My girls and moi

My parents and my nephew Eddie with my
brother Denis, in front of theCafé.

It was ancient even then, for it had the second oldest
bar license in Algiers going back to the 1860's.
But there I spend the first 20yrs of my life and there
I met the American G.I that would bring me to America.
It has been torn down since to be replaced by a girls school,
but it will live forever in my heart and in my book. -- Pierrette

Et voilá, Eddie qui a grandit...
My nephew Eddie all grown up who now lives in Marseille.
