Tres bon, monsieur! Ou etes vous dans les videos?

Interesting that Bob Warman is still at Central after all these years. I worked with him on a truckload of training videos for Volkswagen many years ago.

My French didn't improve during the 4-day trip Smile

I'm not a member of the Key family. I did the research bit finding the family, and they invited Mrs W and I to the ceremonies. It was a moving experience when I met the family two years ago to tell them about their 'zero who was a hero' (as one of the newspapers later reported the story), and it was very moving seeing the efforts of the French town in preparing an exhibition, and the cermonies, and the neatly tended grave.

There's a few glimpses of me. Best shot might be when the museum man handed out some booklets to a group of fellows, I'm extreme right, the old geezer Razz
