“Murder in Paradise”

Bernadette Laffite

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!?”)

Malcolm Greeves

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!”)

Sunny Bodine

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!
