A timepiece sustains time
Dear Nicolas
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.

Well, at least, we don't have to forget that. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas
He was a genius...
Interesting info on Mr. Chaplin on Wikipedia. I have family in Switzerland near Vevey, Chexbres, et Lausanne, and my Mom ('Maman') was from the Canton du Valais, and so I spoke French before I ever spoke English. I also had an aunt, Tante Marie-Angel, who...
