By John Robinson
for Linglestown Gazette

The Rittle family of Linglestown will be playing host to Octave Leborgne, 17, of La Chapelle-St-Mesmin, France, August 5-25. This cultural experience is sponsored by LEC, a Paris-based organization that has sponsored student visits since 1972.

Todd and Cindy Rittle live near the Colonial Country Club with their children, Jared, 16, and Lauren, 13. It was Jared who first heard of LEC, thanks to his then French teacher Madame Kathy Lipsett. This fall, Jared will begin his studies in the French IV class at Central Dauphin High School, after a nine-day tour of Paris, Normandy, and Brittany in July. He hopes to be able to use his knowledge of French for travel and for his chosen profession of engineering.
