It’s always wonderful to have someone approach and say, “Eleanor?”
Happened last night after finishing a band concert at The Royal Henley Retirement Home in St Catharines.
She had realized I looked familiar, but seeing me with my flute brought it all back. I taught her daughter in the early 80’s!!
And it turns out our Bass Clarinet player knows the family very well.
We happily posed after the concert, in front of the Christmas tree.
Moral of the story: always say hello and find out why someone is familiar. Another friend of a friend was there as well, so we caught up on news.
Here’s the pic: me, my student’s Mom, and our Bass Clarinetist par excellence:
