Tom,
When we were there April of this year, but well after your trip, Jean Pierre and Pierre made a point of introducing us to the new owners. They were very pleasant though the wife only spoke French at the time. She was taking English classes with the intent of becoming more active in the hostessing end of the restaurant.
Jean Pierre indicated he was looking forward to the change and was actually planning to work as a lunchtime waiter only in an Old Street restaurant. He's long indicated he needed a change of pace - we first met him in the early 80's when he was a young man just starting out as a waiter there under the Captain's watchful eye, so I can imagine it will be a good thing for him to work a shift as opposed to half the day and half the night as he'd been doing for so many years. And he did indicate Leo would be staying on but Teresa was hoping to broaden her horizons and move into a different field somewhere else on the island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
