Warm greetings from Provence." ● Renee Marton, CCP: “Before reviving her long standing interest in the relationship between food and culture by acquiring a Master’s degree in Food Studies at NYU, Renee Marton worked in restaurant kitchens for 15 years, including 12 as Executive Chef.

Exploratrice de l'avenir, la quête passionnée de l'artiste est, de plus, paradoxale. En effect, la peintre est également Conservatrice......des Musées de Troyes. Alors attention, ses papiers sont à l'oeuvre et, tel un palimpseste, un(e) Béatrice TABAH peut en cacher un(e) autre ! » (http://artactif.fr/indext/tabahb.htm) ● In a review of Elizabeth (Kramon) Harlan's latest book, George Sand, the Yale University Press said: ".....Drawing on archival sources —much of it neglected by Sand’s previous biographers— Elizabeth Harlan examines the intertwined issues of maternity and identity that haunt Sand’s writing and defined her life. Why was Sand’s relationship with her daughter so fraught? Why was a woman so famous for her personal and literary audacity ultimately so conflicted about women’s liberation? In an effort to solve the riddle of Sand’s identity, Harlan examines a latticework of lives that include Solange, Sand’s mother and grandmother, and Sand’s own protagonists, whose stories amplify her own. Elizabeth Harlan is the author of two novels, Footfalls and Watershed. She lives in Paris." (http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=0300104170) ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● (Picture was reprinted with permission from Vintage Poster Works--http://www.vintageposterworks.com) "1963 Villars Gala of Ice Figure Skating Advertising Sporting Poster. This......design poster advertises a gala ice skating event......The ice skater names printed on the poster are:........Joya Utermohlen ['65] Olympic champion at Innsbrook......." ● Dominique Tabah ('64) wrote: "Ma soeur Béatrice Tabah ('65) est peintre et conservateur de musée, elle vit à Troyes." ● Jacqueline (Pujol) Lincy ('65) and Jean-Claude, daughter and son-in-law of the original owners, closed their Pierre au Tunnel restaurant on August 13, 2005. The restaurant had been owned and operated by the same family since 1950, and was one of the oldest family-run restaurants in New York City. Tis is an excerpt from a review by Bryan Miller (New York Times, 11/8/1991): "Owned by Jacqueline and Jean-Claude Lincy, 41-year-old Pierre au Tunnel has a warm, inviting aura. You pass through the spacious bar with several tables along one wall en route to the dining room, which has brick walls on one side, stucco on another, timbered beams overhead, red banquettes and a fireplace adorned with a giant stag's head. Don't expect lanky 22-year-old aspiring actresses as waitresses. The small French women who seem to have been here since the Eisenhower Administration appear timeless. They go about their ministrations with alacrity, although the pace can be slow sometimes at dinner." ● Considering a vacation apartment-rental in Paris?

For further details, and a biography, please visit this website: http://hometown.aol.com/rogernyc/TibuObituary.html ----- From November/December 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Yves le Scieller writes: "I really did lose all contact with the Lycée since '65, but felt nostalgic after the recent tragic events in the U.S. I've moved around a bit since 1965 (Canada, France, Canada again, Colombia, France again) and have ended up in Madrid, Spain (cherchez la femme!) where I am now dedicated to enjoying a 5 year old kid (it came late in life, but it would have been a shame to miss this experience). I am now tryng to contact my ex-camarades, for possible chit-chat through e-mail or maybe even meet with them since I do have to travel quite a bit for my work - I try to run the international operations for a Spanish Information Technology firm which takes me to the States and south, south, south and farther south of the border - and let’s face it, also just out of curiosity about where life has led everybody. Since the late 60s and early 70s when I saw a lot of Francis Jacot ’65 and Charles Pinto ’66 because we all lived in Montreal and studied at McGill, the only people I have seen are Michèle Tremblay ‘65, in the early 80s, once, in Paris when she exhibited her paintings at a show at Le Grand Palais, and Pierre Allain ‘65, with whom I talk to regularly over the phone and get to see from time to time in Paris. I hope this gets read and somebody feels like initiating contact." ----- From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- Fabrizio Franzi emailed us from Brussels: «It's been a long time and my oldest son is older than I was when I left the Lycée ! I have just discovered the web site, thanks to Steve Ditlea '65 who told me about it. Learning that Mssrs. Brodin, Galy, Kiefer and Choquet were gone has been a shock, I would have seen them again with pleasure and fondness. I was stupid enough to procrastinate and now ...it's too late. I was happy to hear about Tessie Arpels '67 and Oudi Recanati '67; for one year we were in the same 5e classroom at 72nd. For those who are interested, my old old friend Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo '67 is in Santiago de Chile Many years ago, I saw Brigitte Sallebert '65 in Paris. The sad thing for those of us who went to the Lycée is that we all spread out after the Bac and it's been so easy to lose track of one another. Now, thanks to Internet, we can correct this. I spent 5 years at the Lycée but went through 7 classes, so I remember many people. Someone said that in November 1963, when Kennedy was shot, he was going ice skating (Central Park at 63rd no doubt). Personally, my 3e class was going to play soccer against another school: I think that after our coaches discussed it, we ended up playing the game.» ----- From November/December 2000 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Victor de la Serna emailed us, just before our May 30th Spring Cocktail: "Many of us throughout the world will be unable to be there, but the fact that we now have a way to communicate will certainly make us pause for a moment on May 30th and think of old friends and good days at 95th St., way back in another era..." ● Francis Jacot emails " Dominique Ferran was my "best friend" for several years. I was very touched to read his letter. Keep up the good work. I will certainly do what I can to spread the alumni network." ● Geneviève (Giraud) Boulinier nous écrit de Paris en nous remerciant pour le bulletin de liaison: «C'est toujours un formidable voyage dans le temps et dans l'espace que ces nouvelles en même temps toutes fraîches et si lointaines...» Elle travaille au Service de Presse du Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. «Je suis une des nombreux six Giraud qui ont fréquenté le LFNY entre '56 et '62 et qui ont gardé de cette période un merveilleux souvenir.» ----- From March 2000 AALFNY Newsletter ----- Dominique Ferran est venu visiter le Lycée en mars après une absence de plus de 40 ans Il est organiste et claveciniste au Conservatoire de Musique-Poitiers. Son frère, Frank ’60, habite aussi la France. ----- From November 1999 AALFNY Newsletter ----- Francis Jacot habite depuis 20 ans le Quebec, dans une region rurale et dans une maison auto-construite. Il est medecin specialise en sante reproductive. Il court des marathons, escalade les Pyrenees, voyage parfois en canot, et joue encore au foot. |
