1987Class Notes ArchivesFrom February/March 2001 AALFNY Newsletter: **Kenneth Smith writes us from Mexico: "The web site is great, and I want to congratulate you for all the efforts you have made to keep the Alumni Association going." He has a year and a half old son who is already going to a mini-cours (classe tout-petits) so that he can go to the Lycée Français down in Mexico City in a couple of years! Kenneth is working as chief of staff of the Undersecretary of Trade of Mexico, working primarily on negotiations of free trade agreements such as the one recently concluded with the European Union. His classmate, Ali Haddou, works in the Trade Ministry in Mexico, at the Federal Commission on Regulatory Improvement. From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter: **Radhouane Tekaia writes: "Great site! It's so funny to read about Kenneth and Ali. I myself joined the Tunisian Ministry for International Cooperation and Foreign Investment in 1992. I'm the head (since 1997) of the London office of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency, which does what it says on the label. Anyone else in London from the class of 87?" **Sophie Gest: "Je réside à Abidjan depuis 1992. Je gère une régie publicitaire (supports d'affichage, presse, internet, recherche de sponsoring.) La vie à Abidjan n'a pas été de tout repos ces derniers temps avec les nombreux coups d'état ou tentatives de déstabilisation. Je guette donc les opportunités de m'expatrier dans un 'coin plus tranquille'... A bon entendeur ! J'espère avoir des nouvelles de mes copains de promo." **Christine (Oury) Foucher: " My brother Pierre Oury '85, gave me the Lycee's website address. In June 2000, after 5 years in Montreal, Quebec, my family relocated to Denver, Colorado, where my husband was starting a new position with his company. I had to leave my job as PR Manager for L'Oréal Canada and am now working for an advertising/marketing/PR firm in Denver. I am enjoying the challenges of an agency and the diversity of clients, not to mention the scenery and climate! Our son, Mathieu, is now 2 years old." **Franck Blondel a eu une licence d'économétrie à la Sorbonne, et a ensuite intégré la Fnac. Ensuite il a travaillé chez Office Depot et a fait l'ouverture des 5 premiers magasins en France, en tant que Manager Achats pour 25% du CA (produits pour le bureau, téléphonie, fax, imprimantes...). Depuis '98, il est chez Hewlett Packard, encore une société américaine; manager pour l'Europe d'une famille de produits et a en charge les résultats et la vente de cette gamme dans 22 pays. Bref, pas le temps de s'ennuyer! A part ça, il compose des chansons (parole et musique). Il habite Grenoble; marié, papa de Bryan,13 mois. **Micheline Dugué, MD is a geriatric psychiatrist specializing in the evaluation of older people for memory disorders. She is the clinical director of the Geriatric Psychiatry Clinic at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and has been a member of the Alumni Association of the LFNY for over two years. Micheline sent the Alumni Council a postcard from Mount Everest! She celebrated her 31st birthday with a trip to India and Nepal in March. From Winter 2002/2003 AALFNY Newsletter **Natasha Bult writes: « Thank you so much for this wonderful Newsletter with information on classmates. I am trying to get in touch with Helen Nguyen's mother to write my condolences. How sad. As for an update, I wished to let you know that I am living in London. I graduated in 1991 from Princeton where I studied Art History and Visual Arts, concentrating on Photography. Photography became my passion and I went out to Arizona to study with my teacher's teacher, the eminent Frederick Sommer, in an apprenticeship. Thereafter, I began setting up a Photographic Programme in London, which was no mean feat! Four years ago, I was joined by my associate Margaret Mann, and we have formally founded The School of Black and White Photography, fully accredited, and offering many exciting Programmes in all aspects of Photography. We are slowly linking up with some schools in the US. I see Julien Sevaux, now a banker, here in London, as well as his sister, Claire. Astrid Froidure has, I heard, moved away although I am not sure where. I am always happy to have news of anyone...” **Sebastian Fernandez says hello from NY, where he lives with his wife, Mara Leventhal, and two children, Maximilian and Gabriel. **Silène Braida habite maintenant La Grande Motte en France. From March/April 2002 AALFNY Newsletter: **François Guiraud travaille chez Lehman Brothers à Londres. **Christine Foucher-Oury writes: “My brother Pierre Oury ‘85 gave me this link. I wanted to get back in touch. In June 2000, after 5 years in Montreal, my family relocated to Denver, Colorado, where my husband started a new position with his company. I had to leave my job as PR Manager with L'Oréal Canada and am now working for an advertising/marketing/PR firm in Denver. I am enjoying the challenges and diversity of clients, not to mention the climate and scenery! Our son, Mathieu, is now two years old.” **Serge François has a Masters in Library Science and is currently working as a librarian in Kansas City. He is also preparing another Masters at St. Paul’s University/ School of Theology. Serge is married to Dr. Anne Danielson who is doing research for the Univ. of Kansas. They hope to be back on the East Coast in a few years! **Cécile (Argenson) Lefèvre nous écrit : «Quelle ne fût pas ma surprise de retrouver peut-être les traces d'une de mes meilleures amies de New York, Aida Wane ‘88, que je croyais disparue de la surface de la Terre ! A chaque réception de vos courriers c'est une joie de se replonger dans ces bonnes années passées dans votre Lycée que de souvenirs! Maintenant je suis mariée, maman de deux enfants Hubert 11 mois et Marie-Charlotte 30 mois.Responsable Commerciale dans une société d'HLM. Bref, tout va bien. J'espère avoir bientôt de vos nouvelles et surtout de me permettre de renouer avec ces années.» From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Christine Oury-Foucher writes: “Here's an update on what's going on in my life: our second son Alexandre was born in June. Our eldest, Mathieu, is 4. We are still living in Denver!” From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Sophie Gest nous écrit: "J'exploite avec mon compagnon un hotel restaurant gastronomique dans le Gers." ● Olivier Poncet says hello to all of his old friends from the Lycee and hopes that they are all doing well. He is extremely happy to finally be back in NYC after a 5-year stint in the suburbs (pas recommendé), and is now living a mere two blocks from the new Lycee building (this was on purpose: he is looking forward to sending his beloved daughter, Colette, who turns 2 at the end of October, to the Lycee starting next year, and is currently going through the interview / application process, etc). He has been working at Deutsche Bank in NYC for over 7 years now, and is currently Business Manager for the Private Client / Private Wealth Management division). It was thrilling to see a message from Ken, with news of him and Ali, two of my best buddies (and first band-mates) back then, along with Steve Siegel of course (long live Chestnut Dessert). Would love to get back in touch with any of my old classmates if any of you are still lurking around this wonderful city... (Marc Doo Kingué, où es-tu?!?)" ● Pierre Oury ('85) shared this with us: "My sister, Christine Oury ('87), now has two small boys Mathieu and Alexandre and currently lives near Denver, Colorado with her husband Joel. She works for a satellite/telecommunications company." ● March 11th marked another birthday for Micheline Dugué '87. About a dozen alumni joined Micheline's family and other friends to celebrate at the Union Square area restaurant, Lucy. Top-notch sangria flowed and platters of great scallop “ceviche” arrived and were quickly emptied. Alumni revelers included Natalie Yates Cacciato '78, Jeremy Yates '74, Susan Schwenger '80, Vanessa der Calousdian ’94, Druce Vertes '83, Alessandra Gagliardi '86, Gloria Tulliu '73, Jackie Tolkowsky, and Mathieu Moulin, among others... They brought their good cheer and gifts of books-- rather like the old days of the distribution des prix! |
