Lightfoot Photos
Okay, here’s the story. In our pre-Corfid days I found myself corresponding with a fellow from California by the name of Tom Rowley. Over several years he and I exchanged photos, clippings and music pertaining to Lightfoot but others as well. I was delighted to have an opportunity to personally meet Tom while I was visiting Orange County a number of years ago. When parting he presented me with a couple of black & white photos of Gord.
The story as I recall was that a good friend of Tom’s had taken these photos of Gord some years before while he was performing at some outdoor California venue. Sadly, his friend developed a brain tumour/cancer/ailment which eventually took his life.
Although I’ve shared these photos with a select few, I haven’t passed them onto the group earlier as I kind of felt that they weren’t mine to share. Regretfully, I’ve lost touch with Tom and have never seen him post on Corfid, so I’ve not been able to obtain his permission to share with others.
Perhaps Gord’s 70th is the time to pass these along for all to enjoy. If anyone knows of Tom’s whereabouts, I would love to say hello once again. If I’ve overstepped myself by sharing these with Corfid, I hope he can forgive me. They’re just too nice to keep to myself. Enjoy!
Happy 70th Gord!
