Location Hagerstown, Maryland, United States
Introduction I was born and raised in France, and have lived in the US permanently since I was 23. I am a retired French professor; I taught at the university level for a bit over 20 years. My intellectual curiosity is insatiable, and I also think that I have a pretty decent sense of humor.
