……………………”Thinking of Elena…….Elena Elstrom was a very dear friend of Jac’s….who became a dear friend of mine…….She was a Swedish model who Jac met in Europe. When Elena moved to the states they became very close, and worked a lot in the same shows…Many times they were paired together on the runway, because of their similar look….blond hair, tall and willowy….they just worked well together…..Elena LOVED GREECE and the dark haired handsome men….Opposites do attract! She and Jac traveled all over Greece together. This was before Jac and I were a couple……On one of these trips through the Pelopnnese, the southern peninsular of Greece, they were traveling in a van with a group of four musicians that were Elena’s friends. They made stops along the way where the band played in tavernas……At one of these tavernas a young man tried to pick Jac up, but she had her mind on someone else…..me…….so she introduced Elena to Angelo. They hit it off immediately, and not long after that got married…..Eventually, when Jac and I got together, we made many trips to Greece to visit Elena and Angelo. They had a son….Yanni…..Angelo and I became good friends……This picture was taken, by Angelo on the island of Mykonos….way before it became the “party island” it is now! There were only 3 small simple hotels!!…..We were out to dinner and Elena is selecting live crabs for our meal………..Those trips were the best of times!…….Elena, Angelo and I are still close, but Jac is terribly missed.
