MEETING OF June 14, 2005
(Photos do not necessarily match descriptions.)

We had a full house of Parler Paris Après Midi regulars and lots of Canadians!...

Single men (or at least, let's call them "men on their own") who came for a coffee and a chat included Ronny Rubin, Ralph Lastuka, Jacques Derhy, Eric Tolbert, Robert Larrea and Jack Lampert.

 

 

 

Women on their own included Dale Gaber, Judy Screiber, Patriicia Laplante Collins, Alanea Kowalski, Jane Rosenberg and Sandra Syms.

Couples we've had the pleasure of welcoming before included Walter and Shirley Pappas and Pamela and Jim Leavy.

Parler Paris and French Property Insider staff members Yolanda Robins (Property Manager), Ellen Jung-Josse (Property Search Consultant) and Lynda Sydney (Assistant) were on hand, of course.

 

Newcomers who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the interaction with other anglophones were...

Tori Springer who recently finished her Sorbonne studies and is looking for a job as a fashion agent for photographers, stylists and make-up artists.

Michael Johnson, a handyman who can do home repairs, painting, carpentry and electricity.

 

Janet Pearson who is a travel writer who came for the Air Show at Le Bourget.

Sue and Steve Chenette, from Toronto, about to close on the purchase of a Marais apartment that Alanea Kowalski is currently renting! (It's because of Parler Paris Après Midi and French Property Insider that the learned of the apartment!)

Elaine Taylor from Ottawa, visiting me for a few days (we met on a cruise in the Carribean years ago!), for whom this is her first time in Paris and is taking it all in very quickly!

 

 

 

Karen Crumbliss, already counting down the days till her 9-week stay in Le Marais is over while her husband has been working at the University of Paris 7. She is loving every moment.

Elisabeth Montlahuc, "une Française" who wants to meet other Americans and anglophones to practice her English.

Beth Eckenrod, who currently lives on a barge in the Seine and is hoping to get to dry land.

 

 

And Anita Marie Garcia, who came to France to participate in a painting workshop, but visits at least twice a year and is seriously interested in relocating here. She works with mentally challenged adults and brain injured adolecents, plus teaches art to young children.
