Amanda Eurich, Ph.D. 1988, is on sabbatical this year working on a book, “A Life in Letters: The Correspondence of Jean de Coras.” It examines of the career of the sixteenth-century Toulousan judge famous in his time and ours for his memoirs of that prodigious French peasant, Martin Guerre.  In the summers she enjoys travelling with her husband, whose work as a wine distributor and educator often takes them to France, where she gets to spend time scoping out new vineyards as well as new material in the archives.
