The story provided by Larry Davis is wonderful, and I have none to beat it.

I did want to say, though, that I had one bad experience in Paris in 1971 and

resolved not to go back. But I did of course, in 1986, and I had a far more

positive experience, without I must confess a concomitant increase in my

French skills. At first I wondered what had changed in France? What an

improvement in the French! Then I wondered what had changed in me.
