1955Class Notes Archives----- From December 2011 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Yves Feder nous écrit: "Si cela vous interesse, mon CV pour nos concerts satiriques de musique classique est dans ce link. [click on link below] Comme vous verrez, je ne suis pas tres serieux :-) " ● From Bruno A. Quinson's website: "In 1996, after 36 years in book publishing I retired from the business and decided I wanted to be involved directly in the arts. Not just serve on some boards as a trustee, but actually physically participate in the arts. During the summer of 1996 I signed up for a charcoal drawing course at the Interlaken School of Art, now known as IS183, located just outside of Stockbridge, MA.....For the summer I have built a studio in my home in the Berkshires where I try to go work at least 5 days a week for approximately 3 hours at a time. Painting just puts me into another world....... I sign my paintings "Grand-Pere Quinson" to remind my grandchildren and great grandchildren when they do come along of my French heritage. My book publishing career began at Simon & Schuster in 1960 after I graduated from Williams College and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. After 5 years I went to Golden Books for another 5 years and then became President of Larousse & Co., a subsidiary of Librairie Larousse in Paris, France. I stayed 12 years then moved to Macmillan Publishing as President of its General Books and Reference Division. In 1988 I became CEO, Publisher and President of Henry Holt & Co a subsidiary of the Holtzbrinck Publishing empire out of Stuttgart, Germany from which I retired in 1996. Today I serve as a Trustee of the Museum of the City of New York, the Leopold Schepp Foundation, Graywolf Publishing. I have also served on a number of other boards, among them, the Eudora Welty Foundation, Manhattan Theater Club, the Robert Frost Place and the Lycee Francais de New York to name just a few."
