Dear Rita et Bernard,

I've been wanting for a long time to send you this little note. I hope that all goes well with you and that last Winter's Ice Storm has not too seriously inconvenienced you. Leslie and I are so very grateful to both of you for the important role you have played in the founding of "l'Association des Pilon d'Amérique". Thanks to both of you we are now able to create links with family. For the first time in our lives we have received a Christmas Card from cousins. How wondeful it is to now find answers to the so many questions that have crossed our minds. Accept the expression of our gratitude and our love.

Lucienne
