GS - 008 - Rita Sherlock et al - August 1983

Welcome to Jerry’s Story. This is Steve Sherlock. I am the first of the 6 children Gerald and Rita Sherlock brought into this world. 

This podcast episode shares some original oral history recorded in August of 1983 by Helene Geoffroy and made available by her son Eric.  Helene was one of the younger sisters of Rita. Rita was the oldest of 10.

Helene apparently visited Rita with Mémère and recorded this conversation. Patty is also a part of the discussion. 

Mémère (Ernestine Joyal) was the mother of both Rita and Helene. Patty is the youngest of the 6 “Sherlock kids”.

Frank Moody comes in for a visit. 

Rita left us all in November 1983, Mémère in December of the same year but both voices sound vibrant in this recording.

My special thanks to cousin Eric for allowing me to share this recording and to my brother Bob for instigating the search for it.
