Le Séminaire Oblat de Marie-Immaculée

At 11 I sang solo soprano in the Seminary choir. They required me to act the role of the Virgin Mary in each and every play that called for Her. I quit the Seminary at 13 because of facial hair. Had I toughed it out through it's full 10-yr course, I would now be wearing a size 54 cassock while looking obliquely at the new nun that blushes too easily, imagining all the ceremonies we could perform together.
Instead, I wear a size 40 sweatshirt (yeah! life is hard on the outside!) and I look at all the women, imagining all the ceremonies we could perform together. But now I can't sing shit. (Thanks Maria for lending me your voice)

What a handsome boy ! So by the time of this pic, around 1953, he is just about to learn english by reading "Popular Mechanics Magazines", is'nt he ? Even becoming successful in publishing in them a few years later !

Thanks to your generous comments ( not enought comments, 10 to 15 comments should appeared below when our beloved multi+talented God Jacques comes back from California to Mexico this monday, anonymous welcome).
Thanks to your (generous) comments, we have been able to know more about the past existence of our Jacques, quote : """"Quand tu venais a la maison les fins de semaines, nous etions toutes tes servantes!! ...
When our little brother came home on weekends from boarding school we served him like a prince 4 sisters."""""
The true reality is like that: old enough to know is the one and only older sister of Jacques.
The Jacques's Fan Club administration thinks that Jacques was served like a prince in his primal years , meanly by his three (3) younger sisters (Mama's orders) named as follow: ( names retained for later release). The Jacques's Fan Club would like very much to know from Jacques or from any other source, for our archives, if he was satisfied with the treatment received by his one and only older sister ? What about the (3) younger sisters, specialy the younger one ?

Beware of drunken imitations written in bad English by professional cynics! THE ONLY AUTHORIZED FAN CLUB FOR Jacques is located in the beautifully landscaped hills of Carlsbad CA, speaks the Queen's English and never asks questions!

We have a sad thing to tell you, the Jacques's Fan Club has just been dissolved. The reason for that is that this "hirsute" beach bum Jacques is no longer the model we need, we wont miss him. On one of his albums, there is a pic, on this pic there are people, chairs and tables, on one of these tables far at the end of the room, there is a matches cardboard, one little piece of the cardboard is missing, the cut is fully characteristic of a drug user who put a little roll of cardboard at the end of his marijuana cigarette or joint, like a filter.
Under thoses evidences that Jacques is clearly having wrong frequentations and that he may have himself smoke drug, then the Jacques's Fan Club administration decided to dissolve the Jacques's Fan Club.
From now on, all our organization will be put in use for someone else, named Jacques's Buddy
check this free pic to see one of numerous works of Jacques's Buddy

Long Live "Jacques's Buddy Fan Club"

Sorry, we did mix up in just above comment, Jacques is clean.
Jacques's Fan Club is in full resurection.
The true story is that just before Jacques's presence in the room where the guilty matches cardboard can be seen on a table far away in the pic, there has been a political rally.
old enough to know just made a confidential contact to tell the following story: "The candidate at the political rally was seen taking a matches cardboard, cuting a little piece and cleaning her front teeths before going to the micro for the political speech, the rest of the cardboard staying on the table.
Please Jacques accepts our full excuses for us having seen him as a 'hirsute' beach bum.
Also the "Jacques's Buddy Fan Club" is dissolved with full repossession by "Jacques's Fan Club".
God week !

More fun stuff Jacques! Thanks always!

Diporamax? Opening and resolving a fan club before the groupies arrive is not only in bad taste, it's pointless.

Several of us Coloradoans would gladly have thrown our underwear on stage, at Jacques, or even just out of sight. We're Underwear-Throwin' types here in the Mile High State. Colorado Springs is the best and worst of this. Some residents of that community even throw their underwear while wearing them, which is dangerous yet fun in a gonzo sort of way.

I do not want to interfere having just come here surfing the net,my name is Jacques, I think that the bottom of the Grand Canyon would be a nice place to make a animal-party with all fans.
The first official Jacques's Fan Club party.Don't forget to invite me.
