I have to agree w JP. Seems to be a whole lot of "fluff" on the site sometimes, but this was a real "gem". I agree that a lot of what would qualify as our French heritage is on the verge of disappearing forever with some of our older generation. My mom is 89 as was chastised in her elementary school for speaking French; now we have French immersion. Those conversations she used to have with my grandparents around the Sunday dinner table are a "thing of the past", I'm afraid.
