Eléonore Zimmermann nous a écrit qu'elle "pleure la perte de son compagnon de 38 ans, Sverre Lyngstad, décédé le 2 mai 2011. Professeur de lettres, né en Norvège, il était connu pour ses traductions du Norvégien, de Knut Hamsun en particulier, sur qui il a écrit une longue étude (Knut Hamsun. novelist, a Critical Assessment) et dont il a traduit tous les romans les mieux connus, notamment Hunger, ainsi que plusieurs romans d'autres auteurs norvégiens contemporains."

● "I was an M.D. student when in 1971 I entered the Neurochemistry Lab of Hôpital de la Salpêtrière to meet with Dr. Nicole Baumann and discuss with her the possibility of receiving some training in neurochemistry........Nicole had received an M.D.–Ph.D. training. Humdrum nowadays, this was certainly not the case in France in the mid 20th century. Such a double training was even more exceptional for a young woman neurologist. But is there anything that is not exceptional in Nicole’s career? As an M.D., she specialized in neurology mostly
at Hospital de la Salpêtrière, birthplace of neurology......Energy, passion, enthusiasm in the search for excellence. These are the qualities that probably best define Nicole Baumann. This is how I’ve always known Nicole, how she still is, and how we all wish her to remain."

DECES: Sebastien Laurentie ('49) shared this with us: "Cher amis: Triste nouvelle. Jacques Rouxel ('49) est mort il y a quelques jours. Il etait en premiere et en math-elem de 47 a 49. Je crois qu'il est retourne en France apres le bac et qu'il a fait HEC. Il a connu une certaine notoriete dans les annees soixante grace a une emission de tele "Les Shaddok", sorte de dessin anime loufoque. Le deuxieme principe de la logique shaddok est: "pourquoi faire simple alors qu'on peut faire complique?", remarque que s'attiraient certains eleves de philo lorsque notre prof, Alyette Sotiroff, rendait les copies. Preuve que les etudes sont utiles." To view further details from Le Monde.fr of April 27, 2004, click on the link.

Eleonore Zimmerman emails us: “I have lost contact with all my class mates. Of course, I was at the Lycée for only one semester, which means I had time to become close friends only with two or three. But it was a small, quite close-knit class, with many people I liked. I got my second bacho in 1949 (obtaining the first mention "Très Bien" in the Lycée's history, I was told at the time!). Any e-mail you may have of people in that class would be welcome.”

Jean-Pierre Radley is alive and well half-a-mile west of the original Lycée, retired for some time from the absurdities of commerce, now renting out his brains to those who need help, advice, and even hand-holding in connection with computers running on Unix.Tout cela à part, sa santé est bonne, et il vient de fêter son 69ème anniversaire, ainsi que le 66ème de son frère Philippe '52; cela c'est passé à un diner offert par leur mère, qui ne se permêt pas d'être encombrée par son age (92!).

Michel Kadinsky-Cade habite a Chicago et est en contact avec Paul Lochak. Il espère voir apparaître eventuellement un annuaire des anciens élèves.
