I was especially surprised that you were able to find a college document advertising him as the school's French teacher two weeks before he died.

I believe he was rather full of himself and the introduction to his book had a lot of boasting about being a 'reader' to Princess Sophia. <br />I'll send more about my mother and father if this would interest you. Any information I have about my grandfather is rather sparse. Much of it was lost while I was living overseas.<br />Regards, John Tourrier Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
