Audrey Clark-Kelm writes: "I left the Lycée in June of '43, having attended for 3 years. I had completed 4ème, but riots were hitting NYC and my parents put me in a school in the country. I met my husband of 53 years at McGill University French Summer School. We built our Spanish-style home on a hill in Playa del Rey, California overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Marina del Rey and the Santa Monica Mountains. I graduated Cum Laude from Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. I served as Vice-President of Brookside Savings & Loan in Los Angeles.

We've been blessed with 2 daughters and a son, and 10 grandchildren. Currently I'm owner-manager of a multi-family apartment complex in Denver, Colorado and hope to slow down and smell the roses one of these days. My knowledge of French was a blessing when we traveled in 1964 with our two daughters for three months through 14 European countries, including 5 Communist-ruled countries which refused to acknowledge the English language.

We owned the first Travel Agency in Playa del Rey, which gave us the opportunity to travel all over the world. My last trip was to India and Nepal in '99 where I attended the 17th Annual Polo Match where the players rode elephants, not horses. Life's been good and we're happy to enjoy good health. As for hobbies, the study of healing the body through proper nutrition, supplements, etc. and the study of the mind and how it operates, are my most pre-eminent ones."
