Jacques and his brother Father Raymond
(a Catholic Priest, served 40 years in Africa) .... Hey that makes a great riddle! How can a person be your Father and your Brother at the same time? .... Jacques took Raymond, Becky and myself to their favorite local French restaurant .... it was a wonderful 4 hr experience! The best food we have ever tasted in our lives!

Our favorite Renault prototype
It was a pleasure to meet Stephane Poux (President of the De Tomaso Club De Fance) while at Retromobile where he was maning the De Tomaso Booth .... Especially since Becky and I own a 1973 Pantera L (click here) we bought new in Sacramento. My camera disk failed just then, so no other pictures than the one above ... the middle top is the prototype of the newest Pantera due out in 2002. It will cost $160,000 U.S. dollars. The one on the upper left is the one Stephane drives daily, I saw it parked out front here today.
