This page is dedicated to my story and brief visit to the Chinon Hospital-Army Depot and the surrounding community of Chinon, France. On Thursday, November 27, 1958, around 5:30 p.m., I first visited the Chinon Hospital-Depot as a newborn baby. My mother, bless her heart, sacrificed her American Thanksgiving holiday (and her wedding anniversary the previous day) to bring me into the world. Another significant story that day was, after my delivery, the doctor came back eating a leg of turkey for his Thanksgiving feast.
I lived with my parents, Larry and Jean Randall, in La Rochelle, a little village in the Chinon countryside until July of 1959, before we returned home to Michigan, U.S.A. Before they lived in La Rochelle, they lived at 84 Rue Voltaire in Chinon.
