And this is how we did it in 1961. The old "Standard Vanguard Shooting Brake" John and I were getting it ready for the ride home in '61. Had our share of adventures on the way, with a two week detour!

MORE!
I've added a couple of photos to the chapter "ON OUR WAY HOME" About 4 chapers or so back.

UPDATE ON YVETTE.
We couldn't let it end, unresolved, after getting so close. We had to let Jean Marc and his friend know that we weren't flakes. So.....
I printed off a couple of photos of Yvette from 1961 and Sharon wrote a letter to her nephew Jean Marc Boue. She wrote it in English and found a translator program in Google that wrote it out in French for her. How cool is that?
We used Google again, Google maps, and found a good aerial shot of Jean Marc's house just behind Le Poste in Grisolles. Good enough to get an address off, ain't computers grand. 11 Rue Antoine Larroque. Then we mailed it yesterday.
Now we wait!
In all probability we won't hear anything back, they didn't speak English and probably aren't as excited about it as we were. I'd like to be there when they show the photos to Yvette though. See if they help her memory.
Then again she may have just been having a bad hair day and didn't want people just dropping in.

John, Yvette and me.
The rest of the Liverpool group visiting a French home. Linda, Monsieur, Madame. my mum, Ann, Susan, Grace, Aunt Marge and the Michael.
