  • ON THE ORIGINAL PEGASUS BRIDGE

    24 augustus 2023

    Today I spoke with Arlette Gondrée after making sketches of the original Pegasus Bridge in Memorial Pegasus, Normandy. Arlette (then 4 years old) was, with her father and mother, the first family that was liberated on the 6th of June 1944. Her spirit and energy make her look like a 40-year old (young) woman. She wrote something for me on my card. Such a pity that I did not have the little brown book with me.

    Dr. Caroline Boyle Turner (Gauguin-expert, who visited my exhibition in La Chapelle Notre Dame de La Paix, Le Pouldu 2013): "só many coïncidences are happening in you life, Lucy".
