MY FAMILY IN PHOTOS

My family seems very close despite the distances that separate us. Between e-mail and the telephone, we manage to keep in touch, and this web site also helps. My older brother Keith is in American Samoa, my brother Roger in Illinois and my brother Gregory, his wife Emi and three children are in Bulgaria. My wife Martine Caillard is in France near Strasbourg, my daughter Agnès and her husband Bahador in Geneva (not that I see them any more than anyone else) and my son Alexander and his wife Mahalia Gagnon, stepson Jéremie, my grandson Benjamin and a new granddaughter Alie are in Quebec. The earth is but one country...
