When my nephew was in montreal last year, he took it upon himself to create a family album on a great site www.myheritage.com. He painstakingly scanned, uploaded and sorted through the photo albums my mom has. (thanks Julien!).
I was searching through it to find some pictures of uncle john b, and somehow have gotten myself stuck in a time warp!
It made me think of one of uncle john’s visits when he brought his nephew Peter along.
I don’t remember how old peter was, all i remember is we all ended up having a big ol crush on him. He was a photographer and he took some of the best pictures we have of us as kids.
It’s obvious in this picture my older sister and i are trying to entice his attention with “the look”, while my younger sister is playing hard to get.
My memories get foggier and foggier as i move into this stage of life, but i seem to recall we all got a special watch necklace from Uncle John that trip, which somehow ended up in tragedy… with jealousy as the catalyst?
I’m sure my sister would recall what the tragedy was? Though i’m often afraid to ask as my sweet as an angel memory of myself is often shattered with such recollections! Lia?
more pictures… me still trying to charm with toothy smile, two sisters taking another tactic and wowing him with their sailing prowess…

Do keep the rosy memories. I love the one of you smiling. And, I do remember the necklace, but not the tragedy associated with it. Phew! Do ask John B. about Pete. (I do remember something of him getting involved with drugs or a drug addict and having a children his parents raised, but this might be wrong and things might be different and it would be nice to know, no matter what, so please inquire.)
