Baby Danielle would not have been
born if American soldiers had not taken her mother in a
jeep to the hospital in Carentan (near Utah Beach).
Suzanne, a cousin was killed by shrapnel between her father
& mother…
Because of the stories she heard from her parents of the
D-Day 1944 period, Danielle always felt some kind of gratitude
for America and this is why she first went there in 1967
and again in 1968 to marry a Texan…she lived in Texas
& California for about 15 years and decided to "
go back to her roots" in 1983.
She has a son Trevor who now works on a river barge on the Seine. He is dual citizen: American & French (no accent in either language)
After working a while in Paris for Meridien hotels she finally
came back to her Normandy, first with the Normandy Tourist
Board in Evreux, then she was Director of the Caen &
Falaise Tourist Offices.
She now works as an independent contractor and today lives
in the small town of Isigny-sur-Mer, right in the center
of the US sector of the D-Day Landing Beaches.
