Thanks for you reply here and apologies again for my disorganization and tardiness. In fact it was more difficult than I thought to find something useful, and I was still looking for a good quote to include, but I think what you have put above is fine. - According to an advert on p138 of the Panurge/Le Cid Avant-Scene book (1994), the Association was founded in 1990 [L’Avant-Scène Opéra 161 – Panurge ~ Le Cid. L’Avant-Scène Opéra, Paris 1994]. - I think most people ended up with some class of Légion d’Honneur, so not really essential (I did not notice that he has the category).  I will try now to improve some of the related articles.
