Hi, Dan,
No, Gord never married Cathy Coonley. I think "The Last Time I Saw Her" is, as he says, about unrequited love. But it's a general theme. As a writer, I write with a certain idea like that in mind, but the characters are fictitious (although sometimes LOOSELY based on real people). He may have gotten the inspiration from a story that someone had told him. Or perhaps it WAS something that really happened, only not to him. Perhaps to a close friend and it touched him enough that he put it into a song.
I have some photos of Ingrid and a couple of Miles. I'll e-mail them to Florian and perhaps he will post them. Also, one or two of Eric as a young child.
Stay loose, eh?

"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."
