In 1967 Jackie (Richards) was
approached by drummer Bonnie Peters,
guitarist Marion Pawlowski, and bass
player Sandy Walker to form an all-girl
group, The Suffragettes. The group played
the community club circuit as well as a
fashion show at The Bay’s Paddlewheel
restaurant.
A year later, Pawlowski and Walker left to
attend university and the band folded
after filling commitments with two guys,
Gerry Gacek and Wesley Doll, in the band.
