“Murder in Paradise”
Talk about a stroll down memory lane… In the on-going downsizing effort, I ran across a little booklet put together by wickedly clever Gordon Schoewe after one of the Murder Mystery dinners that he and Roy Gustafson hosted in the ’80s.
Page One: Bernadette Laffite (yours truly) French-born garment manufacturer who lives in London’s West End. Lafitte has made a fortune by producing, manufacturing, selling counterfeit designer jeans. (Editor Gordon’s note: “and perhaps wearing them!?”)
Page Two: Malcolm Greeves (Nyel) Greeves has just ended a six year tour with the “Pirates of Penzance” road company. His starring role as the Pirate King afforded him the opportunity to purchase a country estate in Nottingham, England. Greeves shares the home with stacks of reviews and a parrot named Roger. (Editor Cordon’s Note: “or at least what’s left of the Parrot!”)
Page Five Sunny Bodine (Pat Thomas) Leader of the female motorcycle gang Hell’s Belles, Ms. Bodine, a Berkeley graduate, gravitated to Oakland and her present position after seven years as an advertising executive in San Francisco.
Also with starring roles were Jorge Cortes (Noel Thomas); Martin St Crow (John Campiche); Gladys Mead (Val Campiche); and Brigette Petain (Marjorie Horner.)
I remember those great Murder Mystery dinners! What fun they were. Don and I went to a few at least. Wonder how long they lasted? And where were they held? Where did my memory go???
So glad you reminded me of that, Sydney!
