San Diego Mini-Reunion Nov. 14, 2013

We did it! In just a few days, we managed to set a date and find a location. There are five of us in San Diego County: Robin Creighton Genat, Seonaid "Shona" McArthur, Alexandra "Alex" Ruiz, Martha Salinas, and Rhoda Basil White. I addition, we will be joined by Skip Condé. We are meeting for lunch at Humphreys Grill in La Jolla on Thursday, November 14, 2013 at noon. We are all really excited about it and wondering if we will even recognize each other! Old student ID cards will be in order.www.humphreyslajolla.com

Photos of the 50th Anniversary Celebration in Bordeaux

Here's the UCEAP's report of the 50th Anniversary Celebration in Bordeaux last month. Linda, Skip, Alain and I can be seen in the photo of our table at La Passerelle. We were sitting just off the photo of the "round table", to the left and you might see me in the background (jean skirt), and Skip on the left, outside at the vineyard.

Chocolatine vs. Pain au chocolat !

Here's why we first learned to call them "chocolatines"!

Leslie and Anna Kay in Paris, March 2012

Leslie and Anna Kay in Paris (photo by Alain). 43 years of adventures to catch up on! So much still left to share. Next time we'll have to meet up either in DC or in Pau.

Two minutes after I sent the note to you all, Anna Kay sent me info on how to write on the blog. So cool! I look forward to reading other posts and being back in touch with you all.

Ok, everyone.  I'm new to blogging, so hopefully this will find its way to the right people.  Thanks to Linda and Anna Kay, I've been found!!  So nice not to be lost anymore.  After I left Bordeaux and came home to UC, I returned under the reorganized EAP program and did the Sorbonne 1970-71 program.  I'd love to find anyone who atttended there as well -- there were only 20 of us.  I'm teaching and still playing the violin.  You can find me on Peninsulasymphony.org.  I also do long-distance cycling.  I'm widowed, but my husband left me two wonderful daughters, both of whom have Ph.D.'s, so I know he'd be proud of them.  I'd love to hear from any and all.  Life moves fast, doesn't it?
