Alumni CreativeArticles 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. ● Our "historian in residence" Gabrielle Griswold ('44) thought that since 2017 is the 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War I, it would be appropriate to tell us about her mother's participation in that war, as one of a relatively small number of American women to go overseas (as an official member of the American Expeditionary Forces). Her mother was at one time an English teacher at the LFNY, so Gabrielle's offering is particularly relevant. ● Edward Perry Gaskell ('47) has sent us his poetry in the past, which was printed in previous newsletter, and has done so again with his three "Poèmes Choisies" ● Catherine (Rocherolle)Lepoutre ('50) is a painter, and she shared some of her recent works with us. ● Our "traveller in residence" Dominique de Ziegler ('67) has contributed another article for his continuing travelogue series. He had already written about a trip with his son to Austria, Poland, and Auschwitz, and about another, also with his son, along Le Chemin de Compostelle. This time he keeps a promise made long ago to his daughter to take her to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and he shares the experience with us. ● Our "fiction author in residence" Michel Alix ('69) has written another fascinating piece for us entitled Le Silence des Anges about a handicapped young girl struggling with her metamorphosis from teenager to adult. ● Sylvia Flescher (’70) shared her story –“Elsa Lost and Found”-- that is touching in a way that will resonate with many of us who have wanted to know more about our relatives who were killed during the Holocaust. She wrote: “I have a story you might be interested in: Last summer, I discovered a diary that was written by my father's cousin who was killed at age twenty in Poland. It was deeply meaningful me to connect in this way with so many who have always remained anonymous to me. As it happens, I also spoke about Elsa's diary at Rabbi Suzanne Singer's (’70) Temple in Riverside, California, on the occasion of the Holocaust Memorial service.” ● Christopher Williams ('71) submitted "a short story about a bumbling professor who gets everything wrong about a case because he's a theorist, not a legal practitioner. Maybe LFNY students would get a kick reading about an idiotic prof.” |
