Anecdotes

“It was not a quite selected moment to come in the world, during one so disturbed time! At five o'clock in the morning - a good bad " timing" - I released my first cry, on the scene of the life, on July 7th, 1938, it is at least what I believed until the day when, by making a request for a passport, I realized error; it was indeed registered on my certificate of birth, which I had seen the day on July 8th instead of the 7. That left well! Already with my birth, I was beside the " track". That did not change anything, and one has always continued to celebrate me the 7, for forty-three years. ”
