MEETING OF December 13, 2005
(Photos do not necessarily match descriptions.)

La Pierre du Marais is under new management and with it came freshly painted terra-cotta colored walls that created a warmer glow than before -- so evident in the photos I took.

Ronny Rubin proudly displays his Carte de Séjour that took him four years to get with an incredible amount of angst. We all applauded him and he was glowing, too -- with happiness.

 

Joan Rogers and Arthur Lemay came to say hello for a second time. They visit Paris once a year and are thinking of buying an apartment next year.

French Property Insider's Yolanda Robins and Ellen Jung Josse were among the attendees, getting to know everyone and helping advise them on their property-related questions.

 

 

Tom Regan is still loving his rue St. Paul apartment, chatting it up with Kathy Borrus, author of a coffee table tome titled "One Thousand Buildings of Paris." She's here for the holidays with Noel Klores, a retired attorney from Washington, DC.

 

 

 

 

Juan R Yriart, not pictured, arrived toward the end of the gathering, but came to Paris to work in artist management and enjoy the city.

Lisa Murray, also having arrived latish and with no photo to show, is married to a Frenchman, moved to France as an athlete (swimming), studied in Lyon last year and is now expecting a baby in March.

Regular, Laura Savulesco, did the same -- we urge you all to come earlier and enjoy meeting everyone!

 

Dale Novick Gaber is happily back from New Orleans after three months of cleaning and repairing her father's badly-damaged home. She says "it was the worst three months of her life."

 

 

 

 

 

Allison Smith surprised us all once again with her amazing bird calls. She just received a Belle Skinner Fellowship from Vassar College to do research for her music doctorate at Northwestern University in oboe performance and to study baroque oboe. She hopes to be able to work in France, too, as a musician and will soon renew her Carte de Séjour. Little did she know I used to play oboe, too!

 

 

 

Linda Quinet pops in regularly. Today she met newcomer Stephan Baishanski, a Franco-American who is moving to Europe from the U.S. indefinitely, is exploring business opportunities in software development and is looking to settle in Paris or other major European city.

 

 

 

 

Patricia Laplante-Collins, our most faithful attendee, may look suspicious here, but she had a big smile on her face as she chatted with so many of her friends. Her pup, Eve, joined us, although she isn't pictured, and was on particularly good behavior!

 

 

 

 

 

Parler Paris Marketing Director Lynda Sydney shares animated conversation with regular Delores Lilly over Kir and wine.
