Near this time in 1969, my parents and I took a red eye flight on Pan American from Boston to Paris, the beginning of a three week vacation in Europe, where we spent time with family and friends. During our stay in Paris, we spent several days in Bobigne with my mother's sister, Lucienne and her husband Felix Schoene. In Nice, we spent time with other relaitives, Morris and Gretel Bodenstein, and her friends, Jenia Gobert and Gizelle. In Locarno Switzerland, we spent time with my mother's half-sister, Sofia, her aunt, Sonua Luban and her son, Boris. In London, where my mother leanred English before she met my dad, we dined at a fine Chinese restaurant with a friend of hers, Velia, and her busband. Last but not least, my parents celebrated their wedding anniversary, which is June 23, at the Elizabethan room.
