After leaving Westbury in 1964, I attended the University of Saint Thomas and then the University of Houston where I received a Bachelor of Arts (major in English and Political Science) in 1970. I then went to work at various jobs including a year with Lockheed at NASA during one of the Apollo missions. In mid-1973 I returned to university and earned a Teaching Certificate and taught for the Houston Independent School District for four years before leaving the States and going to Europe. I met a French woman in Italy and we ended up getting married and starting a family. We first lived right near Paris in a suburb called Charenton. During this time I worked for Digital Equipment Corporation and IBM. I also worked for various service companies as an analyst programmer. My wife finally got fed up with me being out of town so often on missions in different parts of France. So I decided to go to work for the French Educational System which allowed me more time to be with my children who were small at that time. This of course proved very practical since my wife was just setting up her practice as pediatrician at that time. I am most proud of my children and their accomplishments. The eldest, Eléonore, is married and has one child, Abel. And I'm very proud of little Abel. Her husband is an actor on the French stage and in French movies on television. Eléonore is also a song artist and has made several recordings.
Constance lives in Spain where she teaches at the French school in Barcelona. She is fluent in four languages and is planning on getting a diploma in translating which will permit her to work for the European Parliament. Eloi after having received a degree in Computer Science went to work last year for a company that produces special effects for cinema. Victoire was received last year into the National Theatre Conservatory in Paris and is preparing a career in theatre.

Yes, Roy, I remember the evening Mr Burns cut off his thumb. Some of us from the Royal Ensemble - Drama club were rehearsing André Obey's Noah with Ruby Hall - who took over Drama department after Richard Johnson left- in the auditorium. There was a loud knock on one of the doors and Mr Burns came in and shouted out that he had had an accident in the wood shop. Bobby Egalnick and another fellow immediately went into action to tie up his thumb and we, I think I went with them, took off for the Bellaire Hospital. We took him to Emergency and at one point an intern comes out with the cloth opened saying "There's nothing here!" We ran out into the parking lot and found his sectioned thumb and brought it back to the intern. Don't remember if it was able to be sewn on successfully or not.
Anyway, Happy Birthday and live a long healthy life. - Cheers, Paul-Harvey Du Bois

Best wishes on your birthday, Comrade! I say "comrade" because here in France May 1st is the Workers Holiday. Supposedly the May 1st holiday for all workers originated in the States. Anyway, best wishes to you and your family. - Paul-Harvey DuBois

Wishing you and your family all the best, Steve. And don't work too hard. And....try to retire but I'm aware of the difficulties in that choice especially these days. In fact, I've been retired for almost 4 1/2 years but may have to go back to work as a sort of substitute teacher. Despite the exchange rate between the two currencies, you get more for your dollar in Texas than you do for a euro in France at present. So long for now,

Happy (belated) birthday, Sue Gibson Wright!

I wish you all the blessings of Heaven for your work with those who are disadvantaged in this world. And hopefully you will continue in these endeavors. I had tried to send you something a little bit fancier for your birthday, like an ecard that you would receive on your birthday, but being that I am technologically challenged in these matters, time ran out. So best wishes on your birthday anyway. - Kindest regards, Paul-Harvey Du Bois
