Greeting Ian from SW France. It is many years since I asked for your help to learn to ski at Chatel. I shall never forget your kindness and that of Jane as I was undoubtedly the worst pupil either of you ever tried to teach. I doubt you will remember me now from the 1990s. The consequence of my flirtation with skiing has been many happy memories, one knee operation and a replacement hip. I am now retired from the Bar and living in the Agenais between Bordeaux and Toulouse, I was delighted to read of the success of your daughters. How accomplished. I wish you all the very best with fondest thoughts of you, Jane and the past.
