I can't seem to find an email address for you and anyway, it's now six years later. I have no idea if this will reach you, but if it does, please check out my attempt to reach you on Linked In. I can also be found there. I'd really like to say hello.

What a wonderful story!....I came ...Dear Jeffrey, <br /><br />What a wonderful story!....I came across your blog while researching a book about Jacques Villeglé (now aged 90), who was one of the Nouveaux Réalistes with Arman, Klein, Restany, and the gang. I just Googled Jeanine de G.'s name and up you popped. I lived in Paris in the 1980s and my brother Winston Conrad is the author of "Hemingway's Paris", so your typewriter saga resonates on many levels. My late father was the author of "Matador", a best-selling novel in 1952 that Hemingway commented about. Dad's best friend in San Francisco was the long-time columinist Herb Caen, whose words appeared in the SF Chronicle for some 50 years. I recently inherited one of Caen's typewriters, his "loyal Royal" as he called it. The clicktety-clack seemes to focus the mind...Ah, for the good old days of typewriters!
