Francois
Thank you so much for an enjoyable interesting stimulating evening.  I am glad Bea and I could host you and your wife.  We thought the turnout was good.
I know all present thoroughly enjoyed you presentation and vast knowledge of WWl ..WWll and beyond.
I will be bringing  a group on a river cruise on the Rhône beginning June 13 and ending in Arles June 20 .  As we spoke of, can you check your schedule for June 20th -22 or 23 in case a few of my clients wanted to go to the Normandy region?  I would love for them to not only learn about the region but to learn about it from you !
I hope the rest of your tour goes well and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you again
