Visit me and friends on our blog: hudsontrail.wordpress.com or contact me at coolchatte [at] hotmail.com if looking to volunteer. I also hang out at the Manhattan Bridge Club when in the City. Have yet to discover a Lycee alumnus at the card table."

Anne-Renee de Fontnouvelle ('54) saw her name listed in our newsletter's A la Recherche des Anciens Perdus section and wrote: "I am not 'Lost', but to help with your alumni data, I......am the daughter of the Founder of the Lycee, Charles de Ferry de Fontnouvelle. He was President of the Lycee from the day it opened its doors and was active in his office at 3 East 95th Street until the age of 79. He continued to commute from our home in Locust Valley, Long Island to the Lycee until the week of his death in 1956. My brother Charles de Fontnouvelle ('43) also attended the Lycee and died in battle during WWII.'

Jean-Pierre Cauvin wrote: "Several of us who shared classes in the early fifties had a festive reunion near Paris in June 2005: Guy de Catalogne ('54), Alexis Sossinsky ('54), Renaud Segalen ('54), Dominique Lucet O'Cornesse ('54) and myself. I continue to teach but am looking forward to retiring in a couple of years. My wife Louisa and I will be moving into a new house some time this spring or early summer."

Jean-Pierre Cauvin wrote: "A festive reunion of Anciens des années 1952-1954 took place just outside of Paris, last June 24. After much sleuthing to track down those with whom contact had been lost, and thanks to much e-mail communication across continents and oceans, the following alumni spent a memorable afternoon together at the home of Guy de Catalogne and his wife, Denise, in Le Vésinet: Maryse Haan Anderson (Falls Church, VA), Alain Brodin (Paris), Jean-Pierre Cauvin (Austin, TX), Fabrizia de Ferrariis-Salzano Pratesi (Rome), Dominique Lucet O'Cornesse (Paris), Gisela Mangones Vallat (Orlando, FL), Renaud Segalen (Neuilly-sur-Seine), Alexis Sossinski (Moscow). We were privileged to haveour "prof de philo" of yore, Jacques Fauve (Paris), join us. In most cases more than forty years had elapsed since we had last seen each other. Yet the closeness and depth of the friendships that had been forged in the Lycée years were immediately and joyfully revived. Plans are already set to meet again in 2002."
