Due to a gift from a
departed Ancien, I was able to go to Camerone 2007
in Aubagne with my wife and attendant. We were also able to see my Family in
Holland. It is for that reason I have included
the Personal photos of our
extended holiday
First off, my sincerest thanks to the
family of our benefactor and Tom G. the
Ancien who facilitated all the necessary transactions to make it
happen. Thanks to our former RM board member
Charles L. who came from the UK to
meet us in Paris and took us out for dinner.
Unfortunately, we could not delay our trip to Aubagne to meet with
Patrick Hervier, we were hoping to meet him on the Gare de Lyon before
our departure to Aubagne. Cpl K and his lovely wife were
incredible as to how far they went out
of their way to make our time one that we will never forget. It was
great that Flash was able to come along with us.
The trip to Puybloubier, the Millau
viaduct and subsequent dinner at
Cpl K’s home was one of the highlights of our trip. I met many anciens from my time and one
from my Escadron. We did not
know each other, but maybe when we see pictures of that time will be
recognizing one and other. The day of Camerone was great, Cpl K
got us from the hotel and after
the ceremonies we had a few beers and I got to meet the
former moderator Phil Wu (RIP) of the deCervens Legion forum.
