In the summer of 1970, while on graduation leave, touring by motorcycle, I met an American girl who was studying at the Sorbonne. I was standing in line to get an entry ticket at the 24 hrs of Le Mans. She noticed the USNA crest on my t-shirt & started a conversation. After we got our tickets a ...
