This month's Parler Paris Après Midi brought an entirely new group of attendees from the March meet-up with the exception of faithful Patricia Laplante Collins of Paris Soirées.
That doesn't mean that there weren't lots of old friends and regulars such as...
Dale Novick Gaber, psycho-therapist and life coach who is happily organizing her charming little duplex on rue Charlot...
Mary Ellen Gallagher, French Property Insider's illustrious "search engine" who loves talking about all the great apartments she's seen lately...
Judith Merians, formidable entertainment lawyer and studio executive, literary agent, and film school professor in Los Angeles for over 25 years who will be leading a three-hour seminar on Saturday entitled "Plot the Perfect Crime and Find Fame and Fortune"...
Al Stewart, lovingly referred to as "my Gay neighbor in previous newsletters, and President of Business Mentors who has no running water in his Marais apartment thanks to a leak in a pipe on the floor above...
Allan Smid, a faithful attendee who's lived an extraordinary life wearing many hats, now happily retired and thoroughly enjoying Paris...
Medora Kaltenbach, who is back for a while now to be in Paris to see everything she can see...
Mark Kritz, a retired gentleman who is now more permanent than not in Paris in his Montmartre apartment...
Newcomers were plenty, starting with...
Lucy Colllins, in Paris for only three months working on her dissertation and French and seeking an internship in fashion...
Chantal Schirlin, our one French representative, who wants to improve her English...
Edward Keller...a personal chef who lives in the 2nd district near rue Montorgueil where he can shop for gourmet goodies till he drops for his business named "Carotte et Caviar"...
John W. Puderbach, a past conference attendee and attorney/consultant, is in Paris seeking a new home in Europe and wants to learn French.
Jaye Morency, a client of French Property Consultation who purchased an apartment in Le Marais last year for her daughter to live in while attending third year abroad and for investment purposes, is already thinking about another one.
Katherine Converse said that if Bush were to be re-elected, she would leave to become a "baguette lady" and so she did. That was more than three years ago while she organizes tours to Italy and France, sketches, paints, writes and works towards her PhD as a "Bon Vivant!" She proudly says she loves her "rennaissance" in France.
Joe Soileau was also a past conference attendee from Louisiana now living in Paris enjoying the culture, food and working part time in real estate.
And without question...a good time was had by all making and meeting new friends and discovering how much they each have in common.
