Charlie: (Or anyone else who might have a suggestion)

A fellow in England I am in contact with has asked me about English
speaking people in Wintzenbach. His father and mother are planning on
visiting Wintzenbach in a month to see if they can find the grave of his
cousin was downed in a Lancaster during the war. I sent him pictures of
the tombstones, now his father is really excited. He has asked me if I
knew anyone in Wintzenbach who speaks English. None of my wife's
relatives who live there speak English, at least not that they would
admit it. Her English speaking relatives that we work with live all over
France, but not in Wintzenbach. The only English speaking one from
Wintzenbach, a son of the ones who live in the family homestead there,
now is lives in Washington D.C. I'm trying to figure out who I might
suggest he lookup in Wintzenbach who might speak English. I know you
were close to there, if not there, and thought I would run this by you.
I'm thinking the Priest at St. Gilles, or someone in the Mayor's office.
Maybe someone knows if the Mayor's office has an email address.
