1978 (1 of 2 -more recent)----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Riccardo Guariglia informed us that he written a book --Correspondencia Real, Rio de Janeiro-Napoli (1844) "that was recently published by 'Thesaurus Editora' of Brasilia (bilingual edition, in Italian and Portuguese)." ● Greg Dale wrote: "Our daughter, Maya, has just turned two, and is the center of our lives. She's just starting to put sentences together, and even though she understands both English and Japanese, her little phrases are decidedly leaning towards the latter. The only French I can manage to pass on is when I sing "Frere Jacques" to her. We have taken her to Paris, though, and plan to visit often, so maybe she'll pick it up by osmosis. Work-wise things are going great. I just directed an original Japanese play at a famous, 1600-seat theater in Nagoya, and had the honor of being the first foreign director ever in its 110-year history. Happily, the play was a big success. In June, I'll be starring in my first major role here at the New National Theater, the equivalent of Broadway. Most of my lines are in Japanese and English, with a smattering of German. I hate to admit it, but my polyglot experience at the Lycée really has come in handy. I've also finally landed a literary agent, of sorts, in Hollywood, and hopefully he'll be able to sell my handful of screenplays. In the meantime, anyone out there who knows Nicole Kidman's dog-walker or Nathan Lane's masseuse and can get my script to them, your help is greatly appreciated. Just want to let Alain Benzaken ('78) know that I'd love to hear from him. I tried to send several emails to him and they all bounced back." ● Brigitte (Puillandre) Quesnel nous écrit: "Je vis à Rueil Malmaison dans la région parisienne depuis le mois de Septembre. J'ai déménagé à de nombreuses reprises suite aux différentes mutations de mon mari. Je suis mariée depuis 27 ans avec Lucien qui est cadre dans une société d'auteurs. Nous avons deux filles: Victoria, 22ans, étudiante en art dramatique à Lille et Elisabeth, 18 ans, qui est en hypokhâgne au lycée Montaigne à Bordeaux. Après l'université, j'ai enseigné l'anglais quelques années mais j'ai arrêté à la naissance de mes filles et je l'ai jamais regretté. Je serai ravie de retrouver d'anciens camarades, peut-être à l'occasion du 30ème anniversaire de notre promo." ● Carla (Rosen) Vacher wrote: "This past summer, we finally moved into the first renovated part of our landmark farmhouse in the Moselle region of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, so will be happily celebrating Christmas at home! (unfortunately guest quarters are not up and running until sometime next year, as those who have survived such projects will well understand.) On the volunteer front, in addition to my work as elected secretary of the Harvard Club of Luxembourg and coordinator for the newly-launched Wharton Club, I became involved in local civic action as part of a planning committee for our village." ● Rabbi Jonathan Feldman is Associate Director of Manhattan Jewish Experience. "A native New Yorker, Jonathan attended Cornell University and completed his Ph.D. in Philosophy at New York University. He received rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University. He enjoys exploring Central Park and its zoo with his wife Shifra and four young children..... Jonathan is known for his open smile, warm manner and readiness to answer any and all of your questions."
