I have spent already two nostalgic hours searching for my former students and colleagues. But it's quite rejuvenating and fascinating. Thank you for this enormous amount of work. If I can make a suggestion, more pictures will be welcome." Odile Degail (Former Prof. of Economics) "Great job, thank you so much!" Gautier Willm (Former member of Administration) "I just went to see the Alumni website, and I spent hours going from one link to another! Its priceless to be able to have news from people who shared a very special time in a so particular and multicultural place as the LFNY. Merci d'être un relais aussi précieux!" Cécile Bourlange, former librarian for the primary school ('96-'05) "You are to be heartily congratulated for having put new life in the LFNY Alumni Association. I know how difficult it is to pump life into such an organization and you and your colleagues have done a great job. Keep it up and keep it going. All the best, Un tres Ancien Ancien!" Maurice Raviol ('44) Editor’s note: Maurice is one of the founding members of the AALFNY. The other five are: Kevin Egan ('48), Ellen (Ehrlich) Mimran ('51), Pierre Lorsy ('53), Esther Asper ('44 --deceased), and Jean Arabo ('46) "I think you're doing a fantastic job for both the Lycee and its alums." Gabrielle Griswold ('44) "You did a great job! Thank you. And I have forwarded the newsletter to the members of Alix Deguise`s family." Eléonore M. Zimmermann ('49) "Pour ne pas être un trouble-fête, mais . . . j'ai devant moi la brochure du LFNY, Automne 2005, digne de celles des grands magasins de la 5e avenue. Le grand problème dans ce bouquin est l'existence d'une autre association des anciens régie par un C.B. Kende, tête du comité d'anciens élèves. Il y a aussi une longue liste d'anciens perdus. Le format - prénom/nom de famille - fait une comparaison avec le votre très penible. En plus, les recherches commencent en 1968. Est-ce qu'on nous considère comme croulants ou macchabées? :-) Et le site, alumni@lfny.org , est criblé de messages, 'en construction' ou 'page demandée est introuvable' Je m'excuse mais tout ceci m'a un peu tracassé car l'esprit cartésien est un legs de la 95e rue et les complications inutiles sont toujours de trop." John Clarke ('51) "I am delighted to hear from you and read about the Association. It's like the distant past catching up with you. I shall look forward to reading your newsletter. Thank you for getting in touch." Michel Strauss ('54) "I sure appreciate all the great work you are doing." Waldemar Kasriels ('56 et Prof.) "The newsletter looks not only terrific, but informative and relevant! Congratulations!! I have been considering offering a similar service to my college class Columbia '61 and you are an inspiration." Philippe de la Chapelle ('58) "You're doing great things for the Alumni, congratulations!" Philippe de La Chapelle ('58) "I read with great interest the "Alumni and Prof's on the Internet" column in your latest issue." Dr. Alexander Rossolimo ('58) "Thank you for your efforts in trying to find us (my sister and myself). It is most appreciated. I will be visiting the site and taking advantageous of the offer to find our classmates... Bravo pour l'excellent travail." Catherine Loudes ('61) "You are doing a wonderful job of helping us all to keep in touch with old friends--or, as in my case, to get back in touch with them. Hats off to you. I'm grateful to be able to peruse the whole web site." Michel-André Bossy (’61) "Thank you so much for sending me this. I read it with great alacrity--and appreciation." Jill Newman Iversen ('61) " 'Bravo' for [your] web site qui réunit les anciens élèves du lycée français de NY." Hervé Ségalen ('61) " J'en profite pour vous complimenter pour le travail effectué avec les anciens du Lycée Français de New-York. C'est dans cette école que j'ai vécu les meilleures années de mon enfance." Paule (Magloire) Bernardin ('62) "Wonderful work on the Lycée Alumni web page!...Fun to see names of classmates that I had forgotten about." Michel Vonderweidt (‘64) "The site is vastly improved! Your tribute to Tibou is excellent - Thank you." Sandra Haas ('65) "Je viens d'apprendre la nouvelle de la mort de M. Claude Choquet, et en lisant les lignes que lui dédie Gabin Christian Langue Tsobgny ’85, je demeure frappé en y retrouvant exactement les mêmes traits que j'avais remarqués et appréciés comme élève de M. Choquet... vingt ans auparavant! Cette constance dans l'effort didactique et intellectuel de ce professeur exceptionnel, certainement celui dont les enseignements m'ont le plus marqué au cours de mon passage au Lycée, me semble digne de mention en ce moment où plusieurs générations d'élèves de Philosophie du Lycée new-yorkais lui rendent ce dernier hommage." Victor de la Serna ('65) "I can't tell you what an emotional moment it was to read about some of my classmates mentioned on the website. When I started in 1953 (I have all the yearbooks if you need them) the classes were small and we all new each other. I knew Naomi Schor even though she was two years older. I was very sad to hear about her passing. I remember you [Roger Liwer ‘68] as being the tallest in your class (two years younger). Robert Ayache is the only person I kept in touch with on and off. I will now be keeping in touch with the Alumni." David Passigli (’65) "Encore félicitations pour le site." Henri-Armand Kohn ('66) "I have looked forward to your emails over the years and enjoyed reading about my fellow alumni.....You are doing a great job!" Elizabeth (Loudes) McLaughlin ('66) "Congratulations on a job very well done!" Diana Henry ('66) "Seeing [the pictures of Martin Kieffer] and reading the related articles actually brought tears to my eyes! He really was one great guy and amply deserved the award. The world needs more of his kind. [My sister] Jacqueline will be very touched by his words because I know she cared for him very much." Raymond Morini ('66) "Just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in trying to locate my long lost friends. By the same token, I take this opportunity to compliment you on your excellent job performance in giving so many of us the opportunity to renew our old ties and friendships." Yola (Magloire) Lanzlinger ('66) "I tried out your "find a classmate" What fun! You are doing a great job. Thank you." Elisabeth Loudes ('66) "Thanks and congratulations for an unabated dedication to the news letter. It keeps them young, as they say.... Keep on trucking." Dominique de Ziegler ('67) "Kind regards and congratulations for the good job your are doing." Camille (Nathan) Maseda ('67) "Thank you for the wonderful job that you are doing in keeping in touch so many old alumni of the LFNY." Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo ('67) "Thanks for all the Hard Work!" Alexandre de Bordes ('67) "Bonjour et merci pour ce dernier numéro du Journal des Anciens: vraiment très sympa à lire." Gerard Chetrit ('68) "Thanks to you and everyone involved in the web site and newsletter--great job!" Alexandra Bonfante-Warren ('69) "J'adore la photo de notre classe sur le site internet. Cela m'a permis de me souvenir de beaucoup de gens que j'avais oubliés." Carole (Vonderweidt) Hansen ('69) "What a wonderful site! I've periodically searched the Internet for info about the Lycée, and this time I hit the jackpot. You are doing a great job. I can't believe all the names I still recognize. I left the Lycée after Troisième as I left NYC, but I still have very fond memories of skating at Wollman Rink, fencing in the ballroom, New Year's Eve dinners at Patrick Jacques', parties in Glen Cove at the Marescot's, going to camp at M. Kasriels and on and on..." Puck Wullenweber (’69) "What a wonderful accomplishment! Here I was, sitting down at my desk trying to figure out shortcuts so I could let my staff out early, and waiting for some documents, and I become mesmerized by the Classnotes for the Class of '69, each name a memory, figuring out how to get in touch, etc. Just a note, though, is in order first to thank you for all you've done and are doing." Steven O. Goldschmidt ('69) " 'La nostalgie n'est plus ce qu'elle était,' some say. Well, to judge from the AALFNY website, nostalgia is certainly alive and well with the Lycée alumni. It brings back wonderful memories. I unfortunately haven't kept track of many of my classmates, apart from one obvious one - my wife, Jacqueline Moreau '69!- which is why it was such a joy to have discovered this website." Thanks and congratulations. Alphonse Bernard ('69) "I was delighted and astounded to get a call last week from Peter Laurence '66,with whom I hadn't spoken in more than 30 years. I have since looked at the alumni web site and the "Find a Classmate" feature. Congratulations on setting all this up. It was a great idea. I plan to contact some other old classmates - people I had given up hope of ever locating." Paul Bernstein ('69) "Bravo on the website and all the efforts you have put into this. I used to be part of the AALF and it has come a long way." Denise (Raab) Jacobs ('69) "As always.... Great job!!" Jacques Luben ('70) "I love reading the newsletter. Thanks for putting it all together!" Polly Estabrook ('70) "Bravo - great job re-organizing us all!" Sherry Morse ('70) "Congratulations. The newsletter looks great!" Jacques Luben ('70) "By the way, that is quite a database you have there!" Karin Link ('70) "Once again... Great job!!" Jacques Luben ('70) "Great job! Pictures are great." Ronald Grelsamer ('71) "Your site is great, found lots of treasures.....Nous voila bientot 20 sur une même liste de diffusion à vouloir nous revoir prochainement sur NY. [Votre] aide aide nous est précieuse et sans [votre] site nous n'y serions pas arrivé. Un grand merci." Jacques Vittori ('71) "Un tout grand merci à toi et à toute l'équipe de l'AALFNY ainsi que tous mes meilleurs voeux en cette fin d'année......C’est toujours avec autant de plaisir que je consulte le site des anciens" Manoële (Jacques) Dochy ('71) "Thank you so much for that new service you have established. You're doing a really great job!" Helene (Nathan) Ikonicoff ('71) "Just visited the AALFNY site and I want to congratulate you folks for the terrific redesign - I was deeply moved by the tribute to Martin Kieffer, the picture of Brodin in 1946, and all the other stuff." Jonathan Mandelbaum ('71) "Thank you so much for your information. Best wishes for all of you who are doing such great work!!!" Hélène (Nathan) Ikonicoff (‘71) "Keep up the good (no, great) work!" Jonathan Mandelbaum ('71) “Thank you for a great job.” Andre Decamps ('71) "Congrats on your performance for the alumni community." Bruno Combe ('72) "Very surprised that Promotion ’72 is missing! Maybe 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?" Gerard Salomon (‘72) "I very much enjoyed reading your newsletter, though sad to read so many untimely deaths. Perusing my yearbook, I saw that Gerard Crouzillat had signed it with his inimitable wit! And I saw that Dominique de Villepin, France's present minister of the interior, was two classes ahead of me! Now isn't life funny!" Rachel Kaplan ('73) "Thank you for all the effort of the association." Dominique Noel ('73) "Sorry I could not make it to the reunion, it sounded wonderful. Anyway, you have done a great job of sparking enthusiasm amongst the 'anciens'." Lizanne Siccardi ('74) "It was so much fun looking through the database and seeing the names of people I knew so well once upon a time.....Thanks for doing a terrific job with this!" Francine (Benzaken) Glick ('74) "Nice to hear from you and to know you're doing so much. I'm always visiting your website." Helene (Nathan) Ikonicoff ('74) "Thanks for organizing this wonderful list. I was contacted by one of my best friends." Odette Springer ('74) "By the way, thanks for the good work you guys (and girls) all put up, and for the initiative of the website. Overall, very convenient." Olivier Paul ('74) "I'd like to thank you for the many hours you devote to our alumni association. I really do appreciate the generous contribution of your time." Avram (“Butch”) Kaplan ('74) "Your web site is dynamite." Diane Rivers ('74) "I certainly enjoyed the letter. The site is really well set up, interesting information. The list of (so many young) deceased people is quite confronting, in a sense shocking." Jan Willem Van Der Klaauw ('74) "Merci pour votre aide et pour le bon travail de l'association des anciens." Michèle Laguerre ('74) "Thanks for the good work and keeping in touch!" Guilaine Auguste ('75) "I think it's great that you have tried to keep the alumni connected in some way!!!" Lisa Jordan ('75) "Congratulations for the LFNY Alumni website, its very existence is a powerful statement and link." Jean-Marc Jacot ('75) "Bravo – and congratulations for your great work! It’s always so nice to go back to the ”good old time” and lovely “memory lane”. Endless thanks to you and all the ones who contribute to give me the shivers…!" Guilaine Auguste (’75) "Merci pour les informations des anciens, cela fait chaud au coeur d'avoir des nouvelles." Béatrice Gassie ('76) "Tout d'abord merci pour le travail réalisé avec l'AALFNY. Les 30 ans de '76 approchent et c'est agréable de se reveiller un matin, se demander "que sont-ils devenus?" et de voir qu'une équipe a tenu la boutique et a fait tout le travail, même si on se sent un peu coupable de ne pas y avoir participé.......Meilleures Salutations." Marc Anger ('76) "I would also like to thank you for creating such a wonderful data base available for all alumni to use, for it is a great tool for other alumni to get in touch with each other." Audrey Bodner ('76) "Thanks for doing such a great job at keeping all of us sprinkled throughout the world somewhat linked and focussed!" Patricia Lane ('77) "I can't tell you how much I look forward to receiving the announcement of the latest newsletter. It's a great way to keep up with news about friends from the past." Marc Hyman ('77) "Good work, thank you!" Jordan Stern ('77) "Merci de permettre aux anciens de se retrouver." Beatrix (Peponnet-Morlot ) Fougeron ('77) "Congratulations on a wonderful newsletter! Thank you so much for including my news. I greatly appreciate it." Carla Rosen-Vacher ('78) "Congratulations, the revamping of the site is great. You'll be getting swamped by requests to find old classmates." Stéphanie Carson-Parker ('78) "J'ai eu connaissance de votre association et de votre site grace à Marie Christine (Fontanet) Gooseland '78 qui m'a retrouvé en Touraine 25 ans après mon départ de NY. C'est avec plaisir et émotion que je redécouvre des noms familiers faisant surgir des souvenirs et des visages que je croyais enfouis à jamais dans ma mémoire. Bravo pour votre dynamisme et continuez!" Jean Christophe Turot ('78) "Thanks so much. A great issue." Beck Lee ('78) "You are all doing a great job." Regine Benjamin ('78) "Thank you for all the work you and your team are putting in this big project." Dara Sourinho ('78) "Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to contribute albeit in such a small way to the Newsletter and keeping in touch with former 'lycéens'. Thanks for all your effort and enthusiasm and all the best to the whole team." Ignacio Pérez Caldentey ('79) "That looks really good!" Marie-Pierre LeBris ('79) "Congratulations on your work and the expansion of the database. I think it's a great way to get and keep in touch with former Lycée classmates." Ignacio Perez ('79) "Thanks so much for this information........ No excuse for not contributing to as helpful an organization as yours!" Laura Jereski ('79) [in response to assistance we provided] "Fantastic newsletter. Thank you. This is a wonderful edition, a huge amount of work on your part, I am certain." Stephen Allen ('80) "Thanks, team, for putting together the "Find a Classmate" service. It's great to see that so many alumni are listed!" Eve Greenwood ('80) "Je vous félicite également pour tout le dévouement que vous démontrez dans le cadre des activités de l’Alumni, et qui me permet d’avoir des nouvelles du lycée que j’ai tant aimé."

Thank you for sending the latest newsletter." Baret Boisson ('81) "By the way, great work ! Makes us feel a little old, but hey, that's how it goes!" Jean-Marc Monti ('80) "Thank you for keeping the newsletter going and all your efforts." Hillary Ray ('80) "Thank you so much for attending to the request of my dear friend to contact me.....Alumni Associations are so very important in making these kinds of wonderful connections happen over the years, in spite of the conflicting feelings we might sometimes have about them. I thank you very much for the good work that you are doing at The Lycee Francais of New York Alumni Association as it demands a lot of caring and dedication." Paule-Sylvie Yonke ('80) "Bravo pour le travail accompli sur le site." Beatrice (Callens) Gairin ('81) "I really enjoyed looking around at the new web site, and it brought back some good memories." Philippe Massonet ('81) "These email/internet communications for the Lycée Alumni Association are terrific, especially with, as you well know, former Lycéens spread out allover the world. In our family, we 3 sisters (Nadine '81, Isabelle '79 and Viviane '81) are in 3 different countries! It is really a perfect global medium for us alumni to stay (electronically) connected. Because the Lycée was such a special experience, it makes you want that much more to stay connected and be kept informed on what's up with other alumni- strangely, even more so as the years go by. Please send me absolutely anything and everything having to do with Lycée alumni news. I'd be interested in a reunion in Paris of Lycéens too I would expect there's quite a bunch of us here, mine de rien." Viviane Schiavi ('81) "You continue to do a truly remarkable job with the Lycee newsletters. I applaud your efforts; I'm sure it's not an easy task!" Baret Boisson ('81) "Thank you again for your great job, I appreciate it very much." Sophie Dupiech (’81) "Thank you for all your energy to keep contact with all of us. I'm very grateful." Caroline Danois-Maricq ('82) "Great work on the site, restarting the newsletter, etc." Daniel de Segovia Gross ('82) "Merci pour tout ce gargantuesque, mais néanmoins fantastique travail." Emmanuelle (Munera) Van Vleet ('82) "Thanks for the info and all the work to keep us connected ;-))" Julia Roederer-Paretti ('84) "This is a great initiative. Just finding the names of old classmates by browsing your site was great fun." Stéphane Massonet ('84) "I give you again many, many thanks and really lots of appreciation for your hard work keeping everyone networked, it is wonderful to have this net to fall back on, especially with events like this." Cornelia Messing (’84) "Thanks for all the work you are doing in keeping us all in touch! Isn't it wonderful that the distances and the timezone are no longer borders for us to reach each other?!" Geneviève Bax-Mejia ('84) "Excellent initiative - well done." Christian Waldvogel ('84) "Thank you! You've done a wonderfull job as always!" Gabriel Sylla ('85) "C'est toujours avec plaisir que je reçois de vos nouvelles, et de par votre travail, des nouvelles de mes camarades." Stéphane Bailby ('85) “Congratulations on the nice job your are doing with the newsletters and the alumni association as a whole! Because of you, many of us can reconnect……thank you Roger and all the volunteers!” Gabriel Sylla (’85) "Thank you for all your work for the alumni association." Jean-Edouard Courcier ('85) “Thank you and all the members of the Alumni Association for the good work you've been doing the past few years!” Olivier Nida ('85) "You guys are doing an amazing job! Thank you again!" Gabriel Sylla ('85) "I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the new website - it is user friendly and contains enough information to come back for a few more helpings. So much of the world uses computers and emails now, that establishing this new line of communication makes is easier for a lot of us to keep in touch. …I have stayed here in New York since graduating, and even though this city is not my place of birth, at this point in my life, I consider myself a native New Yorker. I had many friends working in the Towers, and I thank God on many occasions that every single one of them made it out alive…But as I was reading Pierre Oury (’85)'s class notes, I thought perhaps he was flying over New York yesterday, July 4th 2002, and felt reassurance that someone I had shared memories with so many years ago was taking care of us." Pascale Maré (‘85) "First of all let me thank you for the wonderful job you're doing. It's a great thing to get in touch with friends we haven't seen for more than 19 years, but it seems like it was only yesterday, because we had such great moments at the Lycée. Thank you very much." Fayçal Tadlaoui ('85) "Thanks! Keep up the great work! We all really appreciate your efforts in getting everybody reconnected." Sov Leang ('86) "....Je souhaitais aussi profiter de l'occasion de vous feliciter tous pour le site des Alumni, c'est vraiment un grand plaisir de garder le contact avec le Lycee grace a vous. Merci donc doublement!" Sophie Gest ('87) "Thanks for the mail and for including me in the network. Nice website and great initiative by the way! All the best and success for the alumni network."
