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) (LSY: 3eme in 1941) tells us how the LFNY taught her to love and appreciate poetry in an article she contributed --"A Poem Is Good Company."

Jean-Pierre Harpignies ('68) (LSY: Terminale in 1968) is a loyal contributor to our newsletter, and this year he had outdone himself with a fascinating review of various topics related to the year 2015.

Michel Alix ('69) (LSY: Terminale in 1969) shared a very touching story he wrote, about his school days in 1966 (the year his mother passed away), with details about his brothers (both LFNY alumi) and his mother --Prof. Nelly Alix-- who taught Classes Elementaires from 1959 to 1966.

● For last year's December 2014 AALFNY newsletter, Marc Jensen (LSY: 1ere in 1975) sent us a write-up describing his year of training on l'Hermione -- the replica of the 216 ft frigate that brought La Fayette to the American Colonies with word of King Louis XVI's support of the revolution. For this year's newsletter, Marc was kind enough to send us another write-up, this time describing his actual voyage on l'Hermione. He left Grand Canaria on May 6th and landed in Yorktown, Virginia on June 5th, 2015.

Pierre Daudin ('94) (LSY: 7eme in 1987) was kind enough to share with us two of his poems -- "Même pas peur" and "Guillemette."

Akli Hadid ('01) (LSY: 7eme in 1994) shared a poem he wrote in Franglais entitled "So said Lafayette et Washington."
