The Debayle Family

This is me (on the right) with the kids from the Debayle family, who lived at 10 Cours de Gourgue, near L'Esplanade des Quinconces (or as they called it, L'Esplanade des Quinze Cons). From the left is Philippe, Françoise, and Gérard Debayle.

According to my memory, journal entries, and letters home, I spent nearly all my free time with them and their friends beginning in January, after the winter break.

This photo was taken during the Easter break near Biarritz, where the family had a villa. Gérard loved to hike and, in subsequent years, would organize trekking expeditions to China, Afghanistan, and Tibet. Alas, I have lost touch with them, much to my regret.
