(To read the full article, click on link below) ● Nicholas Walker: "He stole our attention first as dashing Sen. Trey Clegg on "Capitol," and later as an infinitely more urbane and sophisticated recast of Max Holden on "One Life to Live." He stepped away from Hollywood several years ago to follow his other passion --- landscape design --- and has just teamed up with the legendary Kathy Ireland as her design ambassador...."(www.blogtalkradio.com/brandonsbuzz) ● "Né à Bogotà (Colombie), le franco-américain Malcolm Walker suit des études universitaires à Londres, New York et Paris.

This was to celebrate our 50th anniversary of when we started in 11eme together in September 1959! We called it "la reunion d'or". So of course we went to La Grenouille, which is run by another former Lyceen, Charles Masson, and had a very nice meal." ● In our previous newsletter, we reported that Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life, a musical documentary feature film by director Robert Levi ('71) about the life of jazz composer Billy Strayhorn (who is best known as Duke Ellington's long-time collaborator and composing companion) had won a Best Documentary Screenplay Award from the Writers Guild of America, and a George Foster Peabody Award for Broadcasting Excellence. Robert wrote to us that "since then, we won the EMMY for BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM of 2008, beating out every single network, cable and primetime show, including all domestic and international broadcast offerings." ● Olga (Kokkinopoulos) Bensadoun wrote: "My daughter Isabelle (34 years old!) has two daughters now: Justine (6 years old) and Lola (nearly 2). My son Paul (30 years old) got married last year (no children yet). I still feel young though. I still work also and like my work a lot. I exchange mails once or twice per year with Ronald Grelsamer and sometimes with Philippe Soriano. Who knows anything about Tina (I don't remember her last name)? Looking forward to seeing you all again one day." ● Kem (Knapp) Sawyer shared this with us: "Jon and I have two new grandchildren -- Raya Isabel McCarey was born on May 18, and Thomas Francis Keane on June 24.

(Click on link below to access Kem's web site) ● Rafael Rodriguez has been trying his hand (and spirit) at music composition lately.

(See Alumni Creative section of newsletter, or click on link below) ----- From January 2009 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Mary (Deschamps) Cornu told us that he has "just launched a fashion translation site." (http://www.fashionlanguage.fr/, or click on link below) ----- From July 2008 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Suzan (Uchitel-Minoret) Lewis has started a new career as a stand-up comedian, and invites her classmates to visit her websites. ((Click on links below) Her press release states: "Suzan Lewis, the 56 year old daughter of entertainer Jerry Lewis, made her show business debut on Thursday, May 29, 2008. Members of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Community Center were treated to an evening of comedy, pantomime, and song......." She also wrote: "Mon pere adoptif Hy Uchitel est decedé en 1984 et ma mere Lynn Uchitel est decedée en 2004. Ma mere avant, de me quitter, pensais que je devrais savoir qui est ma vraie famille naturelle. Je suis déjà proche avec un de mes freres Gary Lewis ('and the playboys' --groupe des annees 1960) et je me rapproche de mon pere Jerry en ce moment. Je suis en train d'ecrire un livre sur ma vie et tous les celebrités que l'on connaissait avec mes parents grace à notre restaurant francais "Le Voisin" et notre night club "le 'El Morocco' de 1959 a 1970." ● Rafael Rodriguez wrote an article about his years 'After the Lycée' and his experiences as a translator/interpreter. (See Alumni Creative section of newsletter, or click on link below) ● "Writer/Producer/Director Robert Levi has received three Best Script nominations from the Writers Guild of America for his documentary work. His film Duke Ellington: Reminiscing in Tempo premiered on the PBS American Experience series, received an Emmy and later played on A&E’s Biography. Levi wrote, produced and directed Mott Street, a 35mm dramatic film short for PolyGram, and his work has screened at festivals including Berlin, London, Melbourne, Munich and AFI. As a director of photography, Levi has collaborated with directors, including Norman Jewison, and taught cinematography at Columbia University’s Graduate Film School." (Urban Mozaik Magazine, http://www.urbanmozaik.com/UM.2007.April/07apr_dept.film.html) In a recent email forwarded to us by Ronald Grelsamer ('71), Robert wrote: "My film Lush Life beat out Ken Burns' World War II, and won Best Documentary award from the Writers Guild of America and then in April, I won a coveted PEABODY Award. Each of the major film Unions has their own critical BEST OF AWARD competition. i.e. The Directors Guild (DGA), Screen Actors Guild (SAG, and The Writers Guild (WGA). These reflect the validation by peer Judges from within each Guild, as opposed to the Oscars, in which Awards are voted by members of the Motion Picture Academy, often without even seeing the works. The film has also been submitted for Emmy consideration, but those awards do not get announced and voted on until September. Emmys are, however, far less prestigious than WGA awards or Peabodys."

Dr. Castaldo wrote his PhD dissertation on stock market volatility at the City University of New York, and taught courses in finance and options to undergraduates at Baruch College (CUNY) from 1998-2001.

Dr. Castaldo holds a B.S. in electrical engineering/computer science and an M.S. in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and worked as a software engineer at SEI Corporation/TMI Systems, Software Research Corp. and Systems Constructs Inc. before entering the finance profession."

Hope everyone is fine from those two years." ● Rafael Rodriguez wrote: "Dear Lycee friends, I am still in debt to Roger Liwer ('68) with a sound bite from one of Mr Kieffer's classes, which I promised to send him some time ago and I will. It is from a cassette from those 1970 days that will certainly resurface once I've gone through all my possessions. As in full fledged midlife crisis, I moved back to my family house in Montclair, NJ after 23 years in Manhattan. I had a partner for 10 years in NY but am a single and a confirmed bachelor now, and trying to enjoy the second half of my life, hopefully, with all sorts of projects in addition to my translation business. The move back to our old house from the city can be seen in one of those HGTV programs, called Bought and Sold (some friends joke about it as Butt and Soul!). I am completing the translation of a diary that my mother wrote in 1934 during the three month period preceding her piano recital at the National Theater in Havana. Working with an editor and the search for a publisher has also kept me busy. Meanwhile my nephew and nieces and godchildren are growing, as your children surely are. One of my godsons got his first job as an international auditor, one niece is graduating for the second time from the Courtland School in London with a thesis on a medieval church in Barcelona (of course!) and my newphew is finishing up at Williams College; he was brought to NY and put up at the Waldorf during some interviews on Wall Street, which he failed, but he is not the type, probably, and seems to be headed for a Long Island Country Club to coach tennis (he was the Massachussets Squash Champion). And the youngest niece is headed for Brown this summer with her F. Scott Fitzgerald award for a short story. Hard to tell kids anything these days, do I begin to sound un peu gaga? A bientot à la prochaine réunion et bonne chance a tous!" ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● From Mary (Deschamps) Cornu: "I live in Paris with my husband François and two daughters, Eloïse (sweet 16) and Morgane (daredevil 11)….After working for the New York Times, Vogue, the Herald Tribune as a journalist, I started my own company: LANGUAGE. We do writing, editing, translating teaching." ● Margaret (Block) Walker wrote: " I live in Hastings and am a psychologist. I work at Columbia at the Counseling Service. My husband and I have two boys, Leo and Sam. Leo is 18 and Sam is 14." ● Tania (Cooper) Patriota wrote: "Just in case any of my 1971 classmates are interested (I attended the Lycee from 1964 to 1969 and my sons Miguel and Thomas attended Lycee from 1994 to 1999), I have been working for UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund since 1990, first as programme officer, now as Officer in Charge of the Brazil office since 2003. If anyone is interested in knowing more (or contributing!) to the Fund, our global website is www.unfpa.org and our Brazil website is www.unfpa.org.br (for Portuguese speakers). Bio note: After the Lycee, I passed my Bac at the International School in Geneva, then obtained post graduate degree in Cognitive Psychology from University of Geneva, and MPH (Public Health, Population and Family Health) at Columbia University, New York. Later worked as psychologist and researcher for Univ. de Geneve, Hopital Cantonal before joining the United Nations." ● Jonathan Mandelbaum sent his regrets for not being able to attend the AALFNY May 31st reunion in NYC, and wrote: "Camarades! Greetings from across the Atlantic! I spent a few days in NY with my daughter late April/early May, and we did see a few Alumni - Ronald Grelsamer '71, André Cappon '66, Sylvia Flescher '70. Alas, much as I would have liked to, my boss (= yours truly) didn't let me stay in town until next Wednesday. So, on the 31st, we - that includes my dear wife Anne, née de Grenier, also Class of '71 - shall raise our glasses toward the setting sun here in France and drink a toast to you all at the Yates Penthouse (fond memories...) Pensées amicales, Jonathan" ● Rafael Rodriguez shared this with us: "Dear fellow Lyceens: Recently I spent a few days in Naples, Fla. and visited with the family of a friend of my father’s from his French Lycee of Madrid days before the Spanish Civil War. Through the twists and turns of events they also ended up living in the same cities three more times in the period of 80 years that their friendship lasted. Havana (1959-1960), Paris (1961-1965) and Summit and Upper Montclair, New Jersey (1986-1990). And now they must be mulling over old boy scout tales and other stories up there, perhaps over a glass of wine. What I am trying to say is that the friendships forged during the Lycee years can be fundamental to getting through life with our sanity intact. As you know I am a translator, and am in the middle of the challenging exercise of translating poetry, so I would like to submit [a poem] for your consideration as I found it worthwhile in any language. The original is in Spanish and comes from a young writer inside Cuba." (Click on link below to read the poem, or go to Alumni Creative section of this newsletter." ----- From February 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Avis de Décès: Carlos de la Serna (Click on link for further details.) ● Ronald Grelsamer, MD told us that he "will be joining the staff of the orthopedic department at Mt Sinai Hospital in New York and will head up their Knee Pain division." ----- From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● DECÉS: Georges Dremeaux ('71) (Click on link for further details.) ● Honors and Awards: Dr. Ronald Grelsamer (See Milestones section for further details.) ● 31 Mai, 2005: "Le Président français Jacques Chirac a nommé, hier, Premier ministre Dominique de Villepin, un de ses fidèles, en remplacement de Jean-Pierre Raffarin, deux jours après la large victoire du non au référendum sur la constitution européenne, a annoncé la Présidence. M. de Villepin qui est né le 14 novembre 1953 à Rabat, fait partie du premier cercle des fidèles du Président Chirac." ● Discussing knee ligament injury prevention programs for women, Dr. Ronald Grelsamer was recently interviewed on television by CBS News regarding knee ligament injury prevention programs for women. (On a sport-for- sport and age-for-age basis, women injure their knee ligaments much more frequently than men). He also has a new website at www.KneeHipPain.com that anybody with knee or hip pain should read! ● Darrell Ellison wrote: "While idly surfing the internet, I came across the AALFNY site and was instantly reconnected to the Lycee. I have been a US Foreign Service Officer since 1981 and have had assignments in Spain, France, Tunisia and Romania, as well as in Washington DC (where I am currently stationed). My positions have all related to “Public Diplomacy” which involves managing educational and cultural exchanges as well as organizing speaker programs. (In US Embassies these are the jobs that are by far the most fun.) I am married to a Frenchwoman, Marie-Christine, and we have three bi-national kids. I was touched to see the tribute to History and Geography teacher Martin Kieffer in Alumni Newsletter # 20 and gratified that thoughtful alumni had contacted him so near the end of his life to express their appreciation. In reading Monsieur Kieffer’s letter of 1998 in the “related links” section, it dawned on me that this was the very first time I was observing him expressing himself in English. Unsurprisingly, he was as eloquent and enthusiastic in English as he had been in French when I knew him three and half decades ago." ----- From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ---- ● Manoële (Jacques) Dochy nous ecrit: "Avant tout je voulais vous dire un grand BRAVO pour le site AALFNY. C’est avec beaucoup de plaisir que je l’ai découvert. Bien que je sois partie avant l’année du bac, les photos des élèves de l’année de ma promotion ainsi que celles avoisinantes ont ravivés un grand nombre de merveilleux souvenirs....Grâce à tout votre travail j’ai pu renouer contact avec des anciens ou lire avec beaucoup d’intérêts les chemins parcourus par d’autres. En ce qui me concerne, je suis mariée, j’ai deux filles (l’aînée ayant une bourse fait un doctorat en bio-chimie à Dresden en Allemagne, et ma cadette est en première licence en Psychologie d’entreprise à l’Université Libre de Bruxelles). J’ai également un beau-fils qui est marié et qui nous a promus au grade de « grands-parents». Pour ma part, je travaille comme Assistante de Direction et suis en charge de tout ce qui concerne les ressources humaines et la législation sociale." ● Kem Sawyer tells us that she has a new book out: Anne Frank (a biography for children for ages nine and up) published by DK. ● Ronald Grelsamer MD has published What Your Doctor May NOT Tell you about Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery [Warner 2004] as a follow-up to What Your Doctor May NOT Tell you about Knee Pain and Surgery [Warner 2002]. ----- From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Georges Dremeaux is a Graphic Designer for the Wildlife Conservation Society. ● Eric Noel wrote, when responding to our Networking-reunion invitation of October, 2003: «Je ne pourrais venir, travaillant ce jour la , étant en Ardèche, mais le coeur y est . Profitez bien de la réunion et pensez aux Anciens qui sont disséminés dans le monde; je pense entr'autres à Boukar Djermakoye qui venait du Niger dont je n'ai aucunes nouvelles et à Alessandro Castaldo. A bientôt si Dieu le veut.» ● Olga Kokkinopoulos also responded to our Networking-reunion invitation of October, 2003: «Je regrette de ne pas pouvoir être parmi vous à cette occasion. Je garde un EXCELLENT souvenir de mes années passées au lycée français de New-York. Pour moi, c'était le meilleur (et le plus sympa) lycée français que j'ai fréquenté à l'étranger.» ----- From Winter 2002/2003 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Martine (Fougeron) de Monès writes: "I am a true bi-cultural product of the Lycée Français, having spent half of my studies/professional and personal in Paris and the other in NY......I have had an international career.......Until 6 years ago I spent my professional life in Paris as European Marketing Director in the field of Creations of Fine Perfumery. From 1988 to 1996, I saw all the facets of the different Europeans tastes via the fragrances they wore... By 1986, those tastes were more and more uniting with the Amercian ones....I moved to NY in 1986 as Creative Director ......It is then I discovered how cosmopolitan and truly universal New York is. In my staff of 20 perfumers and 65 technicians, we had 34 nationalities...I have now opted to stay and live in New York where I am since 2001 an Independant Consultant in the firm I head ("Martine Paris-New York”) whose mission is to "discover, design and direct Creative Shifts in the World Market for Beauty". My passion is for the exploration of the 6 senses, and foremost perfumes, as they are interlinked with the other senses and arts....I live in Manhattan with my two sons who go to the Lycée Français de New York. And history continues..." ----- From March/April 2002 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Vivian (Belmont) Rosenfield writes: “I have been living in L.A. for the past 12 years and am married 20 years to a 2-time Emmy award-winning film & T.V. editor. We have two girls 11 & 14 years old. I travel back to N.Y. often to visit family and friends. I have been selling my photographs through gallery shows. Performed in theatre as a mime for many years after college.” ----- From November/December 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Marc Luksberg is looking for classmates who would remember him since he left after completing 4e. He lives in Kingston, NY and works for Merrill Lynch; married, 2 boys, Joshua 22 and Jeremy 19. ● Marguerite Yates works in the Compliance and Internal Audit area at AXA Investment Managers in Paris. She writes: "It is very easy for me to relate to what my sons (Edward 3ème and Simon 6ème) study in their Parisian school since the most significant change of curriculum in 35 years is a decreased emphasis on Latin. My only regret is that in France they do not benefit from the wonderful English literature classes we had at the Lycée. As for the sports program, it is as abysmal as what we got back then." ● Christian François lives in Belfort, France with his wife, Marie Helene; he is a physical therapist at the hospital in Belfort. ● Hélène Nathan nous écrit d'Argentine: "Je suis heureuse de faire partie de votre association et retrouver le Lycée qui m'a accueillie pendant près de 5 ans. J'en conserve d'excellents souvenirs : les professeurs étaient sensationnels: par exemple le Monsieur Kieffer ou Monsieur André Kaspi que j'ai revu à Paris à la Sorbonne. En ce qui concerne les élèves j'ai eu beaucoup de copains mais pas de vrais amis avec qui j'aurais pu conserver un lien malgré les frontières et les années. Puis j'ai une très mauvaise mémoire des noms, les deux seuls dont je me souviens sont Leslie Bogart que je trouvais adorable et de Robert Black car il avait de très jolis yeux!..... Depuis le Lycée, j'ai étudié le droit à la fac, je suis Docteur en droit et au barreau de Paris, j'ai obtenu le certificat d'aptitude à la profession d'avocat. Mais en réalité, je préfere de loin la recherche des dossiers juridiques et non pas la rhétorique. Grâce à l'internet j'ai maintenant trouvé mon bonheur total. Je suis mariée depuis 1979; j'ai élevé les deux garçons de mon mari et nous avons une fille Natascha de 16 ans. Mon mari est un homme polyvalent : il fait de la politique, il travaille dans les médias (TV), il a été prof à la Sorbonne en Economie du développement etc. Maintenant je réside à Buenos Aires en Argentine. Si quelqu'un se souvient de moi, qu'il me fasse signe, j'en serais très heureuse." ----- From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Sherry Morse is married to writer & Internet producer, John Maccabee, and has two children, Matthew 13 and Sarah 8, who attend the S.F.
