1973Class Notes Archives(Click on Pdf links ("related downloads") to the right, bottom, for more photo archives, and yearbook pictures) ----- From December 2011 AALFNY newsletter ----- ● Dana (Sloan) Scanlon wrote that she "has enjoyed another great year in real estate in the Washington DC metro area, having been voted One of the Best Realtors of 2012 by the Readers of Bethesda Magazine. Many of her clients are families whose children attend the Lycée Rochambeau in Bethesda, MD, which was attended by her two daughters. Her oldest daughter, Annie, just graduated from Concordia University in Montreal with a Bachelors in Sociology, and is teaching music and violin to young children. Youngest daughter Claire is in her second year in the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Husband Leo is CISO at the National Archives. Dana's great pass-time continues to involve horses, and a Thoroughbred named Dover Glory was added to the family this year." ----- From November 2010 AALFNY newsletter ----- ● Avis de Décès: David Alix passed away on May 4, 2010. Diane (Ansberry) Rahardja ('73) sent us this message: "David's mother, Madame Alix, was my teacher and David's in 7emeB. She passed away, getting on the subway, from the Bronx on her way to school, holding David's hand. Unfortunately David has also passed away much too soon." (See In Memoriam section of this newsletter for more details, or click on link below.) ● Avis de Décès: According to the Hamptons.com newsletter, Jean Hertog passed away in July, 2009. (See In Memoriam section of this newsletter for more details, or click on link below.) ● Diane Homo wrote that she "is well and alive in Paris." She enclosed pictures "two of my last paintings." ● Christopher Yates wrote: "My professional affiliation has transitioned from the Netherlands-based Getronics to the Texas-based CompuCom. I continue to provide support to users who are not in the office, yet require access to the corporate environment remotely. Although, I am in the office daily, I may soon be working from a home office and I look forward to this new 'commute'." ● Dana Scanlon wrote: "Salut tout le monde.......My oldest daughter Annie passed her Bac exam at the Lycée Rochambeau in Bethesda MD, and is now in her senior year at Concordia University in Montreal. The Bac earned her a full year's credit, an excellent reward for all the hard work involved. Youngest daughter Claire left the Lycée Rochambeau after "college" to attend Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington MD. She is now a freshman at University of Colorado at Boulder, College of Architecture & Planning. No Bac, but lots of AP courses which have earned her quite a few credits towards her college degree. Fortunately, my real estate business continues to grow and is keeping me quite occupied in the empty nest. I continue to ride horses, a life-long passion occasionally interrupted in recent years by unfortunate accidents. But I am back in the saddle and even venturing back in the competition arena. My husband Leo is still CISO at the National Archives, and enjoys his sailing when weather permits. And occasionally I am at his side on the boat, but only if there is no chance of stormy weather." ● "“Dinah Louda graduated from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris and she holds a Masters in Political Science from Harvard.

My dinner companion asked our waiter what did he do for Thanksgiving dinner. He said 'I went to an orphan dinner for 15 people.' I asked what he made, he said 125 escargots (with a French accent). I said, 'are you French?' He said, 'I am from Alsace.' I said, 'I speak French because I went to Lycée Français de NY.' He said, 'I went to Lycée Français de NY!' I said, 'When did you graduate?' He said '1992 and I went there since the little grades (1980-92)!' I said, 'I graduated 20 years earlier, I was there for 10 yrs, left after Premiere.' His mom worked at the Lycée and his dad was the former pastry chef at La Caravelle. My waiter's name was Mathieu Lorenzini ('94). Not only did he go to Lycée but he also went to Beloit College for a year -- from where I graduated! Small world." (Editor's note: Mathieu's mother was surveillante --Mme. Christine Lorenzini) ----- From January 2009 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● “Structural engineer and [Princeton] architecture professor Guy Nordenson has successfully collaborated with many of the leading architects practicing today.

Am married with two sons, one graduating from Oxford University with Japanese and Mandarin and a second at Bristol University studying geography. If there is anyone out there from Accelerée II du Lycée Francais de Mexique 1964-1966, j'y etais aussi! Aussi bien que le Lycée Francais de Londres (1967-1973). Let us hope for a better year than last...meanwhile best wishes!" ● Blaise Galland told us that he has a website called "L'espace virtuel alvéolaire."

Then I had the opportunity to go to Paris and study law at "assas" university. After spending most of my life abroad, it has been quite a experience to discover the French people and their strange ways. But, eventualy, I got used to them. Still, most of my friends are foreigners, even today. I would love to know what became of all the people I knew back when I was at the Lycée, in that charming place near Central Park. If anybody remembers me, let me know !" ----- From July 2008 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Avis de Décès: In response to an inquiry, Dr. Anne Fernandez ('71) informed us that her brother, Yves (Fernandez) Arman ('73) "very unfortunately and sadly, died in car accident in Spain in 1989."

Unfortunately they called the race. I had run 16 miles and had to walk the last 2.5 miles to Grant Park. I had a great cheering team - friends from New York and Chicago. The next week I joined friends from New York and completed the Greater Hartford Marathon in 5:55:07, meeting my goal of finishing under 6 hours." ● Dominique (Asper) Reginato wrote: "Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be in New York from the 13th to the 18th of December - a short holiday with my husband. I'll be staying at Hotel Edison, and if anyone would like to have a reunion with an old lycée friend, just give me a call. I'd love to have news from former friends. Other than that, I'm still living in Geneva. My husband Franco, who is a physiotherapeute, has new professional plans for the future: He's studyng to do accupuncture as an extra formation. I'm now retired from music teaching; after 27 years I felt a change was due. So I've also started a new formation in sign language (language for the deaf), the opposite from my former work, but it's fascinating. My two boys are now 23 and 20: one is in actng school and the other in business school, and they are both doing fine. Voila! Hope to hear from old friends. Bye for now." ● From Dominique Noel: "I am now living In Ridgewood N.J. Married with two children, Sophie (12) and Alex (9).

Enfin tu le sais probablement! Mes Dadas sont les suivants: 1) M'occuper de ma femme (qui est une grande malade). 2) Enregistrer de la musique (mon equipement est semi-proffessionel). Toutes musiques sont bonnes: Francaise, Rock Classique, Pop, Country, Rhythm & Blues etc... Pas de Rap! Du Hip-Hop oui, mais c'est d'un autre temps! OK, c'est tout l'espace que j'ai, à la prochaine!" ● Penelope (Lloyd) Barratt wrote: "I would like to say hello from England to those in Special III in 1967! We have two sons, one at Bristol University UK and one at Oxford, and I send best wishes to those who might remember me. I trust that you too will have a very happy Christmas and that 2008 will be a good year for you and your family." ● Jonathan Gregg informed us that he "is a musician and freelance editor in New York City.

Specialty: assisting French-speaking clients in their relocation to the Washington DC metro area. Married, two teenage daughters (Lycee Rochambeau in Bethesda), one horse and a dog! I have managed an occasional trip to New York for business over the years -- sorry to have missed the reunion at the Yates home. Anyone from class of '73 in the DC area?" ● Martha Solinger wrote: "I am recently divorced with a 12 year old son and live just outside of New York.

We love to travel and are going on safari in Africa this summer." ● "Jean-Louis Monfraix bought his first 35mm camera while touring as lead guitarist for the "East Coast Brass" in 1978 and has been photographing his "view of life" ever since. Jean-Louis was born in Lavaur, France, and raised in New York City, where he attended the Lycée Français de New York. His passion for photographing his "view of life" grew out of a boyhood fascination with the beauty of the natural world and the diversity of life on Earth. As a child, he could be seen running around the New York Botanical Gardens with a butterfly net, collecting specimens for his insect collection (and bee stings for his immune system). The name of Jean-Louis' photography business pays homage to his lifelong hero, the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, by quoting from the last sentence of the 1859 classic "On the Origin of Species", in which Darwin wrote: "There is grandeur in this view of life, ...". Indeed, Jean-Louis is a naturalist and biologist himself. He holds a Master's Degree in Zoology from the University of Florida and has taught biology as an adjunct professor at the American University in Washington, D.C., and at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida. Jean-Louis' photographs have appeared on the covers of publications for several multi-organizational national conferences…………" (From: Eastern Market.Net; http://www.easternmarket.net/index.php?id=fe&fe=56) ● “Tom Teicholz is a film producer in Los Angeles.

(Click on the link below for more news.) ● Christopher Yates wrote: "It is always good to read of the Class of 73 goings on. And the reunion at my childhood home on May 31st was especially heartwarming for me. It was almost a fluke that I was able to attend mid week, since I live in the metropolitan Boston area. My New York ties continue to run deep, and I do manage an occasional jaunt into the Big Apple. I hope to hear from more of you in the months and years ahead." ● From Dominique (Asper) Reginato: "After more then 27 years of teaching at the international school of Geneva as a flute teacher, I've decided to take an early retirement. I travel a lot with my husband ( Birmanie, Vietnam, Bali, Seychelles, Sri lanka, etc.) My eldest son Julien is 22 and is studying theater, my youngest son Raphael is 18 and is in a business school. We have a boat on the lake here in Geneva and we sail quite a bit. Life here in Switzerland is quite enjoyable and we feel very priviledged to live in such a nice environment.

My first self-produced CD got three and a half stars in Rolling Stone, along with other very nice reviews, back in '92; since then I have taken up the pedal steel guitar and gig frequently in NY. I am married for the second time, no kids, spend a lot of time in Connecticut with my wife, go back and forth between there and my place in NYC. I don't stay in touch with my old classmates much, but not by choice. I would love to hear from my friends Debbie Lewis, Michel Amiel, Dana Sloan, Louis Foy, Anne Marie Backer, Sophie Gorek, Charles Masson, and many others. Reading the list of the class of '73 I was amazed at how clearly I remembered everyone. I loved the Lycee, although by the time I left, it was time to go, and I would probably not have lasted the whole run. What a great time to have been a kid in New York." ----- From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Tom Teicholz writes: "I live in Santa Monica, CA with my wife Amy and daughter Natasha (6). I am a journalist and have also worked in the film industry as an executive and a producer -- my niche being remaking French Films (so that Lycee education did come in handy!)" ----- From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● From Beatrice ("Bea") Mezei-Rhodes : «I actually registered on a whim. Looked at the (AALFNY) website at the urging of Myrna Ann (Cath) who left the lycée same year as me. Myrna is really the only lycée student I have kept in touch with. She lives in Vermont, is married with one child Michael. (My sister) Fabienne Mezei lives in Mill Valley (Marin County), CA, no husband, no children. I live in Katonah, in upper Westchester.

I read that Mark Luksberg ’71 was looking for someone who knew him. WelI, I remember Mark. If he reads this, I'm the girl with the long hair, my name was Dominique Asper (now Reginato). I hope he remembers me! I 've been living in Geneva Switzerland for the past 30 years, I'm married, teaching music, and I have two boys also: Julien 17 and Raphael 14. If Mark wants to contact me he can do so by the Lycée Newsletter. I also wanted to inform you, that I've just come out with a new record that I made last summer, for Flute and guitar. It's music of the 20th century and it is called TEXTURES. If anyone is interested, he can contact me.

I did not have an easy time there, and yet I think back to those days with a great deal of fondness for many of my fellow classmates. However, I've got to admit that part of my goal as a teacher is to NOT do some of the things teachers did to me. I'd particularly like to know what happened to Dana and Bambi Sloan, Jonathan Gregg, Dinah Louda, Sophie Gorek, Virginia Cox, Diane Ansberry, and Scott Segal among others.» ● Albert Knapp writes: «Following many years of postgraduate training in Boston at the Brigham & Women's Hospital & Harvard Medical school, I returned to New York.
