 Dear Nancy

I thank you very much for that fast and interesting answer. I am a little disappointed that Andre Tousignant is not the true name; it would have been such a nice story to put in my genealogy. But, some other way, I am most flattered that you have chosen our name for this novel. Don't change anything. I thank you also for the photo of Leo. It reminds me when I was in the Canadian Army during the last World War. I have 14 Leos listed in my genealogy and a few of them could be him but it is not possible to identify him positively. You have been very nice to answer me and I still wish you good luck.

Thank you for your kind thoughts about my novel. I wish a publisher felt the same way. I was about 16 in Louisville,Kentucky when I met Leo at a USO dance. I don't recall too much but apparently I did see him once or twice and must have corresponded with him for some time later while visiting friends in Detroit he came down and we spent the day together.

I am not sure where he was from ... I thought Montreal but I am not sure. When I began writing this suspense story about the Canadian raid on Dieppe I remembered the name which I had thought so pretty and unusual enough not to invade anyone's privacy and I see that I have done just that.

My name then was Nancy Calveard. Since then my husband and I have made three trips to Normandy and Brittany. Actually happened to be in Dieppe on the 40th anniversary of the landing. It was quite an affair and we were surprised to see as many Germans as there were Canadians.

Best wishes,
Nancy Bowie

Subject: Genealogical Information

My name is Andre Tousignant.
I was very impressed to read the first Chapter of "Shadows of St.Germain" that I found out on Internet. It is a great success of yours and Iam sure it will be a bestseller.

I am a genealogist, for over 40 years, working on the Tousignant families. For this reason, I was wondering if that Andre Tousignant, one of the principal figures of this novel, is a true or fictional name? If it is his true name, I want to carry out research in France to find more about genealogical information.

One Andre Tousignant was born on september 20th 1882 and I never could find anything else about him. If he is the good one, that means he would have been 60 years old at the moment of this event. That makes sense, I guess!

I thank you in advance for this awaited answer and I wish you good luck.

Andre Tousignant

Photo editing tools may be used to single out individuals in Robert Meyer's group images. Craig Strom honors us with his humanity. For example, he recognizes Sasha as an escape artist. Recently he saw her flashing by, headed in a risky direction. He called her name: she stopped and heeded his call to come to him.
I assure you, it takes someone with special instincts to accomplish that type of rescue with Sasha.

I received a Christmas notes from Edwina Reynolds in 2009 and 2010. She said that Mousehole population now has few original folks, like her own family. Her Mom, Stella was such a love! I can hear her fine soprano singing folk and hymns in the pub or up at Paul Church. I have three CDs of Charlotte Church's voice, and a CD of Welsh Male Choir singers to keep me close to you. Edwina kindly sent a 45 rpm tape of the Mousehole Male Voice Choir titled "With Heart and Voice". Christmas Day will be a fine opportunity to test the acoustic behavior of the new flooring.

Nancy Elizabeth Calveard graduated with a secondary school diploma 1n 1943 from a distinguished private school called Presentation Academy. It was founded in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1831 and was opened in 1893. Nancy was very prideful of her schooling heritage. She died on November 10, 2009, as my spouse, Nancy Elizabeth Bowie. I am blessed to have received the following note on Presentation Academy stationery from Sister of Charity of Nazareth Sister Miriam Corcoran.
