1995Class Notes Archives----- From December 2011 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Nicolas Remy nous écrit: "Après avoir traversé l'Océan Pacifique Sud, l'une des plus longues étapes de notre voyage autour du monde, nous avons atteint les chaudes et chaleureuses îles tropicales de Polynésie Françaises en août 2011. Depuis, nous sommes à la découverte de ce pays extraordinaire, et nous prévoyons de continuer notre séjour pendant les premiers mois de 2012 également, avant de remettre le cap à l'ouest. Plus sur http://journal.belle-isle.eu/ et de nombreuses photos sur http://photos.belle-isle.eu/ . Si vous voulez recevoir nos newsletters, svp abonnez-vous sur notre site. Je serais en tout cas content de recevoir des nouvelles d'anciens !" ● "Le Centre de Formation d'Apprentis de Nogent-sur-Oise est l’un des très rares, si ce n’est le seul, à avoir mis en place un point-écoute pour les apprentis. Depuis 2006, Maud Lombard-Daniel reçoit les jeunes qui viennent la voir, soit sur le conseil d’un de leurs formateurs, soit spontanément, pour parler de leurs difficultés. « Il peut s’agir de problèmes avec leur employeur ou au centre de formation, de soucis personnels ou familiaux, d’un mal-être... » détaille la psychologue qui leur réserve un moment de dialogue libre, sans jugement, sans conséquence et en toute confidentialité. « Il ne faut pas oublier qu’à 16, 17 ans, ils sont très jeunes, il faut les aider à s’adapter au rythme et aux contraintes de l’apprentissage. Parfois, en leur posant des questions pour mieux comprendre leurs difficultés, je les amène à trouver eux mêmes la réponse qui leur conviendra », confie-t-elle. Et même si certains jeunes éprouvent quelque réticence à « aller voir la psy », ils sont nombreux à apprécier cette « soupape »." (www.oise.cci.fr/content/.../file/LOE-112_W.pdf) ● In September 2011, Justin de Koszmovszky was interviewed by Business Fights Poverty. "Until July 2011, I lead SC Johnson’s Developing Markets sustainability initiatives, focused on Africa and sustainable business model adaptation and innovation to engage extremely low-income communities (ie: Base of the Pyramid, Inclusive Business, Creative Capitalism. I originated and then managed a portfolio strategy that included supply-chain projects in Rwanda co-sponsored with USAID, urban sanitation micro-franchises in Kenya (Community Cleaning Services, CCS) and a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation focused on malaria. I am now leading sustainability action for SCJ Europe, but, given it has been only two months, will rely on my former position for this profile."

Après notre mariage, ma femme Heidi et moi-même sommes partis en voyage à la voile. Nous avons fait un premier tour en Europe du Nord sur deux saisons comme galop d'essai, et nous sommes maintenant en route depuis mars 2010 (6 mois déjà !), et actuellement au Brésil après avoir traversé l'Atlantique. Nous souhaitons faire le tour du monde, ce qui nous prendra plusieurs années. Pour ceux qui souhaiteraient en savoir plus sur notre projet, et avoir des nouvelles plus récentes ou plus régulièrement, n'hésitez pas à nous retrouver sur notre journal de bord : http://journal.belle-isle.eu/ . Ca me fera très plaisir d'avoir de vous nouvelles ! A très bientôt. Nicolas" ● Pierre Fraiture wrote: "I am working privately in the residential and commercial Real Estate sector. I am no longer working for Prudential Douglas Elliman. I have a daughter, Nikita Marie-Sophie Fraiture, who will be three years old this January." ● Anis Kalthoumi wrote: "What a beautiful moment in life to be able to go back in time and remember the unending memories of the LFNY. After 17 years spent in NY and Philly, finally came back home to Tunisia and started my own ceramic factory. I have about 20 employees and I export to Europe, US and Africa. Because of the different nationalities in my class at the LFNY, I was able to adapt to all clients I encounter. I’m staying in touch with most of my classmates through Facebook and it’s been great. Sader Nadimi, Kamal Toybou and Christophe le Friec are meeting me in Nice for New Year 2011. If anybody wants to come, you’re more than welcome...à tres bientot..Gros bisous" Videos of LFNY alumni on the internet: ● The Old Noise, by Gwenaëlle Gobé (Click on link below) ----- From December 2009 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Arielle Fenig wrote: "Hello!

For information please contact Jacquelyn Ryal, responsible for business development at jacquelyn_ryal[AT]scenyc.com." (To access the scenyc website, click on link below) Marc also wanted eveyone to know that "scenyc is hosting its 10th Anniversary New Years Eve party in NYC. It will bring together many alumni and like-minded revelers. Event information can be found at http://www.sputnyc.com/nye2010 - it's the place to be ~ so be there!" ● "Dr. Rony Mashihi completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at New York University College of Dentistry in 2003.

Pierre works in Real Estate and Finance. Caroline works in Marketing. We recently welcomed a little daughter in our lives: Nikita Marie-Sophie Fraiture who will hopefully be a future Lycee alumna." ● Victoria Kisseleva wrote: "After almost 10 years of life and work and New York, I moved to London six months ago. The transition was fairly easy as I am still with the Mergers & Acquisitions team at Société Générale and although miss New York a bit, being closer to Europe has a lot of advantages. If there are any LFNY alumni in London or anywhere else in Europe it would be nice to receive some news" ● Florence (Theil) Goguel-Nyegaard nous écrit: "Bonjour à tous ! Hmmm...le temps passe et celui du lycée me parait déjà bien loin...mais je dois dire qu'avoir lu des nouvelles de certains d'entre vous m'a facilement plongée quelques 15 années (!!!) en arrière ! Alors à mon tour de vous donner de mes nouvelles : je suis médecin à Paris, où j'habite. Je suis surtout l'heureuse femme d'un homme, Sébastien, avec qui je vis depuis 10 ans et avec qui je partage l'extraordinnaire quotidien auprès de nos deux enfants, Alice 3 ans et Basile 9 mois. Depuis la fin du lycée, j'ai toujours vécu en France mais je pars plusieurs fois par an à l'étranger pour les vacances. Mon frère par contre est retourné vivre aux Etats-Unis puis ailleurs. Il vit actuellement au Mexique. Voilà pour l'essentiel des nouvelles, forcément succin. Peut-être à bientôt par mail... Bonne continuation à vous tous. J'ai cru comprendre que la vie n'avait pas toujours été clémente pour certains depuis le lycée... Tous mes voeux de bonheur plus particulièrement pour eux." ● "Alexandre Mazuranic is an associate in Schellenberg Wittmer's arbitration group in Geneva.

I'm still in touch with Claire Le Pichon, Catherine Gaillochet and that is about it. After I left the LFNY, I returned to Cotonou where I got my Bac, then to the university, where I studied Civilizations and Literature. In 1998 I took two years to work, at a radio station, then at a private television station. For my maitrise I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and graduated in 2001. Then, I took a year off, to have a baby. My daughter was born on July 26, 2006 in Paris: her name is Sènalidé, my beloved princess. In 2002 I went back to school and studied at the l'institut supérieur d'interprétaion and traduction in Paris, where I saw regularly Catherine Gaillochet. Then I decided to go back to Benin, where I have been living for the past two years. Six months ago I started working with UNHCR (United Nation's high commission for refugees). I would love to hear from you guys-- I mean Pauline Ladsous, Dorothy McAuliffe, Florence, Jérémy Regnier, Arielle Fenig. I was really sad to hear that Bianca died. I hope to hear from you guys soon....love...Elvyr" ● Delphine (Teynier) Smaine wrote: "I married Thierry Smaine on July 22, 2006. We have been living in Maisons Laffitte (78) for a year and a half now, where we have bought a nice appartement. We both have pleasant jobs near Paris." ● Alexandre Mazuranic shared this with us: "Hello everyone, I just discovered the alumni website of the LFNY; what a great way to reconnect. It brings me back quite a few years ago... Like for everyone, it was a shock to learn about Bianca Pujol's accident. And then it was really nice to read about Dorothy McAuliffe's family. About me? After the LFNY, I came back to Geneva (Switzerland) where I passed my "Bac" (or "Maturité" like we call it in Switzerland) and my law degree in 2000. I worked in Frankfurt (Germany) for six months before returning to Geneva to follow my two years traineeship as a lawyer. I qualified as a lawyer in 2003 and worked two and a half more years in the litigation area. Now I am currently ending a one year Master of laws (LL.M.) programm in International Business Law in London and will be heading back to Geneva in September to work in the international arbitration department of one of the top Swiss law firms." ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● WEDDINGS/MARIAGES: Nicolas Renard and Charlotte Lancelot got married in Lyon on April 29, 2006. They both studied and met at Lyon Veterinary School. Since then, they live in the Netherlands close to Amsterdam. ● This from Justin DeKoszmovszky: "2006 was a busy year: Finished my MBA, got married to my best friend, Tatiana Thieme, and moved to England to start a new job managing strategic sustainability projects for SC Johnson across Africa and the Near East." ● Pauline Ladsous wrote: "Dear all, firstly, I'd like to apologize for being such a crappy alumnus, i.e. who doesn't keep much in touch although I do have fond memories of the lycée and of classmates. I guess it's my innate fear of nostalgia as it turns me into some sort of sobbing emotional mush crying over long gone days when life was easy, we were young, beautiful, loved and careless, only having to go to the Lycée in the morning and wear our uniforms :- ) So Mea Culpa Mea... After this paradise lost, welcome to the real world of work, customer complaints, "coups de feux" (de cuisine!), 300-people events, top VIP's with kinky requests. Welcome to the world of the Swiss Hospitality, in which I've been working for the past three years. After my BBA, I started off as a "dame d'office" (PC term for dishwasher.....yeah, a dishwasher with a BBA...il n'y a pas de sot métier me disais-je :-)) at the RedClub, the Lausanne Palace & Spa's private night-club, then three months later was promoted to ...Ooh lala....waitress!!!! Still working nights from 8pm to 6:30 am...Then three months later to....barmaid??..NO....Executive assistant to the greatest boss in the world, the Hotel's GM. Loads of work but always interesting, varied, challenging and for someone whom I admire, more than respect, basically just love. Since he is as well Chairman of the Leading Hotels of the World, I'm secretly hoping to jump into one of his suitcases on his next trip to NY, as I miss the City so much, and I'll make sure to come see the new Lycée. I am fortunate to have kept in touch with Marc Perraud, Stéphane Peudupin, Andrea Livi, Inès Chaalala, Julien Chappuis & Nicolas Rémy (who are both in Lausanne as well) and received emails from Bertrand Hauss and Florence Theil. So in case you're looking to contact one of them, please let me know. I do not plan on leaving Lausanne any time soon, so in case you're looking to stay in a Palace on Lake Geneva have no hesitation in letting me know: I'll get you a nice rate and would love to show you around. All the best to all of you and as the Swiss say: "Tout de bon et à tout bientôt!" ------From February 2006 AALFNY Newsletter------ ● WEDDINGS/MARIAGES: Nathalie Mounier ● Arielle Fenig informed us that she will soon be starting her residency in anesthesiology at St. Luke's Roosevelt hospital in NYC. ● Nathalie (Mounier) Laughlin wrote: "I'm currently living & working in California with my 9 month old daughter and my husband. After I got my BA in stats at BU, I worked in a consulting firm for 3 years until I burned out, so I went to Tulane University in New Orleans with Delphine (yes, again!) and got my MBA. I also found my beau at Tulane & followed him to California & started nesting." ● Nicolas Renard wrote: "Hello guys, Time has passed since my last since my last class notes: I graduated from Vet School in France in 2001. But I did not stay in the clinical world and got into business school (EM Lyon) to complete a Master's Degree in B to B marketing. I am now an International Product Manager for Intervet International (vet pharmaceutical company, ranked 3rd in the world). But, biggest of all, I'm getting married to Charlotte (another French vet) next April. Hoping to get in touch with former friends from LFNY. Kind regards, Nicolas" ● From Bertrand Hauss: "Well, it's definitely been a while since my Lycee days (already past 10 years). Just found this website out of nowhere. Currently, I am living in Los Angeles, California where I have been for the last five years working as a civil engineer. Just wanted to give a quick hello to all my fellow classmates / friends...Send me a mail when you have a chance." ● Jeremie Régnier wrote: "Hello to LFNY friends! Honestly, I was so amazed to read about Arielle, Nicolas Renard, Dorothy McAuliffe (14 years after I left the LFNY) that I decided to say hello! After my studies in Paris (history and Literature), I lived a while in London then traveled to Lebanon. I am currently living in Beirut and I work in a French-speaking publishing house. How did I get here? I don’t know! But it’s a nice country (tumultuous but nice). I’m in love with a wonderful Lebanese girl and here I am, creating and correcting books in French for children and adolescents! Fortunately (that’s the “cool” part of my life) I am also playing music with a rock band (The New Government is our name) and still fulfilling my passion for acting. I would so very much like to have news from any of my school mates back in my “Lycée Français” years! I didn’t realize that reading news from ancient friends would be an emotional experience too. I was very shocked to read about Bianca Pujol’s accident and death. I remember her, she was a very sweet and beautiful girl. I remember teachers, places, conversations, Monsieur Otalora, Madame Mouté, Madame Thébaut (oh please no): where did everybody go? Cheers, Jérémie." ------From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter------ ● DECÉS: Bianca Pujol ('95) (Click on In Memoriam link, to the right, for further details.) ● Victoria Kisseleva wrote: "I live in NYC. After graduating from Stern NYU School of Business with an MBA in Finance, I joined Societe Generale. I keep close contact with Laleh Javaheri-Saatchi who also lives in NYC and Maria de Giovanni who has been living in Milan for couple of years." ------From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter------ ● Stéphanie Cabrera lives in New York City and is working in photography. ● Delphine Naudin wrote: "After LFNY, I went to Boston University where I got my BA in Psychology in 1999. I then went back to New York where I taught at a Montessori School for 3 years.. Spent a lot of time with toddlers then. After that, I decided to go back to school to get my Masters. I got my masters in social work from Tulane University last December. I am currently living in New Orleans and work for a state agency as a social worker working with families in need of services. I still keep in touch with Nathalie Mounier with whom I am still very good friends. We actually lived in New Orleans together for two years. I'd love to hear from my old classmates." ● Andrea Livi wrote: "I completed my master's in Historic Preservation from UVM as planned in 2002. I lived for a short while in Pennsylvania and was employed as an architectural historian there. I am currently working on my doctorate in Urban Planning and Design at the University of Maryland. I live in the Washington, D.C. suburbs with my fiancé. We got engaged recently, on our 6th anniversary." ------From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter------ ● Pauline Ladsous writes: “Reading about you all and seeing all those familiar names certainly made me extremely happy and eager to see you again. I have been through a lot of ups but mostly downs since I left the Lycée, yet it reassured me to see that I am an exception and that most of you already have a stable and fulfilling life. (Congratulations to all the young parents, married couples, young execs...) After my Bac S, I logically went to Hypokhagne, then Parsons School of Design, Universität Wien and now Glion Hotel School in Switzerland where I am doing a BBA in Hospitality Management. All this to say that it has been pretty hectic and full of changes, and that the LFNY years are some kind of paradise lost. (I can't believe I am actually saying this!) So if anyone of you feels like checking out Bulle-en-Gruyère, where I am studying, let me know and I'll arrange for fondue, schnapps and cow milking. As they say here, ‘tout de bon et à tout bientôt j'espère.’ Take good care of yourselves.” ● Emilie (Perez) Pineau-Valencienne works for Odile de S. and is an interior designer.

I've finished my studies, and I'm searching for a job at the moment. After a degree in philosophy, I changed fields. I studied fashion design for a year, worked with a couple of young fashion designers, then got a master in fashion management.I keep in contact with Vincent Giraud and Fabienne Bego, who are two of my closest friends; I occasionally see Séverine de la Rivière who also lives in Paris. » ------From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter------ ● Andrea Livi is going for a Masters in Historic Preservation at the University of Vermont-expected graduation: 2002.
