Last month the Mercedes-Lechene family of Steelton hosted LEC student Dimitri Karayan, whose name was mentioned in a newspaper article about the host family. It's interesting how the Internet takes people to all sorts of places they could never know about otherwise!
[To LEC Capital Region:]
Just read "The French connection: Central Pa. families host exchange students ..." in the Patriot-News online, which came to me because of my Google search agent on the term "karayan."LEC sounds like a great organization; congrats to you, and to the organization.
Although my family and I grew up in Los Angeles, all four of us have studied French -- my children are fairly fluent; I have made several people in France good naturedly laugh with mine -- and have visited France several times. My wife and daughter are in Paris right now.
I teach accounting at a small liberal arts University in Los Angeles. If we can ever be of service, let us know.
