"You may call me Inspector Jacques Clouseau"

"You may call me Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the Pink Panther,"  insisted visiting Major LeBlanc, who spoke at a combined Ada Rotary-Kiwannis meeting on June 26 at The Inn at ONU.

He said this, speaking in a French accent. In fact, he started out his talk in French, switching to English - as an obvious joke. His opening lines broke the ice as he related his friendship with Mike Harnishfeger, Ada police chief.

LeBlanc talked about his one and one-half year experience in Afganistan. A video showing several Ada gifts being presented to the major are at the bottom of this story.

A story on the top of the home page includes the substance of his talk.
