Congratulations to all of you for your babies and other wonderful accomplishments. I am still in New York, married a fantastic man named Wright Ohrstrom, and we now have two sons, Augustus"Auguste", 20 months old, and Tristan, now five months old. They are both learning French, of course. I've taken a break from work, but am busy being a member of the Board of Directors of the Yellowstone Park Foundation - a good excuse to spend more time in Montana. What else? I've become a pretty good fly-fisherman in the last five years - -maybe I'll show off and send in a picture of my 70 lb tarpon. hmmmm..." ● Dalia Sofer is the author of the recently released novel The Septembers of Shiraz, which, in addition to the United States, is being translated and published in eleven countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Brazil, the UK, and Hungary.

Nick ('90) is still at Goldman Sachs in London and currently heads up a large internal hedge fund (European Special Situations Group). Nick was promoted to Partner in 2006. Robyn is busier than ever and has made tons of friends in Surrey where we live. The kids are great and growing incredibly fast. Stephanie and Taylor are 6 years old (they turn 7 in January). Stephanie is into gymnastics and horse riding. Taylor is into soccer and basketball. Cole is 5 years old and the happiest boy in the world. He loves science and numbers (math!) and is learning to play the piano. Cole is also heavily involved with soccer and is learning to play golf (he likes to drive the golf cart). Owen, our youngest, just turned 2 last week and is a very big boy. He runs after his brother and sisters no end. He has recently started expressing himself with words (sort of) and he is developing his own little personality. We are happy in our little village of Walton on the Hill in Surrey. Dad's commute into London is tough but it is really great to be in the countryside for the kids. We will be spending the Christmas holidays in Atlanta, GA and Charleston, SC this year. We wish everyone health, happiness and best wishes for 2008." ----- From June 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● « L’auteur Eurydice Capo-Chichi, épouse Reinert, écrit depuis l’âge de 14 ans, et a publié entre autres, un recueil de poèmes intitulé « l’Oeil », en avril 2005. Cet écrit spirituel est le fruit d’une réflexion de longue haleine qui émane de la volonté de l’auteur de témoigner de la richesse que lui apporte la vie spirituelle au quotidien. Elle ose se livrer à travers cet ouvrage dans le but d’apporter un message porteur d’espérance aux autres, au regard de tout ce qui l’enrichit au cœur de sa pratique de la foi et qui se traduit de façon empirique et palpable. Ce livre a été conçu, par conséquent, de façon à le rendre accessible au grand nombre, dans une démarche de sincérité et de simplicité. » (From: http://www.euryuniverse.com/essais.htm) ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● David Pujol wrote: "Well, it feels like an eternity since I graduated from the Lycee. The most important news since graduation is that I got married on July 28, 2006 to a beautiful and smart woman from Argentina by the name of Alicia. We just recently returned from our Honeymoon in Bora Bora which was truly paradise. For now, we live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I know it's far from being an exiting town but you would be surprised how beautiful and peaceful life is up here. In terms of career, I am responsible for the North American business unit of a division of a French company, Lesaffre, the largest producer of bakers yeasts in the world. I work in the flavor industry in the ingredients side of the chain. I regularly go back to France for work but for fun too. Most recently I was promoted to Director of Global and Strategic Sales. Next step in life, well maybe a career change...maybe a child...maybe a new city or country or just maybe all of the above." ● En 2005, Cécile de Montebello a joué le rôle de Grétel dans Hänsel et Grétel, l'opéra en version française de E.
