This is my portrait taken in Casablanca at the Bernal studio a year before leaving for Israel. M. Bernal was a photographer, but more importantly he was the King's jeweler. He also made custom jewelry for my mom, Annette Foinquinos. He often showed us pieces destined to the Moroccan court, dignitaries and presidents of other countries. It was for me a lesson in beauty, design and excellent craftmanship.
After my father death in Tangier, Cathy and I left for Israel. I was placed in a french school in Jerusalem then in Natanya, where my mom lived too. I got married to a french, and I lived in Tours, Orleans, Besancon in France where I got my master degree in Law. I lived after that in Lausanne and Geneva in Switzerland before coming to the States 20 years ago. I studied management at UCLA and I am a Human Resource Director. A true nomad! I also have a 10 year old daughter, Anais, who is by far, the best thing I ever did!
