K.T. Robbins returned to France for the anniversary of D-Day and reunited with Jeannine Ganaye for the first time in 75 years. A veterans group, a neighbor, and a French journalist want to keep them connected.
Dima AmroMEMPHIS, Tenn. – The love story of nonagenarians K.T. Robbins and Jeannine Ganaye spans 75 years and two continents. Now, after a brief reunion in France, it appears there is another chapter to be written for these two wartime darlings.
They spent almost three months together and fell in love, but duty called and Robbins was sent to the front lines and then returned home to Memphis. Their second chapter started when Linda Tosh, Robbins' neighbor found a Facebook post about a Forever Young Senior Veterans trip to France in honor of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. She helped Robbins fill out an application.
Hight contacted France 2, a French news channel, hoping they could find Ganaye – and they did thanks to Agnes Vahramian, a France 2 correspondent in Washington, D.C.Brad Vest/The Commercial Appeal She said she stumbled upon Ganaye's brother, Daniel, who said his sister remembered the American soldier."I called Jeannine, but she 'needed time to know if she wanted to meet with him again,'"Vahramian said. "It took me a few days to convince, because she was afraid of the others' opinions and to be misjudged."
