Of course little Anne permeated the thoughts and feelings of this great social warrior, her father, and hence had inestimable value in the course of human history. The power of this real story and facts continue to bend people's hearts and minds. We need not only become a "kinder and gentler nation". Stories and experiences like this will help us become a "kinder and gentler" world! Thank you for telling this story once again. Telling stories like this can indeed have profound influence, sometimes in the least expected place. Keep writing and telling stories. I will continue to share your writing with many people.

The DeGaulle's were truly progressive thinkers for that era.

I had known about Anne because of my own research into Down syndrome and have often wondered whether Anne influenced General de Gaulle in his feelings about the Nazis.

The connection beteen de Gaulle, his daughter Anne and history is amazing--and the tender connection to your Margaret Anne and you, too. Your wonderful gifts are adding texture and depth to a subject that has been flat. You are a storyteller. Thank you.<br/>Lyra Dear Pat,
