Although we only visited Ville- franche twice, most of us left be- hind old friends amongst the bar- tenders, shopkeepers, fishermen and inhabitants. Our parlez-vous, merci's andi s'il vous plaits helped us to go native rather quickly and being sailors we had little difficulty finding our way about the Ol, 02 and O3 levels. A natural harbor, and the quaint landing with its waiting sidewalk cafes made Ville a natural home away from home. The Welcome Hotel was welcome indeed and its fireplace even more so on our frosty return trip. We celebrated Christmas in Ville and all hands turned duty-dads to make it a happier one for French or- phans who delighted to see helicop- ter-borne Pere Noel land on our fan- fail. From Villefranche some took tours to Rome and Paris. .. others toured the Riviera or went skiing in the Alps. We spent much time in Nice and sometimes walked back at night along the middle Cornish Drive lis- tening to the pounding surf of the Med far below. 7720 Many memoriele shared by all. . . Mom Germaine's petite fritures, and hot chowder . . . .lerry's Bar . . . Cos- mo's Bar fseems every port has a Cosmo'sl. . . The Plantation Club . . . the look no hands cyclist at the landing and grinders and cokes be- fore that ride back. For The Most Unforgettable Char- acter l'Il Never Forget, we'd nomi- nate Beachgwrd Annie fMadeleine Locatello for those who wonderedi, whose hearty handshake and robust backslap were always supplemented by the delicate bouquets of flowers she brought for VADM Combs. Between playing hopscotch with the anchorage between Ville and beaulieu we became part of the Mar- di Gras festivities. fWhat's the fob code number for qualified confetti thrower into unsuspecting open mouths? For all these things and all those others we will remember we reserve for Ville a high place in our Med cruise memories. And last but not least, the beachguard would like to thank Mom Germaine for her tent.
