In Memoriam


(Scroll to below the last article, for a full list of Lycee alumni and staff who are deceased, to our knowledge.)

Avis de Décès:

Mme. Helene Schettino, who was the school's receptionist from 1975 to 1996, passed away in April, 2007.

Pierre Blanchenay ('61)

Anne (Giraud) Lamassiaude ('61) nous a communiqué cette triste nouvelle: "Notre camarade Pierre Blanchenay qui a fait parti du lycée pratiquement de la maternelle à la première, s'est éteint le vendredi 1er juin. Je crois que pas un de ses 'classmates' ne sera indifférent à cette triste nouvelle. Il était l'élément fédérateur de la classe, le fondateur du club de théâtre, et un "malade imaginaire" inoubliable. Malheureusement cette fois, la maladie n'était pas imaginaire. Il a fait preuve d'un immense courage et ne s'est jamais départi de son humour, même dans les moments les plus durs."

Jill Newman Iversen ('61) also shared her thoughts: "I was horrified to hear about the passing of our classmate, Pierre Blanchenay, if for no other reason than as recently as May 29, Catherine Temerson, Jean-Claude Valode, Pierre and I were making plans to reunite at his home in Versailles at the end of June. For the past few years the four of us have been gathering together every summer when I go to Paris, to sit around and prendre un verre, as they say, and reminisce about the good old days (which were not necessarily always so good, but that makes it even more fun!) at the lycée. Last year, I remember he even drove me home at the end of the evening, because my hotel was at the end of nowhere and we weren’t sure if the metro was still running, and we sang old Georges Brassens songs en route....and even remembered most of the words!
That was Pierre Blanchenay in a nutshell. With all the kudos and the honors and the awards and the degrees, he could still sing out 'Pauvre Martin, Pauvre Misere' nearly a half century after we all had first heard it. It’s a heartbreak indeed."
