Soon to be leaving Paris, but one more Dutch card to send first. MV asked in a recent comment for a reminder about Calvin's stay in Paris. He received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of Paris. By the timing, this would have been after his graduation from Capital University in Columbus. In 1957 he received a PhD from Duke in Literature, writing his thesis on English poet,
John Milton (1608-1674). Milton spent several years abroad and time in Paris 1638-39.

Paris
Al, this is a picture of a Dutch family on one of the islands. Spent 4 days there and the bulb fields very beautiful – like an open air greenhouse. Spending a week in Paris, and then to London. Glad we are not [on]
a conducted tour and can stop and go as we please. Hope things are fine with you. – Harold Uible
