MEETING OF MARCH 8, 2005
(Photos do not necessarily match descriptions.)

 

 

 

 

 

Regulars Larry Frame, Patricia Laplante-Collins and Dale Novick Gaber braved the demonstrations on boulevard Beaumarchais to come have a coffee with us.

Robert Larrea was back with a new goatee and is in the midst of designing Les Douze Mille Vierges by Appolinaire while looking to form a theater group to do plays in French and English.

Alanea Kowalksi, an Executive Coach, told us about her sweet studio apartment not far away that the owner wants to sell -- It's a deal for someone who wants a turn-key rental apartment in the Marais.

"Calendar Gal" Nancy Szczepanski (I call her "Nancy Paski") chatted with newly acquainanced Patricia Mullenax, an opera singer from New York hoping to move to Paris in the fall.

Kathryn Hayashi brought a friend after enjoying her visit last month so much -- Milkica Stojkovic, a resident of Paris for the last eight years and currently looking for a job.

We hadn't seen Christiane Viethel for a while -- but she's back after a long illness to practice her English and enjoy living in Paris rather than in the suburbs. Jacques Derhy, a Frenchman returning to Paris after 15 years in Canada and Florida is happy to be back, too.

Bernard John was one of the first to arrive -- he's here for six weeks with a plan to move later this year and possibly to buy an apartment. Katherin Converse was one of the last to arrive -- lost and stuck in the mess on the streets, has been a tour leader here for 15 years and is trying to decide where to plant her feet for a while.
