In frustration I contacted Ralph, but he was unable to uncover my original password, so re-registred me. For some reason my name was mis-spelt and an "e" got added in. Ralph joked at the time that becoming a "new" member, I became "rejuvenated" as I was no longer a "senior" member. As you can see with lots of comments under my belt, I have now rejoined that special status. LOL! I yap all all over the net, using R. Mark Desjardins. For those who curious, the "R." stands for Richard, my given birth name, which I don't care for that much. Mark is my preferred middle name. My youngest brother is named Marc and the "R." is to differentiate us. Long story involved there, but my dear late mom had no trouble! To set the record straight, The Supremes with Diana, Mary & Flo played the Cave in 1966. Diana Ross & The Supremes appeared there in 1968. I can't be sure about a 1967 booking, but the women did appear at Expo '67 in Montreal where I saw two off their six performances. Sadly I missed them in Ottawa during August of 1968, but I have posted articles from the local papers from that time and the political questions they were asked.
