**Rachel Kaplan writes: « After graduating from the Lycée Français in New York, I went on to attend Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. Since April 1994, I have been residing in Paris. I have developed a cultural tourism company French Links, which has hosted Tom Daschle, President Gerald Ford and Gov. Ann Richards, and since then have developed two others, British Links and European Jewish Tours. I have also published a series of illustrated art guides for Harry N. Abrams, Inc. “Little-Known Museums In and Around Paris, London, Berlin and Rome,” as well as a book in French, and an electronic guide to shopping in Paris, “Best Buys to French Chic.” While I am not married, I am happily in love with a Frenchman who happens to appreciate many aspects of American life and women. Now that's luck! »
**Gerard Salomon writes : « Very surprised that Promotion ’72 is missing! May be with the help of the rest of my gang - Gerald Sampson or Arthur Kulick we could cover up that big blank. Hey guys have you lost your computers to write ? »

Hala (Tomeh) Ibrahim wrote: "Nancy Pascal and I met for the first time since we graduated from the Lycee in 1972. My family and I went to celebrate our son's high school graduation in Antigua for one week. I wrote Nancy, who resides in Martinique, while I was in Jordan, not really expecting it to happen. But it did! She came with her husband, Marcel, during the weekend we were there. 32 years we have been writing to each other and we finally met. It was a happy reunion that happens in dreams, but we were fortunate that it was real. We talked so much trying to fit 32 years of things not said in our letters in two days. Best wishes to all who attempt to reunite."
Bambi Sloan wrote: "Moved to Paris in 1972, translated english & american films & TV series (including the series The Avengers ! ) for french TV to pay my art and graphic studies. Long story, but I became a fashion PR for top designers and opened my own business 25 years ago. Fashion PR is my main business but have branched out as an Interior designer and fashion consultant. Another long story but also owned and designed club in Notting Hill, London that we sold ( very sadly ) last year. I have a 19 year old son, Martin, and a 15 year old daughter, Billie Jeanne. Still see Sonia ( Simon ) who lives in LA, California and Patricia ( Astric ) who lives in Paris and works for Dior. Would be lovely to hear from you."
In Memoriam
**Bea Mezei-Rhodes ('73) sent us this sad news regarding Gerard Crouzilhat, '72: "I was browsing through the different class years on the Lycée website and realized that you are always searching for alumni information. I wanted to let you know that Gerard Crouzilhat, Class of 1972 passed away several years ago. I believe he died of a heart attack following complications with diabetes. Last I heard his mother was working at Bloomingdales in the city. That's all I know and wanted to pass it on."
**Patrice Claisse informed us that his wife Valerie (Noel) Claisse, '72 passed away in Octorber, 1995.
