    We have a print by a French artist named Jacques Oudot. His wife gave it to us in 1987 in Lyons. It's hard to find any info on him. He's got some paintings listed on AskArt but I don't have a subscription. IMG_4474.jpeg

    Ah, but my Jacques Oudot was born in 1938 and died in the 80s
    No, I was there with a boys high school varsity basketball team! Jacque's wife was supposed to host me but she thought I was a boy - I guess Beverly can be a boys name. I was supposed to share a room with her 14 year old son. I ended up staying with the English teacher in the suburb of Franchville. At the end of the trip, the wife (she was a pediatrician and I don't recall her name) invited Jon and I to dinner at her house which was an old convent building. She gave me the print as an apology. The English teacher's husband had been the Police Chief and was in jail for corruption so my week wasn't the most pleasant. There was no bus into Lyons so I spent the week walking the countryside and reading - not exactly bad.

    That's the one! I can't believe I couldn't find anything. I carried that in my lap all the way home from France in the days before they stopped letting you do that.
