Janet McCowan was my neighbour and friend. She lived right across the street, McCowan Road. I remember her as a very down-to-earth type of person who was always kind and always there to help people, if needed. While she was one of the "girls", she liked to be the leader in any group situation. We enjoyed just hanging out and playing hide and go-seek and spud. In high school, she was my senior and someone that I often talked to about volleyball, a game we both loved. Janet was also a great pitcher on the baseball team that myself and my sister Norma were on. This team was run by Mr. Cook, whose family lived behind us. This time, as team-mates, is my most memorable. We shared a lot of laughs together and probably some tears. Janet was competitive but always considerate of others. In later years, our paths crossed again in Whitby. I remember our conversation being as comfortable as ever, even though years had passed. I will always remember her with a smile. Thanks for all the good times!
Your friend, Ruth Reynolds (Sturley)
