UC EAP France 1968-69: Reunion May 31, 2014 in Los Angeles, CA

Thank you, Bill Travis, for hosting such a wonderful and memorable party in your lovely home. Here are just a few pictures that my husband took. I hope others will post their photos on the blog, too.

Robin & Helene meet in Laguna Beach, CA

Helene Neu and I recently met for lunch in Laguna Beach, California. The weather was spectacular and and we had a nice visit. Helene lives in Ann Arbor but was in Redondo Beach visiting her family. We stay in touch by phone during the year and usually manage a face to face once a year. It is always so comforting to see old friends and I enjoy our short visits.

Washington DC reunion, January 2014

(Posted by AK for Leslie)

Five or us met at a French restaurant—no surprise there!  We think we are the only DC area EAPers from our year in Bordeaux.  Even though we could not all remember each other from Bordeaux, we had a great time and we will certainly remember each other now.  We have a lot in common after all these years, and our career and travel paths have intersected more than we could ever have imagined.

Here are 3 photos.  In the group photo, we are, from left to right: Nanette, Susan, Leslie, Marie and Jennifer.  We had a blast.  I will come to the event in LA on May 31^st and will have to represent the other DC alumnae.  Looking forward to it.

In 2003, I drove through Bordeaux and took a few pictures. The recent posts have inspired me to put a couple of these on the blog. Although much has changed in Talence, the chateau d'eau (the view out my dorm window) was still there. I also took a picture of Tammy Brown's and Cindy Thornburg's apt at 14 Rue de la Boetie - it had been spruced up and was looking much better than when we were there - and thought I'd share with everyone.

La Jolla mini Reunion

I am thrilled to report that our reunion in La Jolla was a great success! Eight of us convened at Humphreys in La Jolla for lunch and it couldn't have been more delightful. We brought photo albums, ID cards, and an endless stream of memories with which to regale one another throughout lunch. In attendance were Skip Condé, Phil Jackson, Amy Iwata Jackson, Seonaid "Shona" McArthur, Alex Ruiz, Martha Salinas, and yours truly, Robin Creighton Genat. There was a genuine feeling of warmth, openness, and enthusiasm for one another and an appreciation for the great opportunity we had been given by virtue of this experience so many years ago. Phil brought a bottle of the most divine Bordeaux red to share. Here are a few photos.
