I should note that a few other veteran Vendéens have been  or will be in Les Sables this summer.  Some will be here mainly to visit their former host families.  That's the case with Lauren Casella, WVU-V 2001, who is also in town this week, but who can't join us for a field trip.  Becky Reece, WVU-V 2003, was in town briefly also.  It's a real pleasure to see that so many of our Vendéens have developed a real, heart-felt relation with their "home" on the Atlantic coast of France.
