Paul Foster e-mail to Sarah Peeling dated July 28, 2010
Dear Sarah: What a nice letter - thank you very much. It's really exciting when you make these sort of contacts.
To answer your letter - I see you are engaged to a Brit and perhaps you may honeymoon in Barbados. I was the first manager of the Barbados Tourist Board (1959-1965) so I know the island rather well, but regret I no longer have any intimate knowledge about our hotels. Have you got as far as looking at places to stay? Please keep us advised.
If you scan me the pictures your mother thinks maybe me as a child I will identify them. Mrs. Bob - Mary Parravicino (this is the correct spelling - it is an Italian name) and my mother were close friends. She is t he same Mrs. Parravicino to which you have referred. I think Mary P is in some of the pictures as the ones I have of Vera. The picture of Aunt Alice is just as I remember her. I am going to try and find a picture of Bill Goggin (Vera's son) taken at the same age as your Uncle David. There is a remarkable resemblance. |
