Subject: RE: 1976 Olympics, Ron Bankley's wife
More greetings from the past. I've been looking for Estelle for decades! I came over to England in 78 on assignment photographing punk and ska and such and got stuck. Now I'm coming back to Montreal to open a gallery. So I'm catching up on line.
And lo and behold I found a connection of Estelle to Ville-Emard Blues Band. (I don't remember that from the '70s.) Then I came upon you and I knew that face! It was you and Cat who lived in the courtyard behind me on St. Urbain. Y'all had a baby and taught me to put a dollop of Brandy in coffee. Just perfect....
I hoped you might know where Estelle was and then I found that you and Estelle were married and still friends! Will wonders never cease.
I'd love to see each and every one of you once I'm back in Canada.
I'm on FB if you do that. Or Give me a phone number and I'll call.
Big hugs all around. Thanks for the memories. Tell Estelle I still travel with her going away gift a Swiss Army knife. Came in handy!!!
Big Hugs Gervaise
