During this holiday season,

Once again let's continue to do our part to make our world a worlderful place.

We feel blessed to have your friendship, and we wish you and yours good health and great happiness.

This year brought us additional joy with new grandchildren, Isabella Ina-Luisa, sister of Alexandre, arrived last May and Daniel Lacques, brother of Luck, arrived in September.

This even lope bears the "First Day Issue" cancellation of this year's holiday stamp ... a collector's item. Therefore, the envelope was not sealed for protection of the special cancellation.

Serge D'Rovencourt (1928-2017) was General Manager of the Portland Hilton.  He had also General Manager of Kona Hilton and worked at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
