As a newcomer of a Quo-fan I answered a couple of question from my local newspaper, but got his call the next day that I had won tickets to the Quo-concert "tomorrow"..! No one of my friends would like to go, so I rent a car to get there myself (45 kilometers from my town) and was waiting outside, in the VIP-que.. Then this woman approached me and told me that it was important to get a letter to Rick, because it was from her sister, who had a hotel in Jersey where the band had stayed the year before, and if she couldn't get in, maybe I could give it to him..??! Of course I could, I said, but it worked all fine and we all got inside, me at my seat and I don't know where she did go. But 15 min before the gig I was told to get down to the side of the stage and meet the band, so I went, and also met her again. When Rick, Francis and the others came there we stood at the end of the line, and when they came to us she told them about her story, and I was just only a random guy in between, no realtion to her, but t was so fun when Rossi looked at me... I could take a couple of photos, but no one with myself, so the next day in the news paper they reported that 3 of 4 was there.. BUT I WAS THERE TOO!! I can prove it with these photos, maybe anyone can have a clue who she was, named Barbro Larsson and her two sons, the sisters name was Berit (uor was it the other way arond?) and she had that hotel on Jersey. I have not been in contact with them since then, 24 years now..... Phots at my Drive drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C61ip5MN0NMf_0C6wbPcLDzB09EEJO4V?usp=sharing

So they thought you were part of the family Francis has always been great with kids, well he's had enough practise at home .. Must've been great to get that Meet&Greet so unexpectedly as a new fan ! Just a shame you had no one to come along and take pics in those pre-selfie days ..

I also was slow with my camera so Rossi asked me if it was mine and then "hurried" me to take the photos (as a joke), "well, come on then".. I also remember when I said "Thanks, it'a great honor to meet you" her replied, "No, thank You", which I first thought was to correct me, but later understand that he meant me as a fan being there and bying their albums (I hope anyway, ha ha).. I was staying around when they prepared for the stage and in the last second before Rossi went away I said "Happy anniversary next year", meaning 1995 was their 30th (from 1990), and got a thansk in rely again. Then I went thorugh the crowd when they already ahd started Caroline and up to my seat where I could give some autographs to the nieghbourgs beside me (they asked for it when they heard of my meeting) it was afantastic evening, and a little deaf and shaky drining home again taht night Anyone from Sweden who was there then, or maybe recognize the woman with her two sons?

Great story Most Scandinavian members are on fb these days and no longer post on a mb, so I doubt anybody on here will be able to help.
