Entry: Learning to Love the French Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/learning_to_love_the_french#12384 Post contents: A really nice piece - merci. In my family lineage (the Virginia side) there was always mention of Monsieur Lafayette, who was met at Yorktown by my great- great-great-grandfather, General Cocke. Lafayette sent a bell from a convent on one of his estates to Bremo, where it is duly tolled every 4th of July in anticipation for the beginning of the Turtle Race. In return, General Cocke sent General Lafayette a fine breeding paid of Virginia Turkeys. Ces amities, c'est tres bien. Sent at: 2008 11 23
