I’m from Saskatoon, but have lived in Vancouver since 1998. On visits home, I love to browse through old photos that my mom has kept over the years. Sometime after a trip a few years ago, I learned about Foncie and his street work. It got me thinking of an old, somewhat damaged photo in the collection of my dad, Robert Kenny, walking down the street. I recall learning that one of the signs that it was a Foncie was that there would be some writing on the back that would confirm it. I called my mom to ask her to have a look on the back, and there it was. We estimate that the photo was taken on Granville Street sometime in the mid-50s. I was able to copy it and fix the damaged areas to somewhat restore it. Dad’s on the left, but mom was not able to recall who his friend was. It was taken during a visit to the city – which I now call home!
