Q & A with Benoit Guin
Principal
What was your favorite childhood past-time? Picking my nose, torturing my brothers, watching very bad TV series.
Do you play any sports? I like to play tennis, ski, rugby and go sailing. I love watching Football (the real one that Americans call soccer).
Where is your favorite spot to vacation, and where do you have your next vacation planned? My favorite spots to vacation are Brazil, Costa Rica and France. Due to the economy I have my next vacation planned in my backyard.

What was your very first (or worst) job? My very first job was Vendangeur (working the grapes harvest) in the South of France. It was also my worst.
