A family member found this letter while going through some old items. While my French has become a bit rusty over the years, I believe this is a letter written to an unknown penpal.Briefly the letter describes a technical school in Voiron, France. Worth noting is the author's description of the cafeteria and the dormitories. He says that the cafeteria is
very very [his emhasis; not mine]well organized with approximately 60 marble tables arranged in two rows with a 150-meter aisle going down the middle of them. The dormitories he describes as having between 50 and 55 beds a piece.Now check out the archival photos I found on the net of the very thing he was describing by clicking here and cyber-visiting the Lycee scientifique at technologique.

Anyone know who Leon Berus is?
