Rita Sherlock et al - August 1983 (audio)

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 Helen Geoffroy and made available by her son Eric.  Helen was one of the younger sisters of Rita. Rita was the oldest of 10.

Helen 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.

Updating audio archives

Yes, the audio archives have been broken for a bit. I had moved to a new audio provider and forgot to include this site in the migration. It will take a bit but we'll get all the audio back available for listening over the next couple of weeks.

If you find one in the meantime, let me know and I'll make sure to put that in the queue sooner than later.

The audio files will also be available via your favorite podcast app. I'll update this as soon as that is ready.

In the meantime (it does take some time for the feeds to be approved and filter through the various systems) you can find all the episodes as they are published here -> https://jerry-sherlocks-story.captivate.fm/
