Other trips
The Twenties (20's)
I know of other members of my family who visited Paris in the Twenties and one of them, Francois Denis, did it in the twenties and in his twenties. He was my father's older brother who had gone to war in the Big One and stayed on in Paris for a few years. Then he returned to the States and become a high school teacher and agricultural agent in Edgard, La. Maybe someone else can expand on this.
The Thirties (30's)
I don't know of any relatives who visited Paris during this decade.
The Forties (40's)
Another uncle, Willie Daigle, Janice's husband, was in combat in Germany. Maybe he visited Paris and maybe he didn't.
The Fifties (50's)
A more recent version is another one of my uncles, Lewis Reulet, who was in the Air Force in the 50's and visited Paris and lots of places all over. He told me many stories about trips to faraway places. Ahh! He felt sorry for his fellow servicemen who stayed on the base during leave or tried not to mingle with the locals.
The Sixties (60's)
Richard went there in 1965, 66, and 69.
Paulette went there in 1967 and69.
Colin went there in 1966 and landed with a vengance in 1969.
Jimmie went there in 1968 and 69.
The Seventies (70's)
Rosemary went there in 1977 and celebrated (observed?) Ramadan during the summer.
Colin was still there and he met Hamida (who was in her 20's)
The Eighties (80's)
Angelle, Jeanne, and Gerard visited Paris in 1982? and were grateful that Colin was there as a good, steady hand.
Paulette had a birthday party at la Coupole and the chef brought out a Salade Norvege. Get one next time you are there. She was not twenty for that party, but the Salade Norvege is worth mentioning. Another thing worth mentioning is that when I was planning her birthday party, I called my sister-in-law Karen and said "Next July is Paulette's bir.." She interrupted "Anything you want!" That's a gift.
The Nineties (90's)
Renee visited in 1995 for Junior Year abroad and had to be visited by her parents who still remembered places from the dark, distant.
The Naughts (00's)
Paulette and Richard visited in September 2005 and it seems more crowded and Semaratine is closed. The best view in Paris.
