Saturday night we had a great visit with Dick's niece (daughter of Dick's older sister Roberta) and her husband. Debbie and Jim live in Las Vegas and were in our neck of the woods to attend their son, Charlie's basic training graduation at Ft. Benning in Columbus, GA. It was fun to hear new stories about Dick's family.
And, we were thoroughly entertained listening to Jim and Debbie's adventures while living abroad. Dick and I have rarely traveled outside the south so we were in awe. As a young college student Debbie attended the University of Paris (the Sorbonne) for a year and a half then returned to Texas to get her undergrad degree at UT, then back to Paris for another year and a half to work on her masters in foreign languages. After marrying Jim they lived in Germany for about 15 years where he worked for the Army Adjutant General's Office and she taught foreign languages at the American School. Jim has now retired from the army, but Debbie is still teaching French. During dinner we lived vicariously through them.
