Hi, i am the eldest daughter of Veronica Foster. My brother isolated part of a CBC documentary, Love Hate and Propaganda about my mother Ronnie the Bren Girl. Here is the link wich includes additional information on my mother after the Ronnie years. My mother became a widow at 41 years old with 5 children. She was a successful realtor for all the years after my father’s death… A business dominated at the time by men. She did it with grace, panache and supported us very well.
