Andy and Joey Visser (all the girls loved these blond, blue-eyed twins who lived on the Goldsworthy Road. We used to spy in their windows and make them chase us around their house. Once I was lucky enough to get caught by Joey and get a kiss! I was heartbroken when they moved away in grade 5.) What is your little sister's name? ( Sensitive-that's her, headband, center)
