Monsieur Gallard had attended the École Polytechniquefn1, had a good job at Citroën and was the president of the League of Fathers of Large Families; his wife, who was born a Rivière de Bonneuil, came from a great dynasty of militant Catholics, and was greatly respected by the parishioners of Saint-Thomas d’Aquin.
