How are you connected to France?
“I did not grow up with a lot of money, but my mother likes to play games and she was very lucky. One day, she entered a call-in radio contest to win tickets anywhere in the world. When it turned out she was the correct number caller, the DJ asked her where she wanted to go. She replied, “My kid is taking French, so Paris.” My mother won this contest and at 15, I took my first trip to Paris! The trip included R/T tickets for two, 10-days in a classic French hotel and a coupon book we could use for meals. It was a dream come true. Visiting Paris as a young teenager not only captured my imagination, it fueled my growing love of art and the built environment”.
