1993Class Notes Archives(Click on Pdf links ("related downloads") to the right, bottom, for more photo archives, and yearbook pictures) ----- From December 2011 AALFNY Newsletter ----- Videos of LFNY alumni on the internet: ● Valérie MacCarthy sings Carmen by Bizet (click on link below) ● Olivier Bardet wrote: "I have three kids , was living in Madrid and am now moving to Rome to work in commodities trading for a large utility. My kids who were attending the Lycee francais de Madrid will follow on at the Lycée français de Rome." ● Valérie MacCarthy "is a professional Opera Singer working in some of the great houses around the United States and Europe. She was born in the Melting Pot that is New York City to a French mother and American father and started traveling before she can even remember. These travels awakened a passion for the variety of cultures, languages and art found across the planet and her work as a singer gave her a chance to see even more of the world. All the while, a burning love for jewelry design had always existed, a little hobby her grandmother had ignited by giving her a box of beads and string as a child. Through the years, she collected various stones, beads and ideas that she would subsequently turn into marvelous creations. Her fellow opera singers were the first to take notice and immediately bought whatever she was wearing right off of her. Everyone began to take notice when even a publishing company asked if she might write a book about her work (Beading with Gemstones). Three years ago, Valérie moved to Paris on a bit of a whim and launched a company called Simone Gabor. The French press (Vogue), loved it, and the American press (Women’s Wear Daily) took notice too. It was therefore obvious that Valérie needed to let everyone know that the opera singer and jewelry designer were one and the same. It is for this reason that in March 2010 she launched her new brand, Valérie MacCarthy. But the story doesn’t end there! All the while, Valérie has not only been singing opera, but has added Pop to her repertoire." (http://www.valeriemaccarthy.com/) ● Dr. Marie Caroline Piché "AHMC Palliative Care Program Director and Hospice of the North Country Medical Director, was a guest speaker for the Alice Hyde Nursing Home Family Council. She spoke to family and friends of the residents about the MOLST (Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment) program which emphasized the importance of improving and maintaining effective communication about end of life care that is carried throughout all health care settings. 'Advance Care Planning is a good way to bring peace of mind to patients, residents, and their families,' said Dr. Marie Caroline Piche. 'It is very important to make decisions about care while we are still able to speak for ourselves and not to wait for a crisis to happen—this makes it easier for us and our loved ones.' " (Nov. 2009: http://alicehyde.com/news/index.asp?nmonth=0&nyear=2009) ● Arnaud Desbiez "is a conservation biologist who has been working in the Brazilian Pantanal since 2002. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has been funding Arnaud’s work since 2005. He was made their Regional Conservation and Research Coordinator for Latin America in 2010. Although Arnaud is French he has spent very little time in his native country and has worked in countries as diverse as Belize, Argentina, Bolivia and Nepal. [He has] a Ph.D in Biodiversity Management from Durrell Institute of Conservation Ecology." (http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/research/researchstaff/ecological/) ● Lucas Dikkers wrote that he "is happily married, in Geneva Switzerland. After more than 10 years with P&G, Lucas recently started a Swiss-based company, uniquely positioned as a scientific beauty expert. Thanks to combinations of food supplements and cosmetcis, Pure Suisse Laboratoire 'cares for you inside & out'. If interested, please have a look @ www.puresuisse.com and I'm to hear from 'old' or potential new friends: lucas.dikkers@puresuisse.com" ----- From November 2010 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dr. Sophie Bartsich wrote: "After graduation, I completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Cornell University, followed by a graduate degree in design at Parsons School of Design. I traveled widely for a year, studying art, Italian language, and Spanish language. I then returned to New York to pursue a medical career. I completed medical school at Cornell Medical College in 2005. This year, I will complete my Plastic Surgery training at New York Presbyterian Hospital. I will be opening my practice in New York City in July 2011, and will be accepting new patients at that time. On January 1st, 2011, I will be married to Alexander Bozic. I look forward to staying in touch with my Lycée Francais family." ● Stéphanie Busson wrote: "After seven years in Nashville, TN, I have returned to France.

Philippe est podologue à Eperney et Frederic vit à Lyon." ----- From July 2008 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Frederic Vuillet nous écrit: "Ca m'a fait tres plaisir de découvrir ce site, d'avoir un peu de nouvelles et de voir certaines tronches de crabes que je ne croyais pas revoir un jour....Remember ze time! Un grand salut à tous !!" ● " Né sur le territoire français, c’est aux States que Franck Desbhy alias Frades grandit et prend ses marques dans la production d’instrus. Il y passera 26 ans avant de venir s’installer en France, il y a 2 ans, pour développer son activité. « Tombé » dans le Hip Hop à l’époque de Run DMC, Jam Master Jay entre autres, il a vécu l’épopée du mouvement depuis la base et de surcroît, sur place. Autant dire que ses influences sont multiples et teintées de purisme américain. Multiples car, d’origine Ivoirienne, il a su s’inspirer des rythmes afro de ses racines, et des diverses ambiances et mélodies européennes, lors de ses nombreux voyages. Ce qui fait que sa musique est unique et ne ressemble qu’à lui. Un autre élément caractéristique de sa « patte » est aussi reconnaissable : la présence d’une grosse caisse lourde et saturée mêlée à des sons ou chants mélodieux. En même temps, rien là d’étonnant si on remonte aux sources de ses influences, on y trouve tant du Motown, Michael Jackson, que du Dre ou du Timbaland, entre autres. Aujourd’hui référencé sur Acid Planet (www.acidplanet.com) depuis 2005 où il est même 1er au classement Top Artistes Hip Hop ; Frades vend des prods un peu partout à travers le monde ; en Chine, au Chili, au Moyen Orient…et n’a pas fini d’enrichir son carnet d’adresse et d’acheteurs via ce site..Ainsi, de nombreux artistes et producteurs lui commandent des beats, instaurant ainsi une marque de qualité et de reconnaissance dans le milieu. En passe de monter un label associatif incluant la production et l’évènementiel ; il a su s’entourer d’une équipe de soldats (zouk, hip hop, dancehall…) afin de développer les activités de cette structure dans un esprit convivial voire communautaire mettant à l’honneur la diversité culturelle et artistique. L’autre sensible différence de ce label, et pas la moindre, réside dans le fait que Frades développe sa musique dans le souci de satisfaire pleinement le client. Ainsi, affiner, remodeler, coller à la personnalité artistique tout en gardant son authenticité est son cheval de bataille. De nombreux projets découleront de cette structure, on peut déjà annoncer une compile en cours de réalisation ; affaire à suivre… " (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=96696690) ----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● “Cécile Doo Kingué is a founding member of the band DIBONDOKO, ‘the sound of Montreal’s cultural diversity in motion…..It's the sizzling and playful guitars of Cécile Doo-Kingué and Jordan Lerner-Ellis dancing through Cameroon and Russia via New York and Toronto.’ ” (From MySpaceMusic; http://myspace.com/dibondoko) ● Marine (Nouaille) Lesur wrote: "Hi guys: SOO good to hear from you all, and sooo funny to see all the pictures! Lamees, Jessica, Farida, Alexandra, Helene ... so many cool trick or treatings! I am still living in Miami and am working for Cartier ...Enjoying life and 3 & 6 years old daughters. Would love to hear from you. If you stop by give me a call at [telephone number available upon request from AALFNY]. I had lunch with Cecile Doo Kingue a few months ago. It was fun to catch up. She was on her way to Arnaud Desbiez's wedding!" ● Maxime Hibon wrote: "I just wanted to pass along the news release of my new job for your newsletter content! I often see, by the way, Bertrand Montagner who was my teacher in Première and is now working as Director of Human Resources for a pharmaceutical company. Sometimes I bump into Emilie Bouhet ('92) who just started working at Lacoste. The LFNY remains some of the best years so far!" The press release he sent us said: "Havas Media has announced the launch of Celebrities Consulting, a specialist unit aiming to offer a higher level of access to celebrities in the world of advertising, events, licensing, goodwill and corporate branding. Celebrities Consulting will be managed by Maxime Hibon, who will take the role of executive director at the new venture. Hibon will manage the group's links with key players in the world of fashion, music, cinema and sports. He started his career at Paradigm Talent Agency, moving to talent management agency William Morris and then to Wilhelmina Artist Management and the Marilyn Agency. Since the start of 2006, he has worked as an independent consultant for communications agencies....Hibon said: "Although this concept represents a new offering within agencies, the creation of Celebrities Consulting within our group is extremely logical. By centralising this process we can offer our clients and networks a service that is both simplified and more sympathetic to the sector." The new division will collaborate internally within Havas Media, particularly Havas Sports and Havas Entertainment, as well as service the needs of all of the group's agencies including the Euro RSCG global network. It will also operate independently within the market as a brand...." ----- From June 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Thomas Laffont wrote: "I attended Yale and graduated in 1997 with degrees in computer science and economics.
