Duclos is pronounced doo-CLO.
Mireille is mere-AYE.  Somewhere between the a in May and the i in Sigh, but closer to ay.
Stephane is of course ste-FAHN.
Bertrat is bear-TRAH.
Final consonants in French are generally not sounded unless they are followed by an e. (Or, in some dialects, if the next word in the sentence starts with a vowel, in which case they will elide - I had a Parisian instructor who did this.  "Duclos était" would normally be "du-CLO ay-TAY," but she would turn it into "du-CLO zay-TAY."
é = ay, è = eh.  (may/send)
-ez as a verb ending is also ay
Diacritical marks are important!  I assume Dr Michaud-Carre is Michaud-Carré, in which case it's mee-SHOW cah-RAY, but if there's really no accent on there it's mee-SHOW CAR.
th is usually pronounced as a hard t.  Théatre = tay-OTT-r'.    I can't think of any exceptions to this right now.  That's why Frenchmen in English usually talk like zis - they lack the phoneme in their native tongue.
need to know how to say something i will try to transliterate based on an American Standard accent
