Jean is a dear friend of mine, that I have not heard from in several months( and was beginning to worry)I am glad he subscribed to the blog. For Jean: Salut Jean, tu pourrais donner des nouvelles de tps en tps, t'embrasse. To ken who asks about vietnameese spelling...it is nuoc mam, litterally water and fish, man being a small sardine. To those who wonder about the 33...it was made by the french Brasseries générales de l'Indochine,may be Pierre Bardouillet, whose father was the general manager of the BGI, could tell us where the name came from..but I doubt they had any dangerous chemical in it, as most of the french drank it also. I'm very impatient to see the rest of the videos, as I am not too familiar with the military compounds and bases we have seen so far. xxx to all. mimi “JEAN” in french is a man’s name…you guys…lol!

It is so good to see you here and to hear from you!! It has been so long since we last saw each other in Saigon (1961). I am honored that we are cousins, Jean. And, yes it would be so nice to visit once again and meet on the Place de la Bastille. Perhaps I will make it to Paris some day in the future. Maybe in future years sometime we can have a Saigon Kids Reunion in France. :) Jean, please keep in touch and visit here often. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Bastille Day holiday! Jusqu'à ce que nous nous réunissions encore ... Bob Jean!!! :)
