Gibb Family reunites with old friends
GSI already mentioned earlier that in the weeks before Barry came to Australia with the Mythology Tour, to the area the Gibbs once lived, we received quite some mails from old friends of the family who’d love to get a chance to say hello and reunite again. In several cases we indeed succeeded in bringing old friends together during Barry’s stay in Australia. We already reported about Samantha Sang who saw Barry again after she’d worked with him so many years ago. Mythology Tour
We were also able to connect mother Barbara Gibb again with a friend of her from the times she and her family had just arrived in Australia from Britain. The Longuet Family lived in Redcliffe and were neighbours of the Gibbs and mother Longuet was a friend of Barbara Gibb.
Dave Longuet mailed me and asked if I could help:
We are still residents of Redcliffe and we are going to the ceremony tomorrow. I was hoping that I could reunite two old friends Barbara and my mum Beryl, probably for the last time. My mother is 80 and we all know Barbara is 94. I was hoping that you could get a message to Barbara that Beryl Longuet will be there tomorrow and she’d be delighted to say hello to her old friend. Of course mum knows nothing of my or my sisters efforts to reunite them to avoid disappointment if this does not occur. I hope you can help me reunite these old friends at such short notice.
Marion/ GSI: I was so happy that this reunion succeeded at such short notice!
