Do you remember the names of the characters in the primers/readers when you first learned to read?

When you first learned to read, who were the characters in the primer?

Were they Dick, Jane, and their dog Spot?

Or were they Mary, Mike, and Jeff—with a dog named Bolo and a cat named Velvet?

Did you have Pat and Cathy and an English Sheepdog (the star of the series, really) named Mr. Mugs?

or were they Janet and Mark (who also had a dog and cat, but no one I know remembers their names).

What do you remember about the primers?

Discussion about gender stereotypes and other stereotyping welcome, but I hope some positive things will be discussed also.
