    Renovation works have begun on the (deconsecrated) church . If you'd like to contribute something to this project, visit our GoFundMe page: gofund.me/f841dc3d/. The work is being done by a volunteer group interested in French patrimoine (but still materials must be purchased).

    Hello My name is Laura and I have the privilege of being the friend and caregiver of Harley, Paul’s beloved dog and companion. I spent many, many days going next door sitting on the back steps and throwing the ball for Harley and visiting with Paul. Over several years I grew to love Harley and learned from her how to try and live in the moment. I hope Paul would be happy to know she is now with me.

      Thank you, Laura, for agreeing to look after Harley! Those of us who were friends of Paul are collecting funds to help defray some of the costs of looking after a large dog like that. You have stepped forward to do the task that would mean the most to Paul. Bless you! ❤

    I first encountered Keith on the rugby pitch at Stanford in 1961 and instantly made a lifelong friend. He recruited me to join his fraternity, Delta Upsilon (DU), and I was invited to a "rush party" at Filoli, a fancy estate in the foothills overlooking San Francisco Bay. I watched in awe as a (large) bunch of DUs overpowered Keith and heaved him into the swimming pool. In midair he shouted "You bloody f**king colonials!" That sold me and I "pledged" (joined) the very next day! I was privileged to make many visits to the Oracle of Boggioli, enjoying his wit and wisdom more each time. And I always delight in our case of Boggioli oil arriving each winter. Keith will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
