Dad lived on Rue de Babylon, and he had a Villa at Cap D’Antibes. He Made His Living Playing Contract Bridge, Which Was a Thing in Europe in the 1940’s and 1950’s

Dad worked for General DeGaulle and Winston Churchill. Mom was OSS, Dad was Securite Nationale. They met on a battlefield in France in 1945. Her cover was US Army Nurse, Ambulance Driver. Dad was known by the French troops to be a government agent. Dad did not speak English, and never came to USA. Mom was encouraged to respect life (mine) by a deeply religious (Baptist) person who I call The Saint. He actually was named after a Saint. He held me at my Baptism at St. James Church (71st and Madison, NYC) and made sure I got confirmed by the Anglican Bishop of Lausanne (Switzerland). My biological father took me for several summers in France, Switzerland, and Austria.
