PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 82 Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer! I miss you so much. In February 2024, Tom and I took our first big travel adventure since the 2020-2021 Covid Pandemic. We flew to Paris, France. We booked a hotel very close to the world-famous Louvre Museum. We spent the next 8 days wandering this fabulous city. I took French class in the ninth grade.
