Dear David, Professor Christensen, What a fantastic presentation on Comte D'Artois........a member of the French Royal Family and his letters during the French Revolution You did a fabulous job and worked tirelessly on translating all 75 letters from our collection and .....bring them to life with your artful, scholarly, and witty descriptions, slides, cartoons et al. Enthralled with your history and lighthearted description so that all can enjoy a piece of the past! And have a laugh at the famous but poignant and timely French phrase: "The more things change...the more they remain the same"! "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose". Eric and I are so grateful for both you and Professor Christensen ......and for your adopting this project! Congratulations David on receiving Grants toward your long Spring and Summer .........working on the translations. You do SUNY New Paltz University and us proud! Thank you, Roger Ross & Eric Bongartz
As a Belgian, having grown up and educated in Leuven, I studied much of this history. What a tumultuous period it was. The personal letters shed yet another light on the players of the period. Having lived in Ulster County for many decades this was a nice surprise. Thank you for your great work.
