Alumni Creative


Articles submitted by alumni are now posted as PDF files on the Class Notes page of this newsletter, under the class year of each person. Those articles (listed below) can also be accessed by clicking on the links on this page.

Gabrielle Griswold ('44) has become the de-facto historian of the AALFNY. In previous editions of our newsletter, and to date, she has written seven lively articles memorializing what it was like to attend the Lycée in its early years. She has very graciously offered to combine them into one single article, which makes for fascinating reading. She has also contributed several old photos.

Dorothy Grace Barnhouse ('51) shared her fascinating biography with us.

● An article by Renee Marton ('65), Hunts Point -- New York's food market links past and future --was recently published in the Fall 2013 edition of NY FOOD STORY-The Journal of the Culinary Historians of NY.

Dominique de Ziegler ('67) has written two more articles for his continuing travelogue series. The first is about a trip with his son to Austria, Poland, and Auschwitz. The second describes his adventures, also with his son, along Le Chemin de Compostelle.

Michel Alix ('69) contributed a story for out newsletter, and said: "[My] short story shares the humor of a late Peckinpah film and the science-fictionality of a Vonnegut work. Enjoy."

Rafael Rodriguez ('71) sent us a fun-to-read reminiscence (with photos) about a Rallye Promenade organized by LFNY alumni in 1975.

Marc Jensen ('76) sent us a fascinating account of his training aboard L'Hermione "a replica of the 216ft frigate that brought La Fayette to the American Colonies with word of King Louis XVI's support of the revolution." Marc intends to be part of the crew on its voyage across the Atlantic starting April 18th, 2015.

Marc Brice ('83) shared with us a touching and humorous excerpt --entitled "The Reality of Brice"-- from a book he is writing.

Carole (Devèze) Dupeyron ('88) submitted a touching story about the first time she had to lie to her young daughter.

Olivia (Wildenstein) Abittan ('01) shared a story she wrote --"The Brink"--and said : "I had a bit of mid-life (hopefully not mid-life -- more like a third-of-my-life) crisis, thus was born the following story! I wrote it on my actual birthday and this is the first time it will be printed."
