My Favourite Sister

Happy Birthday Debra Anne! Of course I am not gonna say Deb’s age, but she was born on this day in the small town of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. We lived there because Dad was RCAF and there was an air force base there. That was a few years back, back when people knew what RCAF was. Deb is in the picture, the one on the right. I figure I can show it because that’s what big brother’s do… play jokes on their little sister. Deb is not quite old enough to be a boomer. But not quite young enough to be Generation X. Debra is now a grown up, a teacher, a wife, a mom and a great sister. True to our air force upbringing, our family is spread to the four winds, but Deb is the one who keeps us thinking about each other. Unfortunately, she lives in southern Ontario somewhere on the fringes of the highway 401, within a whiff of Toronto ( cough, cough).
