French student joins area family for six weeks

By GAIL WIDMOYER “I like it (Syracuse) because of the lake,” commented Sophie Bertet, one of three foreign students from France who are spending six weeks in Syracuse as part of a linguistic holiday. “If you don’t live near the beach (in France) it is not possible to go. It is too expensive,” she explained about her home country. Sophie comes to the United States from the southern France town of Avignon which has an approximate population of 10,000. The 17-year-old daughter of wholesale jewelers, Sophie arrived in Syracuse on July 17 and is staying with John, Leilani, Michele and Johnnie Nemeth on Lake Syracuse until August 28. Also visiting Syracuse are Veronique Vachez and Pascal Rellier who are living with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Prescott and Mr. and Mrs. Denny Farmer, respectively. A total of 20 French students are staying in Kosciusko County at this time, through a program spearheaded by Marie Steffen of Milford. “It’s really been a pleasure,” said Leilani who assured her husband was “as excited about Sophie as I am. We’d do it again.” With her French accent, Sophie brings to Syracuse a touch of French customs, but her ultimate reason for coming to the US is to better acquaint herself with the English language. “We can’t even consider language a problem,” commented Leilani who noted Sophie’s English has improved in the few weeks she has been in Syracuse.

English is important to Europeans, explained Sophie, because “nearly everybody speaks English.” Sophie illustrated the importance of English as a communicator by saying she uses the language to talk to German and Italian friends.

Americanism In the American tradition, the Nemeths have numerous “jaunts’’ planned for their French guest including a trip to Cedar Point, the dunes, possibly Cook Nuclear Plant, Deerfield Village, Amish Acres, Shipshewana and possibly a trip to Washington, D.C. For her first few weeks in the area, Sophie was acquainted with sidewalk days and the Elkhart County Fair. Living on Syracuse Lake, she also learned the essential — how to water ski. There are so many activities keeping Sophie busy, she has very little time to miss her family in France. “I have new parents,” Sophie said about the Nemeths. America posed surprises for the French student from the time she arrived in Chicago. The first sight brought to her attention was the large number of cars in America. In France, automobiles are very expensive and students aren’t allowed to drive until they reach the age of 18. Mrs. Nemeth added, “The way we eat is also different,” explaining Sophie is used to a large meal in the afternoon and since the Nemeths live on the lake, “it’s Bomb group to meet in Tampa The 397th Bomb Group with its 596th, 597th, 598th and 599th Bomb Squadrons, will hold its sixth reunion September 30 through October 2 at the Holiday Inn, Tampa International Airport, Tampa, Fla. Former members of the World War II 9th Air Force B-26 Marauder group are asked to contact the 397th Bomb Group Association, Nevin F. Price, Secretary; P.O. Box 1786, Rockville, Md. 20850. This reunion will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the formation of the 397th Bombardment Group (Medium) at Mac Dill Field in Tampa on April 20,1943, and a ‘homecoming’ visit to now Mac Dill Air Force Base is planned. The last B-26 group to go overseas during World War 11, the 397th soon became known as the “Bridge for combat missions which began on April 20, 1944. At the peak of its combat history, the 397th struck the enemy’s communications during the Battle of the Bulge and received a Distinguished Unit Citation for a mission on December 23, 1944, when the group withstood heavy flak and fighter attack to sever a railway bridge at Eller, Germany, a vital link in the enemy’s supply line across the Moselle River. The mission cost the group many planes and men.

not unusual for us to just grab a sandwich at noon.” Besides meal plans, the type of food eaten in America is also different, but “some things are good,” continued Sophie. Cemeteries, squirrels and ducks were more new sights for the French student who is also learning colloquial sayings while in the area. “Oops” and “shutup” are two phrases she plans to take back to France because “there are no accents in those words.” Sophie is sorry that her home country isn’t as inviting to Americans as the US is to Europeans. Noting most Europeans want to come to the US, Sophie said, “Americans don’t want to come to France.” Sophie is a top student and upon returning to France, she plans to continue her studies and pursue a career in solar engineering.
