I met Suzzanne Bouchard at my first Alliance Française de St. Louis holiday party in 1998. A beautiful white-haired, green-eyed lady, she was the best ambassador the Alliance ever had.

With time, countless St. Louis-Lyon Sister Cities, Société and Alliance Françaises de St. Louis dinners, events, book-club meetings, birthdays, Easters, Thanksgivings and Christmases later, she became much more than a friend: Suzzanne became family to me.

A fervent advocate for the less fortunate, passionate social worker, care-giver extraordinaire to her parents, Aunt Joan and Lee, Suzzanne liked to pick up “strays”, human ones. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…”, she was always in. Always there for me and for many of you, I suspect.

My Suzzanne was fierce in Life, Love and Friendship.

Suzzanne lost her fourth battle with cancer on Friday May 15th; she was 81 years young.

Ce n’est qu’un au revoir Suzzanne, say “hello” to Lee for us!

Last week, we had the absolute honor of welcoming His Excellency Laurent Bili, Ambassador of France to the United States, who visited Saint Louis to launch the new Missouri branch of the French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACC) and whose visit included a meeting with Mayor Cara Spencer.

We were equally thrilled to host Charlotte Montel, the new General Consul of France at the Consulate General of France in Chicago, as well as Habib Moudachirou, President of the FACC, and Sarah Maurizi, Director of the Missouri branch of the FACC.

In addition to a reception at the Alliance Française, we were joined by M. Bili on a trip to The Centre for French Colonial Life & the Bolduc House in Ste. Geneviève, where we toured Missouri's incredible offering of 18th-century French vertical log cabins.
