1970Class Notes ArchivesFrom March/April 2002 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Sylvia Flescher writes: “I have made the transition to suburban life happily. My daughters, Rebecca, 14, and Sophia, 11, keep me busy and challenged. As a mother I have come to appreciate more fully the excellent education I received at the Lycée. I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in my town (my office is 2 blocks away from my home). My husband, Tom Marcyes works as a film editor for ABC-TV's news show, 20/20." ● Suzanne Singer writes: “After earning a Masters' degree in Journalism, I spent 20 years as a television producer and programming executive, primarily for PBS (public television). I produced and programmed news and public affairs shows, as well as a series for pre-school children. My last television job was as executive producer for the documentary series, POV, for which I won two National Emmys. Five and a half years ago, I decided to leave television and pursue a different life path. I am currently attending Hebrew Union College, the seminary for the Jewish Reform movement, where I am studying to be a rabbi. If all goes well, I will be ordained in May of 2003. Aside from taking classes, I am also working on a thesis and serving as a rabbi for a small congregation in Victoria, BC, which I visit for one weekend a month. I currently live in Los Angeles with my husband, Jordan Lund, an actor and a Web producer. We have no children aside from our two cats, but are very fortunate in having seven nieces and nephews, to whom we are very close, living nearby. I hope that some of my classmates who graduated in 1970 will send in some news as well. Our year seems to be the only one without any Class Notes." From Winter 2002/2003 AALFNY Newsletter ● Carole (Hanania) Pinto, currently living in Paris, has established herself as an art dealer, « specializing in late XIX and XX century oils and works on paper by lesser known European artists. The works include colorful seascapes, intimate portraits, provincial landscapes as well as scenes of Paris; many of the artists have extensive bibliographies, and are represented in museums and collections throughout Europe. » Carole writes: “It's rather fantastic to run into old school friends half way round the globe, thirty years after graduation! That's just what happened last week, when I heard someone call my name at the Hotel Drouot in Paris. I turned around and recognized Sabine Hugueny ‘70, who was not only at the Lycée with me but also worked on Wall Street with me after we both finished Business School. She is now running an antique business out of London. We got together with a third alumnus, Laurence Falzon ‘70, who lives in Paris and spent the evening talking about so many things - it was amazing how much we had to catch up on! » ● Debbie (Heller) Lifschitz writes : « Married To Dr. Moshe Lifschitz (Orthopedics) for 27 years. 5 children (2 married), youngest 12 yrs. 5 grandchildren. We host tourists and lecture on current events.
