1967Class Notes Archives(Click on Pdf link ("related downloads") to the right, bottom, for more photo archives, and yearbook pictures) ----- From December 2011 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Françoise Fielding wrote: "Am still living in San Francisco, working in Real Estate, and travelling. Just got back from Jordan, Syria and Lebanon in May and am going to Patagonia in December. Am expecting my first grandchild (a girl) in February." ● Dominique de Ziegler chronicles his trip, with his son, sur le Chemin de St. Jacques, during the summer of 2011. (Go to Alumni Creative section of this newsletter, or click on link below) ● Dr. Ann Tabor is a Professor of Fetal Medicine at Copenhagen University Hospital. ● Dr. Daniel Frydman is a psychiatrist practicing in Paris. « Le docteur D. Frydman [est] spécialiste en psychothérapie, membre de la société européenne de recherche sur le sommeil. [Il] a participé avec sa femme, praticienne des méthodes de relaxation, à la création d'un service spécialisé dans l'étude et le traitement des troubles du sommeil. » ----- From November 2010 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dominique de Ziegler shares his reminiscences in his nostalgic "Au retour des Iles Marquises" (click on link below) ● Françoise Fielding wrote: "My oldest daughter (lawyer practicing in the areas of white collar crime and import-export violations at Latham & Watkins in DC) got married July 17th, 2010 (not-so-good photo of me walking her down the "aisle" attached). My work is going well. The downturn in commercial real estate has so far bypassed me (fingers tightly crossed). My partner and I spent a month in the 'Stans' this summer. It was an area I knew very little about and even though our itinerary had to be altered due to the recent unpleasantness in Kyrgyzstan, we had a great time." ● Mary Alpern wrote: "I went to fifteen different schools by the time I was 18 -- in France, Austria, USA, and Canada. Was at the Lycée twice, once in sixieme in 1959-1960 and then again in troisieme in 1963-1964. Did my bac a year late, in '68, in Montreal, and haven't used my French much since. I'm an academic librarian, I've taught at every level from pre-school to college. I have three grown sons, 34, 37, and 40, and two grandchildren. I've been politically active in various progressive/left/pacifist causes since Lycée days. Anyone remember a group that was called, I think, the inter-school council? I remember we went door to door in Stuyvevsant Town raising money for SNCC." ● Jane Trigere told us that her works of textile art will be shown in an exhibit entitled "A Stitch in Jewish Time: Provocative Textiles" at the HUC-Hebrew Union College Museum, in NYC, from September 7, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The exhibit showcases 41 "international textile artists [who] explore issues of Jewish history, culture, social justice, ritual, and sacred texts." (For further details, click on link below.)

(To read it, go to Alumni Creative section of this newsletter, or click on link below.) ● Catherine (Tabory) Shalen nous écrit: "Bonjour tout le monde, J'ai eu le grand plaisir de rencontrer Janie Trigere et Marthe Schulwolf l'annee passée. J'habite à Chicago où je travaille pour une bourse d'options. J'ai quatre petites filles et voici quelques photos. La Shana Tova, sans parler de Joyeuse Nouvelle Année." ● Mary Alpern wrote: "I went to LFNY twice, in septieme and in troisieme. I have three adult sons and one grandson. They all live in Ithaca. I live in South Carolina where it's warm and sunny. I'm an academic librarian, have an assortment of degrees including a PhD from Cornell. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me." ● In June, 2009, Mira Schor celebrated the publication of The Extreme of the Middle: Writings of Jack Tworkov, edited by her and published by Yale University Press. ● Nicolas (Jean-Jacques Tazartez) Peyrac: "Héros d’un come-back devant bien plus à son talent qu’à une quelconque nostalgie des seventies, Nicolas Peyrac prouve que la persévérance et le travail des vrais artistes peuvent venir à bout de toutes les faiblesses humaines. Né le 6 octobre 1949 à Rennes, Nicolas Peyrac, de son vrai nom Jean-Jacques Tazartez, grandit au sein d’une famille de médecins. Peu enthousiasmé par des cours de musique fort peu rock 'n' roll, le futur Nicolas a néanmoins la fibre musicale et se passionne pour Ferré et Brel. Le divorce de ses parents, au début des années 1960, l’amène à suivre sa mère, qui réside souvent aux Etats-Unis pour des raisons professionnelles : son séjour outre-Atlantique lui donne l’occasion d’élargir son horizon musical en découvrant la musique américaine. Au Lycée français de New York, l’adolescent épate les filles en leur jouant de la guitare : désireux de ne pas trop massacrer les morceaux, il pratique assidûment l’instrument, qu’il apprend à maîtriser au bout de quatre ans « à se pourrir les doigts ». C’est donc un jeune homme au tempérament artistique très développé qui revient en France : en 1968, il participe à l’émission de télé-crochet Le Jeu de la Chance, mais ne se qualifie pas pour la semaine suivante. Hors de question, de toutes manières, que ses parents lui laissent suivre une vocation de va-nu-pieds ; il doit entamer des études de médecine, qu’il suivra durant six ans......." (For the remainder of his biography, see his website by clicking on link below) ----- From January 2009 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● "Installé depuis une quinzaine d’années au Maroc, Lucien Viola, historien de l’Art, diplômé du prestigieux Institute of Fine Arts, N. Y. U. à New York, elève de Bill Rubin qui était conservateur en chef du MOMA, se spécialise en art égyptien pharaonique et en art contemporain. Antiquaire et collectionneur par tradition familiale, est dans les années 80/90 propriétaire de l'Ibis Gallery Ltd., à New York. A Marrakech, à partir des années 90 il forme des collections d’Art Marocain. Pionnier dans ses recherches sur le symbolisme de certains tissages berbères, il donne, grâce à ses expositions dans des musées et des riad et ses publications, une place importante à ces chefs-d’œuvre trop longtemps ignorés. Membre fondateur des Amis du Musée de Marrakech, Lucien Viola a contribué à l’inauguration de ce Musée, le 14 Mars 1997, en prêtant une partie de sa collection de tissages berbères, première exposition importante de tissages berbères, encore inconnus. Le 27 décembre 2002, Lucien Viola inaugure la Galerie Tadghart et expose, en permanence, des anciens objets d’art du Maroc et de l’art contemporain. Membre actif de l‘Association d’Evaluation des Œuvres d’Art, Islamiques, Pharaoniques et Gréco-Romaines, la “Appraisers Association of America, Inc. de New York, U.S.A.”, et de la Société Française d’Egyptologie à Paris, L. Viola a vu une importante pièce de sa collection égyptienne achetée par la Société des Amis du Louvre, pièce assortie d’un don d’égale valeur : donateur au Musée du Louvre à Paris comme au Musée de Boston, aux Etats-Unis et d'autres musées. En septembre 2006 à l’ouverture de la Galerie Rê, Lucien Viola inaugure cette galerie qui se spécialise dans l’art contemporain. Ces deux dernières années il s'est produit un véritable engouement de la part des collectionneurs et amateurs qui a profité aux artistes et également aux galeristes. Cet élan, cet intérêt est le signe qu'une certaine éducation du public à l'art contemporain est en train de se faire, au Maroc, à travers les expositions et publications. La jeune peinture marocaine épouse le mouvement de l'art contemporain international." (http://www.fondation-re.com/) ----- From July 2008 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Francoise Fielding wrote "The only major news for me is that my youngest daughter, Stephanie, got married in Philadelphia May 24th." ----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dominique de Ziegler wrote: "Thanks and congratulations for your unabated dedication to the news letter. 'It keeps them young', as they say. Speaking of which, the fate that overspills its share of surprises, every now and then, has done it again to me. This time, it is the gift of an unexpected extra chapter that I have been asked to add to my professional life. I was recently offered the direction of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Hôpital Cochin in Paris. Until then, I thought that I was terminally parked in Geneva, left there to rot in the pristine Alpine air through some sort of one way self- decaying process. As I felt that I could not refuse to be Médecin des Hôpitaux and Professeur des Universités, as the title pompously declares, and move over to the big city to boot, I accepted the offer and decided to come to Paris as rapidly as possible. Vive la France! So I'll be officially taking my new job in September 2008, joining many Americans who are flocking to Paris again. Up until now, it was not too common for the University of Paris to call in people from abroad, particularly at the twilight of their lives (yes my dears, that's where we are right now). But since it happened, so be it! And by the way, the star spangled banner is being happily waved all over France these days, from the Elysée Palace on down. Right now, we're getting ready for the move and the kids, having approved it by unanimous vote, are taking the lead to be first in Paris. We bought a house in the 15th arrondissement (they are getting hard to find in town lately), where we'll be moving in March or April after les travaux." ● Jane Trigère shared this press release with us: "Deerfield, MA. Nov. 15, 2007: Local artist, Jane Trigère, has a showing of her art in a New York City museum. Her collective-collage, called “Encompassing Sukkot-Collected Memories,” is on view until January 31 at Yeshiva University Museum in the Center for Jewish History (15 West 16th Street). (See www.yumuseum.org for more details.) Trigere’s collection of anecdotal Sukkot memories come from all over the world. She searched for and made objects to represent these memoriessometimes literally, but also evocatively. Bound together, these visualized memories form another sort of story. The viewer is an active participant. Can these varied memories encompassed within one frame bring visions of Sukkot to mind? Does it matter or detract from the experience if a few images are unusual or unfamiliar?.......Jane Trigère has lived in Western Massachusetts since 1991. She has worked with her husband Ken Schoen in Schoen Books and was the founding director of Hatikvah Holocaust Education & Research Center in Springfield. She has been active in the arts as a book binder, a graphic artist, a set and costume designer, a calligrapher, a cobbler, an eyeglass frame designer, an embroiderer, a painter, and a textile artist. She is currently collecting stories about ironing for another collective-collage." Jane also wrote a touching story about Maia Hellès, the girls’ dance movement/exercise teacher for about 15 years between 1960 until 1975.

Click on link below to access it. ----- From June 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Emmanuel Sala nous écrit: « Après la troisième, j'ai passé mon baccalauréat en Tunisie, et vis depuis près de Paris. J'ai deux enfants adorables, une épouse merveilleuse, travaille dans l'ingénierie informatique, et n'ai encore jamais eu l'occasion de revenir à NY. Un jour peut-être! » ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Jane Trigere wrote: "I escaped the Lycee one year before graduation and lost track of everyone, alas. What a delight to see names I have not enunciated in decades: Raymond Morini, how are you? Do you remember me? Your eulogy for Hercky was beautiful. I am in contact with Diana Henry who settled near me and I hear about Francis Freedland through my "sources." Mazal Tov on baby Gabriel. I started an email correspondence with Philip Engelhardt and must catch up with him. I shall spend more time on the web site to restore my memory. I have lived in many places, but finally have landed in westerm Massachusetts. My husband is a book dealer and we live above the shop. One of our four children has made us a grandparents recently. My professional life has been very changeable. It's hard to say in two words what I have done with myself. I have just finished an intense two-year graduate program at Jewish Theological Seminary in NYC in art history. Where that takes me is unclear. I live in an area where many people vacation. Visitors are welcome!" ● Mira Schor is living in New York City. She teaches in the MFA Program at Parsons The New School for Design. On April 24, 2006 her Valentine's Day talk The Art of Nonconformist Criticality, Or, On Not Drinking the Kool-aid was webcast on WPS1.

The announcment stated: "Schor is the author of Wet: On Painting, Feminism, and Art Culture, an influential collection of essays challenging the male establishment in art criticism. She is also co-editor of M/E/A/N/I/N/G: An Anthology of Artists' Writings, Theory, and Criticism, featuring highlights from the maverick magazine she co-founded with Susan Bee in 1986. She teaches in the MFA Art Criticism and Writing Department at SVA and the MFA Program of the Fine Arts Department at Parsons The New School for Design." --From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● BIRTHS/NAISSANCES: Francis Freedland (See http://www.lfnyalumni.org/en/news/no.22/50/448 for further details.) ● Christopher Delgado shared this with us: "Chris Delgado divides his time between Nairobi, Kenya, Washington, D.C., and various points in Africa, Asia and Latin America as director of a global research program on markets for livestock products, under the joint aegis of the International Food Policy Research Institute and the International Livestock Research Institute. Although Chris fled the Big Apple soon after graduating, he presently has a son studying at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and a daughter at NYU Law School, which takes him back to the city (nostalgically) from time to time. His wife, Ana, is an allergist practicing in Washington, D.C., and they have another daughter, who is a rising senior at Dartmouth College." ● Gildas Lecomte du Nouy informed us that he "joined Pictet & Cie, a two-hundred year-old Geneva-based Swiss Private Bank, which opened a Paris Office in January 2004... located at 34 avenue de Messine, 75008 Paris." ● Nancy (Kleinman) Shaw wrote to tell us that in Central Park "Enter the park at 94th Street and Central Park West and follow the walk to the RIGHT. The plaque commemorating Jenny ('83) and my father is on the second bench to the RIGHT of the entrance to Safari Playground." ● Jane Trigère wrote: "Hello all: I returned to Manhattan for two years and loved it. I have not been back for more than two days since I left in 1966. I live in Western MAssachusetts but decided to do an MA in Jewish Art & Visual Culture at JTS (and some Columbia classes). At 56 it was not the easiest adventure I have ever taken on, but it was exciting, stimulating and exhausting. Now I am back home trying to figure out what to do with the degree. Welcome to those who choose to visit. Happy to hear Francis Freedland's news of first fatherhood! Hey Francis...I just became a grandmother! Imagine that...Jane" --From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Jane Trigere wrote: "This August we became grandparents! Our daughter Rachel has a lovely baby boy named Emmet Nathaniel. I just stare at him by the hour. My eldest daughter Zoe has returned from many years in Israel and now works in Boston. It has been years since I have had all my children on one continent. I have started my second year of graduate school at Jewish Theological Seminary in Jewish Art and Material Culture. Last year was great; the brain still works well...maybe even better! Mazal tov to Tessie and Oudi. Where is Linda Morse? I am in NYC from Monday through Wednesday every week if there is a gathering or something." --From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Francoise Fielding writes: "[I have] retired from being a real estate lawyer to raise two daughters. Now that they have boh graduated from college, I have moved to San Francisco and returned to work as a commercial real estate appraiser. My interests are adventure travel and libertarian politics." ● Jane Trigère has just started an MA program at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Art and Material Culture. She says, "It has been 30 years since I have been a full time student. New York City is wonderful!" ● Alexandre de Bordes is a real estate broker, and is "now branching out in France with properties in Paris and in Aix-en-Provence." ● Michele Moss Guehenno’s husband is is head of peacekeeping (Under-Secretary General) at the United Nations. --From Winter 2002/2003 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Jane Pauline Trigère writes: “My life is divided into decades. I lived in Cambridge, MA. for 11 years and became an art bookbinder after my studies in theatre design and architecture. I moved to Israel (3 years in Jerusalem and 6 as a kibbutz member) and raised my 2 daughters on Kfar Giladi. Returned to Westchester, NY and finally arrived in Western Massachusetts where I have been for 10 years. I am finally happily married to Ken Schoen (bookdealer specializing in Judaica, World War 2, the Holocaust, etc.). I write for newspapers, teach, create and direct educational non-profits, paint, build a Jewish day school and more. My life is quiet now. I have a daughter (30) living in Israel who is an art director, a daughter (24) in Northampton who is a massage therapist, a son (23) who is working on privacy issues on the Internet and a daughter (16) at home in our converted fire station. We live upstairs and 25,000 books are the ballast downstairs. Come visit!” ●Jacques Hirschler writes: « It was purely by serendipity that I fell upon this Internet site for the Lycée's alumni. I had attended the Lycée alumni meeting in May ‘02 (with a mixture of intense anticipation and trepidation) to visit the hallowed halls of my childhood and meet my former classmates. Trekking up the stairs to what was formerly Onzième (and before that some magnate's penthouse), I experienced with Proustian delight a flashback to 1955 when I climbed those very stairs my first day of school. Gregory Gould ‘68 and I then battled for a seat. (All would be well in this strange environment, I thought, as long as I could find a seat.) Anyway, the emotions ran very strong, forty seven years later... As I read those fond memories of Julie Krewer ‘69, I am saddened to inform all that my sister, Monique ‘66, passed away in 1991, also from breast cancer. She left three beautiful children to mitigate the pain of her departure. The horror of 9/11 reminded us all how fleeting and precious our lives and those of our loved ones are. I think we all hugged our family members a little harder that day and wished to renew with old friends. So thanks to all who made this web site possible. Speak to us, memory!” --From March/April 2002 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Oudi and Tessie (Arpels) Recanati sent the Alumni Association a very generous check and enclosed the following note: “Since Tessie and I feel that the Lycée played an important role in bringing us together, we wish you well in bringing others together. Best wishes, Oudi” --From "Printemps 2002" LFNY Magazine-- ● DECES: En mémoire à Laurent deMontmollin, by Nancy Kleinman Shaw :“La dernière fois que j’ai vu Laurent, j’avais quinze ans…Et j’ai toujours cru que l’on aurait l’occasion de se revoir un jour. Je m’en veux de ne pas avoir accepté les invitations du Lycée, reportant toujours à une prochaine fois. Et il est désormais trop tard. Nous étions amis à l’école. Laurent faisait toujours rire la classe entière. Il avait un très bon fond et voulait seulement gagner l’amitié de ses camarades.Et comme j’avais aussi tendance à me faire remarquer, je le comprenais bien. Plus tard en quatrième, je me souviens d’un exposé qu’il présenta à la classe. Il fit une explication approfondie de l’influence du lait sur la qualité du chocolat. Il démontra que la grande variété de chocolats en Suisse était liée à ses nombreux types de vaches. Une fois de plus, il fit bien rire la classe; ses camarades pensant qu’il plaisantait…Aujourd’hui encore, je pense à Laurent à chaque fois que je mange du chocolat suisse.” --From November/December 2001 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Alexandra (Wager) Weisgal writes: "Dear all with a 'Mention Speciale' for 1965, 1966, and 1967: So we're now toting one half of a century...Older-- that we certainly are... Wiser? Ca reste à voir. I agree with Fabrizio ‘65 that the Internet should be used to stay in contact...Just one anecdote. When I had a 'demelée' with the French government back in the seventies, a friend recommended a lawyer (who won the case for me, by the way). It turned out to be Antoine Comte ‘64! Tender thoughts to all of you .At the LFNY I was Alex Wager, but in France I found I couldn't use my father's 'AKA' so went back to the original family name." --From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Michele (Moss) Guehenno writes: «We recently moved back to New York, after 14 years in Paris, when my husband was appointed under-secretary general in charge of peacekeeping at the United Nations. I continue to do structured finance law at Shearman & Sterling which has over the years accommodated my part time work and my moves back and forth from the United States to Paris. I have a fourteen year old French (but bilingual) daughter who is in eighth grade at Trinity- not the Lycée(!) because we thought an all American experience would be good for a French daughter.» ● MARIAGES et FIANÇAILLES: Philip L. Engelhardt '66 nous a envoyé cet e-mail le 19 mai: «Just back from Geneva, where I attended the wedding of Tessie Arpels '67 and Oudi Recanati '67. The happy couple was married in the town of Cologny, just outside of the city.» ● Daniel Frydman writes: "I live in Paris with my wife and our 4 children. My wife also was in New York for the Bac! I work as a psychiatrist, my patients are adults and children. I work three time a week for an institution where we receive 120 mentally disabled young children.I intend to go to New York soon with my wife, 34 years later!» --From February/March 2001 AALFNY Newsletter-- ● Isaac Nathan writes: "I live now in a Paris Suburb called Bry Sur Marne with my wife and two children. I am a dentist. My wife is an orthodontist. We spent one month in New York 2 years ago et we visited the Lycée Français. We met the Directrice who received us very kindly for about one hour and we visited the place from bottom to ceiling. It was very nice. I even asked if I could find a yearbook of 1967 but nobody could tell... maybe one day! My sister Camille Nathan '67 lives in Spain. " ● Francoise Fielding writes: "A year and a half ago I moved to San Francisco to be with my life partner. I work as a time management consultant. My passion is adventure travel (recent trips have included horseback-riding in Mongolia and circumambulating Mt Kailash in Tibet). Both my daughters are at Yale with the oldest one graduating this Spring. Amazing! it seems like just yesterday that I was graduating from the Lycée and starting college... Would love to see any of my classmates who pass through SF." ● Tessie Arpels writes that "on April 30th, I am getting married to Oudi Recanati, who spent several years at the Lycée in the 50s and 60s.I believe he must have left the Lycée at the age of 13 or so, around 1962." |
