Daniele studied art and photography at Clark University, Massachusetts.

Daniele has exhibited in the South of France, New England, and the Bay Area."

After graduate school, she 'stumbled into radio', when a station manager heard her and liked her voice. When she moved back to New York, voice-overs seemed like a natural continuation of what she had been doing. 'I was a teacher for many years before I got into voice work, so I jumped at the chance to do voice-over coaching.' These days, Judy happily juggles life with her husband, her son, coaching, studying foreign languages, playing the piano and contra-dancing."

Married and father of three children who love to sift through the old LFNY yearbooks when dad was at school and wore that awesome uniform. I work for France's national weather service. It's nice to read class notes from old friends like Alexandra Giurgiu, Karine Lestelle and Isabelle Beaudry. Other class of '76 info: I lost track of Emmanuel Jaeger (sorry Isabelle !) but Olivier Martin is alive and well and living near Paris. He's a physics research director and is married with two children. Nicolas Haimo lives in Paris and is a professional musician (news given by Marc Jensen). Denis Logerot is a vet-doctor, lives in eastern France and likes to take pictures from his ultra-light hang-glider-plane (but I haven't seen him in 25 years)." ● From Jenny Skoble: "I am an attorney in Los Angeles, California, representing children who have been removed from their families due to abuse and neglect. I am married to Lou Levinson, and we are the parents of Eli, age 10. I am trying to figure out how to teach him French - all the French stuff in LA is way over on the Westside! Any old classmates, please email or call me." ----- From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Maria Blacque-Belair wrote: "Would love to say hello to all my old pals of that year (still in touch with Beatrice de laTaillade et Julie Bloom. I live in NY, married with 2 five years old twins, a boy and girl, Sami and Maia. I work with refugees, which is my passion and led me to humanitarian work in many war zones. If anybody would like to get in touch, please contact me at [email address available upon request]" [Editor's Note: Maria actually worked as an emergency relief worker in Bosnia between 1992 and 1996. She was quoted in 'Another Day in Paradise: International Humanitarian Workers Tell Their Stories', an anthology of stories by humanitarian workers from around the world: "I became friendly with the people on the street – an old woman, a young boy. And without these attachments I don't know how I would have gotten through these four years. The war was personal for me. Some might say I over-identify and that I suffer from bystander guilt. I know this is true. When I am next to people who are suffering, I must do something. I have no choice. I feel so lucky that this is not my family, not my grandmother, not my mother. And this is the motivation for action. I really think that I didn't have post-traumatic stress or even burn-out because of this, because of my relationships and my passion for the work. It was tiring and dangerous, but the feedback was knowing we made a difference even in one person's life was so satisfying."] ----- From Winter 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Isabelle (Baudry) McDonald wrote: "I am married with 3 children : Alex age 17, Katherine age 15, Emily age 12. I am lliving and working in Montclair, NJ as a Learning Disabilities Specialist in private practice. I had dinner with another classmate Frederica Adelman about 6 months ago. We had not seen each other in about 25 years . It's amazing how the years are flying by. I have totally lost touch with the majority of my classmates unfortunately but have quite good memories of my four years at the Lycee and the terror of preparing for the dreaded Bacheo." ----- From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Karin Lestelle wrote: “Based in Stamford, Connecticut, I practice immigration law with firm of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, a law firm specializing in the area of global immigration and nationality law for the corporate sector.

Life has been great so far. I have done humanitarian work in Bosnia, Iraq, Africa and returned to NY four years ago. Working with refugees in the city.

The Lycée is a very special place for me. My two sisters Ilona de Garcia '74 and Florica Giurgiu '75 and my brother, Dan Giurgiu '81 are all Lycée graduates. I believe that the Lycée gave me many gifts - ones that I have carried throughout my lifetime. They include a background in multiculturalism and a readiness to respect others and their differences. I am especially pleased that I have been able to pass these gifts on to my children. My daughter Serena and I shared the same first grade teacher - Madame Liliane Carriglio. Although she has recently retired, Madame Carriglio imparted to my daughter all the special knowledge that I remember her for - specifically an introduction to great artists such as Picasso and Modigliani. My daughter also studied in the same classroom which her aunt occupied for 6th grade and that I spent my 4th grade year in. (I shouldn't fail to mention that I got married at 95th Street! ----- From February/March 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Nicolas Haimo lives in Paris.
