Morocco native Ginette Schray speaks on Atlas skiing and Nasser era
Marrakesh native and Roswell French teacher Ginette Schray told Rotarians at a Thursday luncheon that Atlas skiing in Morocco and the country’s changing politics reflect a land like New Mexico in parts. She described King Hassan as good for Morocco, the monarchy, and the nationalization of land, and noted French citizens face hurdles returning there. She recalled Marrakesh as the "Paris of the Sahara" and spoke of education, language, and her American life in San Antonio and San Francisco, ending with pride in being Americanized.
