Thanks, skeet-man. Very timely the NY Times 1979 article on Miss Hudson and the Backstrand connection and later nuptials in 1980. The groom's education and background recall to mind the character played by Dan Aykroyd (against that of Eddie Murphy) in that great movie "Trading Places". And along that line of thought, my current wife Mae (ne- accent grave please)Bontrager also hails from Grosse Pointe, and attending the same schools as did Miss Jean Hudson, all be it ten years earlier that Miss Hudson did--small world indeed, n'ces pas, mon ami?? Le Reynard!!
