A lot of wonderful memories.

Back in the early sixties, my sister who is 9 years old than me used to go there after work with her girlfriends and she always brought home the little umbrellas and swizzle stick for me. I graduated high school in 1969 and we went there after our dance. Of course we were under age but they let us in but we couldnt order alcoholic drinks. Oh how excited I was when I walked in to the place that I had heard so much about as a little girl. Lovely memories!

I just read your story about the Kon-Tiki in Montreal. I used to go there often in the early 1960s with the girls for drinks and entertainment. Had entirely forgotten about it until now. What memories you have brought back for me. Can’t believe it! Your mother and I were going there around the same time. And yes, I too collected the swizzle sticks and kept a collection in a jar.

I am an amateur genealogist presently doing my family history. No connections to francophones, except for a special place in my heart, so am also interested in their genealogy. I came across your website while searching for a Lise Theriault from Quebec City with whom I worked at CIBC in St. Roch in the early 1960s. She may have been born 1930-1940 in Quebec City. Can’t remember her father’s name, he was a local lawyer. I would love to track her down and have a coffee and talk about old times in Quebec. If anyone knows of her whereabouts, please, please contact me. I would be overwhelmed with joy!!!

Thanks so much for the memories,

Elizabeth

Glad you stopped by to check on my first Postcard Friendship Friday contribution. I’ve got to go looking for that 2nd Texas postcard you said was out there today. I haven’t finished looking at all the submissions yet.

I love your Kon-Tiki postcard. My in-laws loved the one in Orlando. They lived there in the winter and Nashville in the spring and summer back in the 60s and 70s. They sure liked their fruit drinks, too!
