I read on another forum that Rachel Colombini was at Blackpool. Supposed to have talked to Paul Gordon. Even had a photo of them together. I saw her name in Dustin's list of those who passed in 2017.
Anyone know what's going on

Re: Rachel Colombini
She's most definitely not dead. I spoke with several people who saw her, and I saw the photograph firsthand.

Re: Rachel Colombini
I'd sure like to know for sure.
Scott Wells based his report on news from the Ulster Magic Society. See the Genii Forum thread from last year here:
viewtopic.php?t=50015
And then there is this that has a photo from Paul Gordon on it:

Sure looks like her. I just cannot verify when the photo was taken, and Paul was one of the people who said she had died!

Re: Rachel Colombini
I am sincerely sorry for my part in misreporting her death. I have never been so happy to have been so wrong.

I spent some time with Rachel - it's definitely her (she remembered some details from a conversation we had at one of Aldo's lectures years ago).

I, too, am very sorry for reporting her demise. But it was based on unrefuted testimony from those whom I thought should know best. I am so glad to read that she is “on the right side of the lawn.”

Re: Rachel Colombini
Re Rachel: I originally posted that she'd died because that's what I was told by a "reliable" source. But, she DID turn up at Blackpool and there's a pic of me with her at The Winter Gardens. We chatted for hours because I've known her for 30 years and Aldo for longer. She's not well and has had a VERY stressful few years. She wasn't hiding away at Blackpool and she chatted with lots of old friends. It was a heck of a surprise when she came up to me whilst I was demming...happy and sad all at the same time. Cheers, Paul Gordon
