I moved to LA with my husband who is an actor and has greater opportunities here than he had in the SF Bay Area where we lived for three years while I served as a rabbi at Temple Sinai in Oakland. I also wanted to move back to LA because my two sisters live here and I have many nieces and nephews with whom I like to spend time." ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Karin Link recently co-authored Pioneer Square: Seattle's Oldest Neighborhoodand told us: "I wrote several sections, contributed several of the non-historical photographs and also provided preliminary editing help (credited in the preface) on all the chapters I did not write. The book concerns what later became the Pioneer Square Historic District, much of which was built soon after a great fire destroyed the area on June 6, 1889. The area became a national historic district in 1970 and also became City of Seattle historic district in the same year."

I went to The Dalton School and graduated from there in 1970. I was THE BEST french student at Dalton!!! Maybe I learned something at the Lycee!! Even though the Lycee was not the right school for me, I have fond memories of the other students and have been in touch with many of you in the past few years. My french was never great, but laughter and friendship and growing up and learning -- there is a universal language for all those things! I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis. I have been an executive recruiter in the adverising business forever. Divorced, no kids, still trying to get it right...." ----- From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter ------ ● Karin Link wrote: "After studying classical languages, in addition to history, art history and architecture at Barnard and Columbia, in 1977, I moved to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where I more or less have “gone native.” I obtained a Master of Architecture and an M.S. in Historic Preservation at the University of Oregon; but I have mainly lived in Seattle, where, for several years, I worked as part of the architectural staff of a number of architecture firms. For the past four years, I have been an independent historic preservation consultant and currently, most of my projects are historic district and historic neighborhood studies for the City of Seattle. Some of this work also involves city politics, which, even in Seattle, (as opposed to New York), can be surprisingly lively. I recently co-authored a book on Seattle’s Pioneer Square Historic District. It is being published by the University of Washington Press and is supposed to finally make its appearance this fall, (after all sorts of Hollywood behind the scenes mishaps)." ● Carole (Hanania) Pinto wrote: "We just had a Lycee reunion at Louis Le Grand in Paris which was attended by quite a few lyceens from my class including some from former classes; among the attendees were Roger Liwer ('68), Laurence Falzon ('70), Francois Bosson ('70), Maria van Heemstra ('70), Sybille Wieser ('70), Corrine Poujol, Jean Francois Galy ('69), and Jean Noel Marescot ('70)." ----- From November 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dr. Debbie (Heller) Lifschitz wrote: "[I have] terminated 12 years as chair of the English Department and 10 years as Assistant Dean at Michlalah-Jerusalem College.

That's just what happened last week, when I heard someone call my name at the Hotel Drouot in Paris. I turned around and recognized Sabine Hugueny ‘70, who was not only at the Lycée with me but also worked on Wall Street with me after we both finished Business School. She is now running an antique business out of London. We got together with a third alumnus, Laurence Falzon ‘70, who lives in Paris and spent the evening talking about so many things - it was amazing how much we had to catch up on!» ● Debbie (Heller) Lifschitz writes : « Married To Dr. Moshe Lifschitz (Orthopedics) for 27 years. 5 children (2 married), youngest 12 yrs. 5 grandchildren.

My daughters, Rebecca, 14, and Sophia, 11, keep me busy and challenged. As a mother I have come to appreciate more fully the excellent education I received at the Lycée. I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in my town (my office is 2 blocks away from my home). My husband, Tom Marcyes works as a film editor for ABC-TV's news show, 20/20." ● Suzanne Singer writes: “After earning a Masters' degree in Journalism, I spent 20 years as a television producer and programming executive, primarily for PBS (public television). I produced and programmed news and public affairs shows, as well as a series for pre-school children. My last television job was as executive producer for the documentary series, POV, for which I won two National Emmys. Five and a half years ago, I decided to leave television and pursue a different life path. I am currently attending Hebrew Union College, the seminary for the Jewish Reform movement, where I am studying to be a rabbi. If all goes well, I will be ordained in May of 2003. Aside from taking classes, I am also working on a thesis and serving as a rabbi for a small congregation in Victoria, BC, which I visit for one weekend a month. I currently live in Los Angeles with my husband, Jordan Lund, an actor and a Web producer. We have no children aside from our two cats, but are very fortunate in having seven nieces and nephews, to whom we are very close, living nearby. I hope that some of my classmates who graduated in 1970 will send in some news as well. Our year seems to be the only one without any Class Notes." |
