Historical
 Robert
Isaac is the architect of the Agen-Corpus Christi
Twinning Committee, a port city in Texas with about
300,000 souls. At first glance, one might think
that chance is at the origin of the seal of
friendship between the capital and the country of
cowboys. But it's not counting on this old man with
very wide culture. A living encyclopedia, the
elected official goes back to 711, when we invade
the current Spain. From the recapture of Toledo by
Christians in the eleventh century of 1992 in
Seville, 500 years after the discovery of America
by Christopher Columbus, through the sale of Texas
by Louis XV to Americans, there is a step. To find
out more about the historical details of the
"Golden Triangle", Agen-Toledo-Corpus Christi, is
still to let the former elected municipal.
The
fact remains that the Texans participated in the
landing of August 1944 in Saint-Raphaël, that
since the Universal Exhibition, the latter are
closer to the Agen, that today a white flag with
lily overhangs each ceremony official in Texas and
that the name of this state comes from "tejas",
which means ally or friend in Hispanic Indian
dialect.

It
was in 1994 that Paul Chollet, the former mayor of
Agen, his partner and the Isaac couple founded the
Circle of Friendships between the city and Corpus
Christi. This toponym does not originate from a
faith more pregnant than elsewhere but simply
because the Spanish captain who planted his flag on
these lands, did it on the day of Corpus Christi,
that is to say sixty days after Easter.
The
Chollets and Isaac go once and only to this coastal
city, fourth port of the United States. A year
later, the one who took positions of responsibility
at Urssaf, at the primary health insurance fund
(CPAM) and then at the Family Allowance Fund (CAF),
sends young people on internship to high-tech
companies . For example, a certain Yann Huerre
exported the pancake recipe or an American would
have joined Washington's diplomat school by
disserting on Brax's stuffed tomato.
The Agen-Corpus Christi Twinning Committee was
born.
Today,
Robert Isaac passed the baton of the presidency to
Maurice Cottenceau and the exchange, minimum three
weeks, continues.
