1967	French Version	now

From the start, this 4th july 1962, 186th anniversary of the US independance,
that saw my coming on earth as the 4th of a 6-children family, i have grown with
the increasing conviction that a stable family is the starting point of many things ...

Hobbies :
Taking care of my familly takes all the time that is not devoted to my job. Taking
care of children is indeed my preferred activity. So I have no real personal hobby
but many areas of interest that I try to share with my wife and children:

skiing	from my 18 first years in the mountains, i have kept the taste of skiing very high and very fast. 85 mph is the maximum i could do so far on the speed track of Vars in France, with 2m25 skis and an old helmet. I had no dedicated skisuit unfortunately and I discovered with a great disappointment the incredible resistance of air (my objective was 95 mph). Recently some damages made to my knee forced me slow down.
scuba diving	got my "elementary certificate" and did dive 38 meters deep on a wreck near Cavalaire on the french riviera, but did not dive recently, unfortunately.
swimming diving	About 1500 m every Saturday morning Preferably from the 3 meters high diving board. I can now do a reasonably good 1.5 loop dive (video, 700K).
home computing	Children are very happy to share this hobby with me
driving	The larger, the better, currently a Renault Grand-Espace
collecting dinky toys
