I need some help from our bicycling friends in France. The reason why is encapsulated in the following vignette. In 1988 I participated in the Voie de la Liberte, Randonnee 2eme Division Battaile, General Leclerc. Went rode from Cherbourg to Strasbourg over the course of nine days. On the fifth day (August 25, 1988, Anniversaire Liberation of Paris) of the ride, the French authorities closed the Champs Elysee for a ceremony at the Arch de Triomphe. I was selected to be the American representative during the ceremonies with Madame Leclerc and Jacques Chirac. Hundreds of photographers and newspapers lined the walkways. My photo was taken during the ceremonies dozens of times. Unfortunately, I never received a copy of any Paris newspaper. We started out early the next morning for Colombey d'Eglise and I had no ability to get the papers. I would really like some information on acquiring copies, originals, whatever ... of the Paris newspapers on August 25 & 26, 1988; particularly articles and photographs pertaining to this event. This information is particularly important to me, because my birthday is liberation day August 25th. Please Email me with suggestions. Hopefully a sympathetic student at the Sorbonne can research in the library and get photocopies or electronic means to forward me. Very Appreciative Bill Evelyn Bianchi Bill, I was on the same ride! I'll see what I might have in a box somewhere. I'll never forget that trip - great folks and great times. Lou Klein |
