Mystery Signature

xoxoxoBruce · 03-02-2020, 08:25 AM

My friend NAG up in Canada has a mystery. When the Beatles played Montreal in 1964 she was too young to go but her aunt went as an ambulance volunteer.
Backstage after the show she asked Lennon for an autograph but he brushed her off. Seeing this Ringo volunteered to sign with Paul and George following too.

But there's a fourth signature, I can't decode the first name but the last name looks like it could be O'Conner to me, but that's just a guess. Since the aunt has passed away nobody knows who signed it? I did a cursory check online to see if there was an O'Conner on the bill but couldn't find much other than French separatists threatened to kill Ringo so he had a cop with him onstage. I thought it might have been the cop, a teenage girl isn't likely to tell him no.

Anybody got a clue?

Somebody signed John Lennon’s name

I was just about to say that--it looks like someone deliberately scrawling "John Lennon" so it looked legit.

The handwriting looks very similar. No way to prove it, but I would put money on it.

Of course, I can see it now.
I had blocked that name in my head because he had refused.
I thank you all very much for solving this.
