Summer, 1963
No point speculating why my journal says nothing about this very eventful summer. Since it doesn’t, I’d better put down what I remember, while I still do. These pictures help a lot.

After a lifetime of teaching French language and culture, all the while wishing he could go and absorb it himself, Pappy finally got there while I was in Paris. Valerie (who was living with them on Sixteenth Street) says it was Mammy who made it happen. But then, let’s face it, Mammy made most things happen.

They brought a BYU travel study group over. By the time they got here, they’d already touched down in a number of exciting places. One of their students must have taken this shot in Zollikofen (a suburb of Berne), Switzerland, by the front door of the first LDS temple ever built in Europe.

I had to straighten and adjust this photo quite a bit. Ample evidence that somebody less skilled than Pappy was holding Pappy’s camera.
Same venue: the whole group, less Pappy, who doubtless took the picture. Mammy’s in the middle; the girl at left was Linda Foutz, I believe; she and the folks became quite close. I used to know other names, but not in the last two or three decades.
