She was supposed to stay for a year but it has been 46...She and Patrick opened Le Petit Cafe in 1977, have two children, and are still working part-time, preferring to retire gradually rather than abruptly closing the door. She loves going back to Paris but has no intention of retiring there. "We will stay in Indiana where we belong," she says. "Besides, the French complain too much!"
