My brother and his family frequently make comments about the Compton girls or the Compton sisters, referring to his three daughters.
Please. While they are lovely young women, they didn’t invent being the Compton sisters. That honor belongs to my sister and me.
But then I realized my father’s siblings were the original Compton sisters. I was lucky enough to get a photo of them together (with my sister and me) a few years ago. That’s Aunt Arlene on the left and Aunt Leona on the right.
Apologies to Uncle Roy’s daughters Denise & Erika, the only other Compton girls/sisters of our generation.
The next generation continues the Compton sisters tradition (in addition to my nieces): my cousin Bill’s daughters Jennifer & Jessica, my cousin Mike’s daughters Sarah & Nicole, and my cousin Gordon’s daughters Patience & Pearl. Also Kevin’s daughter Elaine, Pete’s daughter Rose, and Gerhart’s daughter Marisha.
Beyond that generation, I am clueless.
There are a lot of us “Compton Girls” around. We rock.
(Further apologies to anyone I missed.)
