Through that job, he was \u00a0fortunate to meet Jose-Maria, who worked \u00a0at the Paris branch of the company.<!--more--> The two developed a friendship that eventually included Jose-Maria&#8217;s wife Agn\u00e8s and me. We have enjoyed many experiences together, including \u00a0the Bicentennial Celebration of the USA in 1976 , sailing in the Long Island Sound, \u00a0and \u00a0dinners in Paris and New York City. When Carla was at school in England, the three of us took the Eurostar to Paris to get together with Jose-Maria and Agn\u00e8s. More recently, Nick and I got together with Jose-Maria and Agn\u00e8s in Cap Ferret, France.<\/p>\n<p>The four of us \u00a0wanted to have \u00a0a special celebration in honor of our 50 years of friendship. We decided that we would meet \u00a0at their home in Southeast France, and from there we would go to Lake Maggiore in Italy, followed by a few days in Milan. I have a genealogy buddy who is a member of my very extended family, and perhaps we could meet him in Milan, too.<\/p>\n<p>I took notes during our trip and Nick took photos, as we love to do. We will send a daily blog accompanied by the appropriate photos to our friends and family members who have enjoyed receiving them in the past.
