WISHES
Additionally, we would like to express our sympathy to Caroline Flament who is also part of our teaching team. Caroline has been on leave since March 15th to undergo a minor surgery and prepare her daughter’s wedding. She will return on back to school in August. Congratulations to Caroline, and we also wish her a smooth recovery.
Last, we wish Bernard Loddé, our AFGO president, a good convalescence as he recovers from a hip replacement surgery that took place in March.
