Ashtenfelter, Amy

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Amy Ashtenfelter is the younger daughter of Bob and Linda Ashtenfelter.^SQ04 She has an older sister Marsha. While the Ashtenfelters are from Camden, the family is a member of West Turtle Lake Club and have a cottage near the Evachevskis.^BAR33

Amy was the girl friend of Josh Archer during the summer of 1987 while her sister dated Josh's best friend, Danny Evachevski. Their first double date was cut short by an accident that had the kids saving the lives of Ed Sloat and his wife Jill.^BAR42 The incident tied the two couples together.

While the foursome continued their double dating the summer of 1988, the dynamics had changed. Both Marsha and Amy knew they were expected to follow in their father's footsteps and go to Athens University^BAR58 and Danny expected to follow, but Josh decided to remain home in Spearfish Lake to become a railroad engineer. Although Amy was the one that dumped Josh, the sisters always considered it Josh's fault.^FtS38 The Ashtenfelter sisters spent the summer of 1990 in Europe, paid for by their gradnfather.^RM01 Although never said, it is likely that Amy graduated from Athens University.

Josh's initial impression was extremely positive, "Just then, a vision of loveliness got out of the back seat of a car, and walked into the Frostee Freeze. She was only in view for a few seconds, but in those seconds, Josh was able to note that she was wearing very short shorts, a bikini top, had a hell of a tan, and long blonde hair down to her cute little butt."^BAR33 Josh's sister-in-law, Candice Archer, described her as "She had a great body and didn't care who knew it."^FtS30

The Ashtenfelter family are strict vegetarians,^BAR33 although after the dramatic rescue of Ed Sloat, both sisters craved a hamburger as a reward.^BAR42 The family was known to take vacations at a nudist resort in Florida. It is thought the girls' grandfather has a cottage there.^BAR104
