  If she looked 23 instead of 32 or 22 instead of 42, we can blame it on our own age :O)

  Interesting story. Maybe, as Stephane Grapelli said, 'he didn't own a watch', maybe Ms. Jayat didn't own a watch or calendar.

  Indeed David was still young, although within the context of this discussion 15 may be considered adult enough in the gypsy community. But that is why I suggested "contact David (Reinhardt) to ask if he remembers his father ever mentioning Sandra." rather than ask him for his own memories. It is often mentioned how a lot of the gypsies we read about, those related to Django and those who pass on the musical tradition, form part of a close community, and it is probable that David would have heard of or known something of Sandra who was an aunt after all.

  Ah, a bit older than I thought (still too young to lose a father of course).

  I have taken the liberty of assembling all the images I have of the (young) Sandra into a montage, below, with alternative ages based on the suggested "younger" vs "older" dates of birth, respectively (i.e. c.1939 vs 1930). Let me know which you would pick as the more likely... Regards, Tony
