We Four

Here are the four of us (humble self, Mammy, Brent, Pappy) at about the time of my first mission call, posed in our Sunday-go-to-meetin’ best at the bougainvillea corner of the San Bernardino homestead. I do surely exemplify the wide-awake youth of the Early Sixties, n’est-ce pas? We were all delighted at the assignment to France, needless to say. Although Pappy’s master’s degree was in German (he did a translation of Undine; wonder what’s become of the copy we used to have in the bookcase…), French was always his preferred language, and travel to France rated high among his ambitions. On a teacher’s salary (even a French teacher’s), he’d never managed it. As will appear later, he and Mammy did come in 1963 (mainly at Mammy’s initiative), while I was assigned to the Mission Office in Paris. More about that later.
