This is the story of my father coming to California:
After graduating from college, I left for France to go into the French Army for a year. When I came back to the States, I started graduate school at Catholic U. in Washington D.C. I left after one year to go to work. After working for three years in D.C. I decided to move to California to work in the entertainment industry. I worked in the industry in front and behind the camera for four years. At the end of the four years, I decided to go back to France to work for a year. I found work at the Mobil Oil Corporation in Paris. While working there, I met Florence who was working there in order to receive credit for her school diploma. We moved together to Los Angeles after a year and got married the following spring. We have been living in Los Angeles ever since.
Born in the desert. Left because of a split. France was his new home. He had a dream of working with the stars. Worked in front & behind the cameras. Four years of his life, in a few movies but this was not for him .To France he would go back. Until he met my mother at their place of work. They fell in love, to LA they would go. They had my brother, they had me. Been in LA ever since .One brother, working on a clothing line .The other, in college working on music and writing. Each of us must continue our family tree. Will we still be in California? We'll have to wait and see.
