28 Friday
Didn't
do anything 'till 4:45 when I walked to Lesley's, had a spaghetti
dinner, then went to the livingroom and drew. At 8:20 went to
the Dorval Shopping Center with Lesley's parents (65).
Got a 'Mickey Rat' t-shirt, went back to Lesley's. Drew the
envelope for Ralph's letter. Left at 11, rode Lesley's bike.
 [Letter
from Alan Rhodes [to
Ralph and Danielle], postmarked 4 August, 1972. The
envelope impressed me [Ralph] at the time- the back
was illustrated with a giant eye, while the front was covered
with several sketches, the largest of which was a bearded
Marc Bolan lookalike in front of a diminishing perspective
checkerboard pattern. The address (to my Uncle's in The Hague)
was enclosed in a cartoon speech balloon coming out of the
Marc Bolan figure's mouth. A note on the edge of the envelope
informed me that "T-Rex is coming Sept 8.]

Hai
Ralph and Danielle,
How
does Europe look this time of year? Is the bright sun shining
and the nice birds singing? The doctors are coming for me.
Guess
who is back in the group:
1) Brenda
Gates
2) Lesley
Astle
3) Lanore
Doy
4) Judy
Franklin
5) Robert
Rea
Circle
corret [sic] answer)
a) 1,3,5
b) 1,4 c) 1,2,3,4,5 d) 2,4
The
correct answer is D. Yeah, Lesley phoned me July 4 to see
if I had some cross she had lost, and we talked 45 mins, etc.
And Ralph, you can't say anything because I heard that you
and Dave were talking to Lesley in the library on June 2,
2 weeks after she was out (SIN!!!)
Like
the envelope? You better! It took 2 hrs. work at Lesley's.
Oh yeah. Do you remember in Now for Something Completely Different
the fag soliders [sic] marching. Well anyway,
we're doing it in a movie when you get back (Don't hurry)
Well
I can't think of anything more because it's 12:15 AM. O.K.!!!!
The
One and Only (thank God!)
A Rhodes

29 Saturday
At 12:10
Gillian came over, talked, she left at 1:20. Later got picked
up at St John's by Lesley, got to Fairview at 3. She was looking
for a coat, took 2 sets of pictures (sent one to Chris). I
bought patches 'Cannabis Sativa' [which
would later show up on my 1973 jean jacket] and
'SHIT'. Lesley got mad about something on the way home.

30 Sunday
Gillian
came over about 12:30, she left about 1/2 hour later because
she remembered she had to go to Judy Robinson's. Taped 4 songs
off T-Rex's new album [Slider] off
the radio.
July
31 Monday
About
2 Judy and Sandi Campbell came over, talked in the basement,
talked to Lesley on the phone. watched 'The Wild Wild West'.
They left at 5:30.
65. Lesley's parents: her mother was French, very outspoken
and friendly to us kids. Her father was a quiet little man with
a moustache, in fact I don't ever remember him saying anything.
In 1975 (?) her mother went for a walk to a nearby gas station
and was never seen again...
