a scattered ancient memory

jessica
hi.

i don't have your mother's email address.

i just have a scattered memory of there being photos of me at a christmas party at the prime minister's office. it was brian mulroney that was prime minister, so it would have been the late 80s or early 90s. it had something to do with your mother's work.

i was just a kid; the memory is very fuzzy.

...but i think it would be interesting to track that picture down, if it still exists.

why don't you try the surviving uncle? 

jessica
i really wouldn't expect he'd have those photos....

it'd be kind of weird if he did, i think.

Your right it would be weird but possible , apparently in 1996 or 97 when my mother moved to Victoria she gave all her children their own photos baby photos and all. so that would mean your dad was given his. so when he passed away ,I recall being given some photos of your dad from your stepmother and I was given photos to give to the surviving uncle

well, i'll give it a shot...
