Fireflies and dandelions dance around the head of this Frenchman who was born in Lyon. His very credible intellect was noticed by government officials at an early age and was nurtured into early adulthood, when he was sent to the Georgia State School of Linguistics. With backing and encouragement from the French and the C.I.A., his English was polished and his accent removed. Gil was sent across the U.S. to extol the virtues of all things French. Unless you have NSC clearance, we are not allowed to communicate Gil’s extraordinary deeds.
