1962Class Notes Archives----- From June 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Svetlana (Bielosoub) Caton-Noble wrote: « Un appel télephonique d’une ancienne amie de classe est une surprise incroyable ! Clairs et beaux souvenirs vont à M. Pierre Brodin, Mme Micheline Tison-Braun et M. Kieffer. Grand merci à M. Theze de m’avoir presentée à l’association. A present je m’apprete à retourner au Lycée et presenter un spectable avec ma compagnie de danse classique, Lumiere Ballet! » Click on link below for more news of Sveltlana ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Ronnie Hess works for the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she is Director of Communications and Publications (Division of International Studies and Programs): “Ms. Hess is responsible for all internal and external communications, including print and electronic media, campus liaison, press and media relations. She also oversees International Studies and International Institute Web sites. She represents International Studies on the Arts Institute’s Assembly……Prior to joining International Studies in 1998, Ms. Hess was an award-winning broadcast journalist. She began her career at Wisconsin Public Radio and for many years was a CBS News reporter and producer, based in New York and Paris. She returned to public radio in the 1990s with positions at Minnesota Public Radio and in Chicago. She has written and produced television documentaries for A&E’s ‘American Justice’ series.” (From University of Wisconsin, http://www.intlstudies.wisc.edu/deansOffice/facstaffBio.asp?facId=3) ● Click on link below for news of Dr. M. Andre Vasu ----- From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Pierre Sauvage informed us that "Jean-Michel Giraud organized a wonderful reunion in Paris on Feb. 12." -----From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- William Rodarmor ('60) was kind enough to send us these updates on two of his classmates: ● Andre Vasu ('62), who practices thoracic surgery in Punta Gorda, Florida, avoided a close encounter of the blast kind with Hurricane Charley, whose 150-mph winds tore his roof and demolished his medical practice building. In his very grim photos, his office looks like a Baghdad bombing. Good thing André himself had the good sense to be 1,400 miles away in Rhode Island. He writes: "We watched on the radar screen as Charley went directly over our house. My wife Peg said, ‘Good thing we weren’t home. I would have been out of there at the last minute and would have been hit in the head with a flying 2 x 4.’ My F-27 sailboat went airborne, flipped 180 degrees, and smashed on the dock, amputating three ten-inch-thick pilings. Need new roof coverings but contents of home OK. Medical office destroyed. But all is well and we will come back to fight another day.” ● William continues: "Geoffrey Morson ('62) has made a splash of another kind, by contributing half a dozen biographies to the massive new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. “All my articles are on fairly specialized subjects,” Geoffrey writes from Cambridge, “but Hamilton will have a quite wide appeal.” That’s putting it mildly. An 18th century diplomat, Sir William Hamilton was famous both as an art collector and a jilted husband. His lovely young wife Emma took up with Lord Nelson, the already-married hero of the Nile, and they all then lived together openly in London. “That would create a stir even today,” writes Geoff. “In 1800, it was an outrage, but people had to swallow it. Nelson was the military hero of his era and was needed to defeat Napoleon at sea (which he did). It would be as if Laura Bush ran off with Dominique de Villepin. Or Madonna with Bill Clinton. Or Dolly Parton with Vladimir Putin.” [Editor's Note: We don't know whether Geoffrey knew it when he quipped about Laura Bush and Dominique de Villepin, but Dominique is a LFNY graduate, class of '71.] ● Ronnie Hess wrote: "I'm in France for the year and will reconnect with Colette Friedlander and Violaine Coulondres. Colette has remained a close family friend over the years……I'm teaching school in Dijon for the year and will return in May to the United States where I am director of communications in the Division of International Studies at the University of Wisconsin. I'm in Dijon not only to teach English at the "college" level but also to do research on French education. Reconnecting with some anciens eleves would be interesting for me. Similarly, if you know of any anciens profs who are in France I would also like to get in touch with them. My mother, Tina Hess, who taught English at the Lycee, lives in Florida and will be 94 on October 24. She still thinks fondly of her many years at the Lycee." ----- From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Jocelyn Radifera writes: “I retired from the World Bank in 1997, but have been appointed by my government to be Ambassador of Madagascar in Tokyo from this September 2003.” ----- From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Marjorie Zilliacus Wright recently sent in this news: «I just found the Lycée website. I have lived in Marlboro, VT for the past 30 years and visit New York often, but I have lost contact with all my classmates. I have seen Suzanne Slesin's name in the Times and in books for years! Also saw Pierre Sauvage's film about his life in WW 2 on TV. Does M. Kasriels still run his summer camp? I see the ad in the New York Times every year! I married soon after leaving the Lycée in 1962. My husband is a potter (his work can be seen at Gallery Dai Ichi Arts on 57th St.) We lived in Washington DC for 4 years, followed by 3 years in Japan, and since then have been here in Vermont. We have two sons and a 5 year old granddaughter. My French is probably OK, but difficult to write after too many years of no practice. I studied towards a MAT degree in teaching ESL and French, but ended up as a travel agent for 17 years. (Didn't really want to teach high school French!) Just stopped working in December. I would love to hear from anyone who may remember me.» ----- From March 2000 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ●Jean-Michel Giraud nous écrit, à propos de notre bulletin: ”Je profite de la présente pour exprimer toute ma reconnaissance à l’excellente équipe qui nous adresse ces nouvelles qui font renaître tant d’heureux souvenirs et, par la mémoire déjà, relient nos liens du passé.” ----- From November 1999 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dr. M. Andre Vasu writes to us from Punta Gorda, Florida, to express his condolences on the passing of Prof. Martin Kieffer. |
