Happy Birthday

What year and month is this picture? By the way I'm confusing myself. . .was Mark 15 the summer of '65 or '66?

i was born in 1950, so in 1965 i turned 15.
Who can name everyone at this party?

Here goes: it was our 13th (as I recall) birthday. It was quite memorable because Mom and Dad surprised us. I went to Cindy's (preplanned) while Mom put the finishing touches on the party. To my left, Cindy Eng, Sue Myklebust, Craig Cato, Dean, -----, Steve Eng and Wendy Gatlin. I missed one. I remember it was a fun surprise but then the next day, May 10, 1967, it snowed. I remember thinking it was terrible to have snow on my birthday. I was so selfish. (Hey, Dean, challenge me as to whether we were 12 or 13 )

I'm guessing it was 1966 and we were 12. My Soap Box car must be downstairs. I guess you'd have to compare this smile with the one from my Soap Box victory smile...

Remember those plastic glasses? Does someone still have that China dog in the background? And the fruit bowl? And the plastic fruit?

Dean, wasn't Mike from next door on Halsey St? I can't remember him. We have the dog from the buffet and the fruit. We did not take the glass bowl that I think used to be called a brandy snifter (or something like that).I saw some of the Eng boys a few years ago at a surprise birthday party for Cindy Eng-Anderson. Steve took over his Dad's business, State FArm Insurance in Duluth.
