Meeting High School Classmates at a Paris Gallery Opening: Paul Campbell is a Featured Artist


On Tuesday I arrived in Paris and wrote on Facebook that I had an empty row to myself on the flight over.  One of the commenters was Susan Campbell who said she and her husband Paul were in Paris and Paul had an opening at a gallery in the 11th Arrondisment on the east side of Paris toward Vincennes.

I visited the gallery for the opening and had a lovely time talking to Susan and Paul. They had only been to one of the class reunions so we had not seen each other since Stoneham in 1971.  

Paul and Susan live in Brooklyn and Cape Cod, so we are going to get together in the next couple of months before they go off to live in the most well-known beach community in New England.




One of the gallery opening attendees took a picture of the three of us in in front of several of Paul's paintings.  You can see more of Paul's work here.
