                                               Oradour sur Glane

When we were stationed at Chinon, a "must see" was Oradour sur Glane. One weekend, Jean and I drove over and had a look for ourselves. This was 1956 or 57 and we had a new 1956 4CV Renault.  This turned out to be an awesome experience for a couple of Michigan kids.  This was our first time to see the results of what people will do to each other and still call themselves "humans".  I took over thirty photos that day and those old colored slides are still in fair shape.





With us that day were the Wiesenborns from  Cape Girardeau, MO    Thats Jean with her arm folded
