1980 (1of 2 --more recent)----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Hillary Ray wrote: "Hello everyone, it has been another busy year. Rose was born on 11 October, 2006 so she is now just over a year old. She is still not a great sleeper so it has been a bit of a struggle for her parents but she is doing well. Here are some pictures from Ella's 4th birthday party. Mark (wearing batman t-shirt) and I (dressed in pink with wings, I am the assistant fairy) decorated the house to resemble a rainforest, as it was raining outside and we could not go to the park as planned. Look out for the paper tress and sun!! I had the kids put stickers of birds, butterflies and dinosaurs on the trees. It was a lot of fun. Also notice the handmade decorations: butterflies, cookies and popcorn garlands. Sean just had his 6th birthday 2 days ago. We had a science party and again had lots of fun in the park. Luckily for you I do not have the pictures back yet-- yes I am shooting with film again as I prefer the resolution. Apologies to you all for being such a poor correspondent, it has been a challenging year, as they say!! Rose only started sleeping through a month ago, and I went back to work on a three-day a week basis in May. Wishing everyone a very happy holiday, thank you Roger for keeping the newsletter going and all your efforts. Hoping to see some of you in 2008. I would love to hear from others and how their year has been. Bisous, Hillary" ● "Anjali Maazel earned a French Baccalaureate from the Lycee Francais de New York, then received her BA in Romance Languages & Literature from Princeton University.

Elle nous écrit qu'elle a créé "une nouvelle organisation regroupant les professions du droit partageant une culturelle juridique francophone -- Organisation des Juristes d’Affaires Francophones (OJAF), organisation internationale non gouvernementale ayant son siège à Paris. L’OJAF s’adresse à tous les professionnels du droit des affaires (avocats, juristes d’entreprise, notaires, magistrats, universitaires, etc.) ayant en commun une même culture juridique et exerçant leurs activités au sein de l’espace francophone (68 pays membres de l’OIF). L’OJAF, lieu d’échange et de réflexion, a mis en place un outil informatique permettant à ces professionnels de débattre en ligne de questions juridiques les plus variées (voir les débats). Mais l’OJAF c’est aussi un regard porté sur le monde du droit et la francophonie par diverses personnalités (voir les vidéos). C’est également pour les adhérents une plus grande visibilité professionnelle à travers l’espace francophone : publications de leurs écrits, annuaire professionnel, actualité des associations nationales, etc." (To access the OJAF website, click on link below.) ● Donatella Lorch wrote: "In addition to three step kids: Madeline (15), Nicholas (13) and Alexander (10), my husband John (who works at the World Bank) and I have added one of our own: Lucas (2 1/2)." ● The News & Observer reported on 10/17/2007 that Amy (Nammack) Weiss' son "Zack Weiss put on a red polka-dot bow tie and a brown wool blazer, just a bit too long for his 9-year-old frame. The McDougle Elementary School student spent weeks planning for Tuesday night, when he and other fourth-graders would meet Jane Goodall, the primatologist who made profound discoveries about chimpanzee behavior...." Amy sent us a picture of the event (above) and wrote: "The boy in the bowtie and the little girl in front of him are my two kids, Zack and Jessie. Because of our involvement in a local Roots & Shoots group, we got to meet Dr. Jane Goodall at Duke University." |
