Subject: FZ Secretary speaks... (new article)
A friend at the local BBC website just posted his interview with a
woman who he knows from local amateur dramatics... how peculiar it
turns out she also happened to work for Frank one time...  it's not a
big interview but nice to know that there are interesting people
around every corner, even in the boring home town...

Cheerio,
Ashley.

She appears as Pauline Butcher on TRFZB, p. 102, and also pictured on
the UM booklet (I think she's the girl using the doll foot).

On that same page, FZ remembers the gun incident differently than
Pauline, with Wildman Fischer as another victim and "The Raven" as the
perpetrator.

She's also in the photo on p.131 of Walley's No Commercial Potential

I'd never seen that photo of Pauline with the Mothers. But there was
another photo taken at the same session, of a different woman (Miss
Janet, perhaps) standing amidst the seated MOI. This photo appeared in
the Georgia Straight (9/16/70), advertising a concert featuring a rather
different line-up of Mothers.

Yes, Miss Janet. You can see it here:

I think that picture also appeared on the original BWS insert, is that
right?

Thanks. The jpg looks much better than my photocopy from microfilm of a
newspaper, in which, moreover, the photo is severely cropped.

Also, in the newspaper photo, Roy's whole head and some of Motorhead's
hair is blocked by the shoulder and arm of a standing person. I can't
detect any differences elsewhere in the photo. Maybe the two photos were
taken a split-second apart, before and after the guy got out of the way.
Maybe the arm was collaged in, but I can't imagine why. (Of course, I
also can't imagine why an alternate photo with the arm would be
distributed for publicity purposes.)

If so, with or without the obscuring arm?

Maybe FZ and Pauline are referring to different incidents.

It occures there with the "obscuring" arm, which belongs to Don Preston
wearing his Army/Navy or whatever-Uniform. The Foto of Don is
"collaged-in" on the Insert.
On the right of the woman's head (Miss Janet?) there is written:

GABBY FURGGY
sings "Dit-Dit-Doo-Way-Doo"
on WPLJ, (tune one on side A).

Ah. And the newspaper ad is taken from the BWS insert. That makes much
more sense.

It's Miss Janet who sings on WPLJ.

gabby = talkative
