Hi Sports Fans.This is a quickie homepage that mate J.P. (Fentress) put together about me. ''.... M-a came here to USA from France ( Versailles) when she was about 16. Her Mother, Marie, was from Czechoslovakia and was related to the Hapsburgs....and she acted accordingly. Her idea of aristocracy in France was to pretty much relax, tell others what to do, and to work little M-a's hands to the bone....

M-A moved initially to the San Diego area and lived with a Seventh Day Adventist family (!) ; the daughter of whom she had met in boarding school in Collonges, France. (You will possibly find it interesting that J.P.'s lineage also is from France going back to the Ventrouze region in the red market area of France (East of Normandy & west of Paris ).

She married Tony Le Hardy, a former RAF pilot who later worked for NATO....where Marie-anne learned her 'party skills'....

Gabriella's maternal grand mother (Marie) is shown below and you will note that she and Gabriella have a similar smile. Gabriella whowas 2 1/2 at the time shows strong character and opinions as does her mother, Monique ....and (on occasion) her Grandmother Mrs Le Hardy.....'' ..
