Raul – you did see Laura Kay Prophet in the summer of ’85 because I was there too (homeless at the time)… I am Laura’s friend and have kept copies of the schedule of Harvey’s upcoming performances.

In fact, since I was recovering and when Harvey passed away, I had access to a vehicle and brought Laura Kay and Harvey to the place where he was taxidermied.

She is a wonderful lady and one I am proud to have called friend. I am happy to see that she is doing so well – since 25 years in the streets usually take their toll a long time ago.

I would not be surprised if Harvey could grant wishes!

I remember
Laura Kay Prophet and her magic duck Harvey
in the summer of 1985 when the city was preparing
for Expo 86. She lived downtown and used to give
out schedules for upcoming appearances, with Harvey
then, at schools, radio and T.V. programs. Now her
duck is Bobbi and I’m sure has magical qualities.
Harvey could apparently say his name and could grant wishes.

I saw her about 10 years ago. Just wrote about it in a post:

I have always wanted a pet goat! I wonder if those are allowed in the city? That’s gotta be next after chickens, right?

My wife, my friend Kyle and I saw a couple walking a full on Goat down E. 14th between Quebec and Main. It was sweet! There is also “The Pirate” which is our name for the gentleman who walks around Main Street with his parrot on his shoulder. I have to say that the track of bird poop running down the back of his shirt really takes away from the romantic image of a pirate though.

Yeah Roger… I remember that puppet guy too! As well as the dude with the harmonica who could never finish a song because he was too busy saying HI to everyone who walked by…

Robson Strasse… anyone remember that street sign?

I’ve seen the duck lady too!

In other pet news, I saw a couple at a cafe in my neighbourhood with an enormous white bunny last weekend. I’ll email you a photo!
