We were happy to see our daughters carry on the “sleep over” we had initiated many years before. I was also very fortunate to hook up again with Robyn FRANK (’81) and Valérie LAVION (’81) in NY last September, very happy as well to share tapas and go to the theatre in Paris with Ghislaine CARSON PARKER ('81) and Béatrice CALLENS ('81), and, very lucky to benefit from Juliette FEENEY’S ('80) advice & wisdom on sending a teenage daughter to a US university." ● Natacha Rajakovic ('80) organized a Thanksgiving dinner in Paris for alumni of the classes '79, '80 and '81.

But yes, I am currently an Infectious Disease doc in Atlanta (which is in Georgia, not Alabama, as my New Yorker sisters think). I am married and have 3 small children, Samuel 6, Gabrielle 4, and Oliver 2 1/2. We frequently visit NY, where my parents and Lycee Alumnae sisters still live, and I hope one day to return there permanently myself. I have lost contact with so many of my old Lycee friends, but would love to hear from them: Marisa Fox, Ellen Passloff, Monica Dugot, Marina Seraphides, etc. I will attempt to email u a more spontaneous picture, although I believe I look more or less the same(..?..)" ● “Née à Alger, Amal Bedjaoui commence à étudier le cinéma à l’Université de New York.

He is ranked among the top 18 year olds in the U.S. Francesco, is 11 years old. I keep in contact with many old friends from the Lycee. About two years ago, I was at a party and was asked by a woman: "how come an American speaks French with a French accent" to which I answered that I went to the Lycee in New York. Well, what a coincidence to find out that she was in my class. We have been extremely close ever since. Celebrating Thanksgiving, New Year's, and birthdays. Florence Rondeau-Chang is a Financial Chief Officer for Siemens and she is a terrific mother and wife." ● Paula (Thomas) Robinson Rossouw wrote: "I got married in 2004 on a beach in South Africa, and my husband Leon and I then lived in Franschhoek (in the wine district near Cape Town) for just over 2 years .

I have been married to my wife Lana for nearly 18 years and we have three sons, Christopher (13), Marc (spelled the French way with a 'c' instead of a 'k') (10), and Andreas (8). I still keep in touch with Lycee alums Oscar Bleetstein ('81) and Andrew Moses ('81) (NY), Hogi Hyun ('81) (Singapore), and of course my sister Suzanne ('78) (also NY). In fact, last year Hogi and I did a 100-mile back-pack run together through Burgundy for a week (from Macon to Dijon), over-compensating for each day's loss of calories with great wine and heavy French food every night." ● Oscar Bleetstein wrote: "Oscar Bleetstein and his wife Julia are the proud parents of Henry Jacob, born July 3rd '07. The Bleetsteins finished gut-renovating/rebuilding a four-family brownstone on 119th street and are very busy with their careers.

Completely self-taught and eschewing the limitations of mechanical and technical formalities, she utilizes a wide range of mediums for her canvases including board, wood, ceramic, and paper. Boisson employs acrylic, watercolors, and gouache for most of her creations, and chooses to paint on flat surfaces, such as a table or floor, in order to further venerate content over technique ......."

I am living and working in Los Angeles (although I visit New York often) and would love to hear from my old classmates and catch up!" ● Alice Croisier nous écrit: "28 ans. 28 ans déjà, c'est à peine croyable!!! Comment le temps peut-il passer si vite ? 28 ans que ma route à croisé la votre pour une année qui a changé ma vie. Changée vers une ouverture, la découverte des autres, et m'a laissé un délicieux goût pour l'expatriation et l'aventure humaine que je cultive depuis avec passion. Bien sûr ce n'est pas toujours facile de débarquer dans un pays nouveau, dans une classe nouvelle où tout le monde se connaît, et être confrontée à la différence, surtout à un âge ou l'on est a peine en train de commencer à se construire. Je garde pourtant un souvenir inoubliable de cette année. Et "tomber" par hasard sur la page internet du AAFLNY m'a replongée avec bonheur dans cette période unique. Revoir vos noms sur cette liste, promotion après promotion, et avoir un peu de nouvelles par cette entremise m'a fait revivre avec intensité tous ces moments passés en votre compagnie. Les bons. Je me demande souvent ce que nous sommes devenus, si nous sommes heureux, si les espoirs que nous nourrissions à l'époque on grandit grâce aux soins que nous leur avons prodigués. Je me demande aussi souvent s'il m'arrivera un jour de reconnaître l'un d'entre-nous aux détours d'un couloir d'aéroport ou d'une vue. Alors tomber sur une page internet à fait naître en moi l'idée saugrenue que le bulletin pourrait servir à reprendre contact d'une manière plus active. Puis découvrir, parcourant la liste des promotions, que certains nous nous avaient déjà quittés m'a profondément bouleversée. Faut-il forcer le destin et prendre des nouvelles après tant d'années ? A quoi bon risquer d'autres tristes découvertes ? Ne vaut-il pas mieux laisser faire le hasard et rester tous en paix dans notre bulle ? Et après tout, quelle envie pourraient avoir ces ex-co-élèves avoir de reprendre contact avec un OVNI passée dans leur classe en 1977-78 ? Et quel besoin de s'exposer? A qui? A quoi? Et pourquoi? Puis, quelques semaines plus tard, ma tristesse, mes doutes et mes pudeurs un peu apprivoisés, j'ai repris cette fameuse liste. Je l'ai parcourue. J'ai parcouru celles des autres promotions. Plus de 216 élèves dans la promo 1981. Autant dans les promo d'avant et d'après peuplées de mes amis de route rencontrés sur les bancs du LFNY. Comment est-ce possible? Alors, je ne serai peut-être pas le seul OVNI passé sur ces bancs? Et si les autres nourrissaient aussi cette envie de se retrouver? Et si comme moi ils avaient envie d'en savoir plus malgré les années passées, le manque de temps, la peur de passer pour ridicule ou sentimental(e)? Après tous, nous avons tous donné nos coordonnées. Mais pourquoi ne se passe-t-il rien ensuite ? Peut-être, a-t-on tous l'espoir qu'un autre fera le premier pas pour nous retrouver à notre place? Alors aujourd'hui, plutôt que de continuer à jeter des cailloux dans la mare de mes souvenirs pour voir s'ils remontent à la surface, c'est moi qui me jette à l'eau en espérant que les éclaboussures de souvenir vous atteindrons, afin de vous donner l'envie de faire le pas suivant. Au moins, je ne partirai pas avec le regret de ne pas vous avoir fait savoir à quel point vous - Professeurs et Elèves, aviez compté dans la vie de quelqu'un, même si ce n'est que la mienne. Et comment regretter d'avoir essayé de réveiller le hasard et son copain le destin ! La vie est si courte…. Alors si le cœur vous en dit, n'hésitez pas! Même si, comme dans toutes les classes, nous n'étions pas tous amis, nous n'étions que des mômes et cela ne doit pas vous arrêter. Et ce n'est pas moi que vous auriez envie de revoir, n'importe! On peut au moins créer une liste d'email de contact. Et puis peut-être se parler, échanger, ou simplement se faire un petit coucou avant de repartir chacun dans son coin ? Et puis si vous passez par Genève, il y aura toujours une petite place dans mon 'Auberge Espagnole'. Sinon bon vent et bonne route...et au plaisir de laisser faire le hasard...et son copain le destin!.......Alice" -----From February 2006 AALFNY Newsletter----- ● Alessandra (Kelmans) Bozzo wrote: "I am now living the suburbian life in Connecticut. I have been married for 17 years and have two sons, a 14 year old USTA Tennis ranked player and an 8 year old.

There's really nothing more interesting than being part of a team turning a firm around. Another plus is Boston's great quality of life (notwithstanding my wife's complaints that everytime we move, we go further north and it gets colder.) Contact me if you're ever in town." ● Jean-Pierre Dareys shared this with us: "I graduated the LFNY in 1981. After that I attended NYU where I otained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

Je suis contente de constater que notre promotion commence à reprendre contact. Lors d’une réunion d’anciens élèves il y a deux ans, je n’avais revu qu’une personne de ma promotion (Valérie Lavion). C’est encourageant de voir que l’été dernier, quinze personnes de ma promotion s’étaient revus. Je n’ai jamais eu l’idée de parler de moi-même mais ai toujours apprécié de lire au sujet de personnes que je connaissais.J’ai donc décidé de participer à l’organisation de cette rencontre en espérant que ceci en inspirera d’autres à faire de même.Alors, voilà… je suis mariée avec Victor Chang depuis quinze ans,je suis la maman de deux enfants (Tess et Trevor),et je suis Senior Manager,Integrated Business Planning chez Bayer Diagnostics.
