We received a postcard, in French, from the Mirth in a Box researcher team who went to Marseilles to verify the existence of Le Petomane. With a bit of help from a French dictionary we think it says the following:
Dear Gay, Jill and Anne,
Bon Jour! Le Petomane lives on!
Greetings from Marseilles aka France’s Windy City!
Le Petomane was a real person and his progeny are alive and well. Seems his “forte” was passed on (no pun intended) to is grandson who runs this “hotel” we are staying in. The walls are paper-thin.
We’ve had a gas but are ready to come home.
Sincerely,
The Lab
