Engineer Memoirs
John W. and Susan (Somervell) Griswold with Major and Mrs. Graves at the christening of Ralph
Henry Graves in the American Cathedral in Paris, August 1952.
A:
I was busy. And I didn't feel all that well at first, although that was very brief. But it
was a challenge--to learn French and see Paris. You know, I looked at all those little
children who were speaking French. And I thought, well, if they can speak French, I can
speak French. So it was, yes, a challenge. In all of our different tours, there was a
different challenge in every one of them. This one was to speak French and get along
in Paris.
Q:
How long did you stay over there?
A:
Three years.
Q:
Wow. So your first child is a son, right?
A:
Yes.
