MEETING OF July 12, 2005
(Photos do not necessarily match descriptions.)

My daughter, Erica, showed up with her boyfriend, Yannick Rault, having just returned from a week in Morocco, with her hands painted in henna and looking very tan and relaxed. It was a first appearance at Après Midi -- in fact, she asked me later what we were all doing there! Oh to be young and unaware...

 

 

 

 

Pamela and Jim Leavy have become regulars to all our events...now permanent residents of Paris. Wannabee resident, Diana Wright, is an Angeleno with a dream to move to Paris, studying at the Sorbonne all summer long and hoping to meet the Frenchman of her dreams.

 

 

 

 

Eugene Profit switched from indoor glasses to cool specs for the pic -- here for his summer vacation, but one-time Paris resident, he once inherited a suitcase of mine -- the largest one you've ever seen. He says it houses some pretty important stuff, like having a small shed on wheels.

 

Mystery Diane escaped without telling us much about herself...but cooled off with a tall beer.

Not pictured is: Mary Ellen Gallagher, who once lived in Paris and sadly misses it...yearning for a way to return and think we may have some answers for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old friend, Jack Lampert tries never to miss a session while he's in Paris, chatted up with Beth Eckenrod...still living on a barge on the Seine.

 

 

 

 

 

New Yorker, Dolores Marquez Litchfield made friends with Parler Paris Marketing Manager, Lynda Sydney. She manages an apartment on the Ile Saint Louis year-round and is looking for another apartment for a group of buyers.

 

 

 

 

Cheryl Bailey and Robert Larrea happily come every month to share stories.

Mai Nguyen and Wendy Newman became friendly...Mai is a regular at Parler Parlor, happy about an apartment she and her French husband just made an offer on. She's working on her French andlooking for work. Wendy has been here 18 months, took French at the Sorbonne and works as a manicurist. She has an apartment to rent on a long term basis while she heads back to Australia for a bit of time.

 

 

 

Sandra Syms, a real-estate agent from New York must have been making deals while I caught her off-guard, but looking chic, nonetheless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vincent Menill and Barry Burros, from New York, keep an apartment here and in Florida to spend their time enjoying it all. They joke...they have no goals...having fun is what it's all about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judy Glickman of Los Gatos and Yolanda Robins, FPI Property Manager, stopped in between apartment visits to say hello. They were elated to find an apartment just a few blocks away that Judy could call her own -- and is a few meters larger than their home in Los Gatos -- once a chicken coop and the smallest house in Santa Clara County!

 

 

 

Patricia Laplante Collins was just introduced to Chantal Goldstein, chair of the city's Charte de Qualité project for Bed and Breaksfasts in the City of Light. Patricia doesn't miss a meeting, along with her pup, Eve (not pictured). She's the queen of networking -- don't miss her Wednesday and Sunday night gatherings.
