Our summer adventure has begun. Last night I dropped Randy off at O'Hare for a flight to Copenhagen. Tomorrow Randy (the younger), Judianne and four kids leave for Paris. I join them the following day. On Friday, Randy (the elder) finishes his work in Copenhagen and joins us in Paris. That evening we will have dinner with a friend we met fifteen years ago. He wrote a book about our Grandpa Ted's escape from France during WWII. Mathieu interviewed us on a 1996 trip to France as he was gathering information for the book. We have been in touch ever since and have seen him a time or two since then. He grew up in the St Quay/Portrieux area, and the crash of the "Lady Godiva" B-17 and subsequent rescue and escape of pilot Ted Peterson is one of the area's greatest claims to fame, and anyone from Ted's family who visits is a celebrity. We are happy to be taking five new celebrities back to St. Quay for a reunion with some of the dearest people in our lives.

Au revoir!
The Nashville Petersons are so jealous! We love St. Quay! Have fun! We can't wait to go back and visit again someday. We cherish those memories.
