Sometimes is so easy to find some personal information...

[Pottel]

why do people make sites for


"Dedicated to displaying lost and stolen quilts and to providing information on protecting quilts"

?

[Pottel]

is this the same ruth?

she seems to be quite the quilt maker:

Ruth Kennedy (Mark's sister) would be 65 yo now - so unless she is particularly youthful, I doubt that's the same person.

[Pottel]

hard to look on google images if you have no clue. especially as there seem to be a gazillion Ruth Kennedy's

[superval99]

The label on the quilt says RK 1972, but the person above looks too young imo to be Lulu's mother! 

[Jackal]

And she bears no resemblence to Mark and David (eyes, nose, mouth in particular).

The Ruth Kennedy above is married to Paul Dundas, also pictured and they have a small son, so although there is mention of interior design, etc, it is definitely nothing to do with MK's family!   This person looks even younger than Lulu, who would be her daughter!  

[Pottel]

mm, no,not younger then Lulu AT all. i started to like lulu :-)

[JF]

I hope I will not cause anger, talking about Ruth, as the main subject is "Lulu Kennedy" 

I just want to say that I always felt strange that Ruth isn't mentionned (even one word) in the Oldfield's book.

Of course, it's in the private domain for the Knopfler family, but when Oldfield talks about the 2 Knopfler brothers, their birthdate, their origin, he coould have wrote just a line about their sister ?

maybe Mark asked him to not write even 1 word about her ?

[Jules]

Since Lulu Kennedy is Ruth

I think it's OK to divert from the original topic, especially if there's not much to add to the original topic. If the original topic is still hot, I think we could be better at returning to it. So, when we make a digression, we should end the post with something like "sorry, back to the topic". But this also the editors' job, and I must say they have been very absent for the last year or so.

[Jules]

The thing about this topic is that we get to know more about MK family...

We have:

Ex-wife: Lourdes Salomone and their sons Joe and Ben

Wife Kitty and their daughters Isabella and Katya

Brother David, that has some kids that I dont know, and ex wife (Anna) and a girlfriend (Cant remember his name, its in facebook)

Sister Ruth, that has a daughter, Lulu.

From a logical distance, is nice to know some of this things, as it makes MK (at least for me) looks more like a real person and not just a famous musician
