i have to confess.

i live in a retirement community with a lot of very erudite residents. one is a good friend, fellow golfer (and not bad for a nonagenarian!), and a Francophile who lived for some time in both France and Belgium. he is an expert in French history and gave an excellent lecture to the community last month on this very topic. were it not for his generosity with time and knowledge, i would have known neither answer.

please don’t ask how i remembered them this long….. :)
