1975Class Notes Archives----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Viviane de Milly wrote: "I am currently residing in New York City and have been working for the NYC Administration for Children's Services for the past 11 years. Over the years I have held several administrative positions (in Community Planning, parent/youth/foster parent advocacy) and am currently the Director of Quality Assurance for all of foster care in NYC. My experience in child welfare has been extremely rewarding in that I have had the opportunity to meet and work alongside some of the most talented, passionate and hard working people in NYC. With this work comes the challenges of working very long hours, and the responsibility of trying to improve the lives of children and families iinvolved with the child welfare system. If anyone is interested, my next move will probably be selling Margueritas (spelling??) on the beach; it's mindless, and seems relaxing. I have to find the right beach so if anyone has any ideas, please do share. I have two lovely daughters, ages 29 and 25. My eldest, Aliane, is an actress and dancer living in Los Angeles. My youngest, Elodie, just finished her Masters degree at the London School of Economics and is currently working (one block away from me) at the NYC Housing Preservation and Development). I have stayed in touch with a few people from the Lycee (Catherine Treboux ('75), Marina Baudoin ('75), Nicholas Haimo ('76), Patricia Karkoch ('75)) and through the Lycee Reunion had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with many people I hadn't seen in a very long time. Unfortunately we have all lost touch again, but the post reunion attempts at staying in touch were fun while they lasted. My biggest news at this time is my upcoming trip to Ghana. I will be working with a friend of mine who has an NGO focused on reproductive health. The organization also has an education and micro credit component. I am on the board of this organization and have been involved in some fund-raiding events here in NYC. If anyone is ever interested in attending please send me your contact information. If anyone has travelled to this area (and Togo) please share the "must see" places I shouldn't miss. Well that's my life in a nutshell. I am excited to read what everyone else is up to these days and if possible, try to get together again soon. Happy Holidays to all!" ● Claude Chaouloff wrote: "Nothing major to report here other than I bought an apartment recently on the East side, which just happens to be across the street from the Lycee! Would love to hear from any '75 grads." ● "Paris, France (May 2007): Lisiane Droal has joined Ipsos as Executive Vice President, Global Human Resources, in charge of all aspects of human resources, including recruitment, compensation and benefits, development and training, and performance management.

Living in Oakland, Calif., former home of the A's. My years at the Lycee seem so distant- as if they're part of a dream. Has anybody heard from Coco [Pierre Cauvin]? I would like to get hold of him." ● Seth Lewis nous écrit qu'il est "Executive Assistant Manager Food & Beverage à l'InterContinental Paris le Grand, et voyage une bonne partie du temps, en temps que Directeur Regional F&B pour InterContinental." ● Marco Elser is CEO and Partner, Capital Markets, Advicorp PLC.

(From: http://www.advicorp.com/eng/team/index.html) ----- From December 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Cyril Xuereb nous écrit: "Paris, le 23 mai 2006: Ne faisant pas officiellement partie d’une promo du lycée (en l’occurrence la mienne aurait été celle de 75), car j’avais « quitté » (lire m’étais fait virer de) ce dernier à la fin de la troisième, ce fut avec grande surprise que j’entendis une voix du passé au téléphone, celle d’Hubert Mattia, m’invitant à me joindre à une réunion d’anciens élèves. Frileux de nature en ce qui concerne ce type de réunion, pour des raisons évidentes, je répondais oui, malgré une certaine réserve. De plus, cette réunion allait avoir lieu sur… Un bateau-mouche! Plus kitch, tu meurs. Bien m’y prit, car c’est avec grand plaisir que je retrouvais des potes, certains qui avaient été proches, d’autres moins, mais tous super sympas. Un peu plus gris (ou même virant au blanc), un peu plus ronds (ah, ces déjeuners d’affaires) et un peu plus sages (ou peut-être que non), je revis ce 23 mai Hubert (et sa charmante épouse), Andrea (Migliuolo), Seth (Lewis), Maurith (Orman), Jean-Marc (Jacot), Jérôme (Desforges), Jean-Gilbert (Fabri) et Benoît (Cabanne). Avec un peu de nostalgie, beaucoup de rires et certaines anecdotes compromettantes, j’ai passé un agréable moment à bord du Capitaine Fracasse, puis, comme toute bonne réunion se doit, à finir la soirée dans un troquet du coin. Jean-Gilbert a eu la bonne idée d’apporter son ordinateur et nous a passé les photos de la réunion de novembre 05 à New York. Re pincement au cœur ! Je tiens à remercier Hubert pour sa persévérance, pour m’avoir sorti de ma caverne et de m’avoir donné la possibilité de renouer des liens bien trop longtemps négligés, ainsi que tous ceux qui ont prit part à l’organisation de cette réunion. Pour tous les sceptiques comme moi qui fuient les réunions d’anciens élèves, tentez le coup au moins une fois, vous risquez d’avoir des bonnes surprises. J’en ai eu une et j’attends la prochaine avec impatience.... Un revenant, Cyril Xuereb" ----- From February 2006 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Marco M. Elser wrote: "Salut!! I became a dad (Henry was born January 23rd) for the third time.. I still live in Rome ----- From June 2005 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Several alumni of the class of '75 held a reunion in Paris on February 18, 2005. Click on the link below for details and photos. ● Claude Chaouloff wrote that he has "started a new business which represents over 100 luxury apartments in Paris that are available for short- term stays (from one week to 6 months). Next time you're thinking of a hotel, think again as you can get your own apartment with all the amenities and really live like a Parisian. Please check out www.parisluxeapt.com [or click on link below] for more information or call 212-560-6489" ----- From Winter 2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Seth Lewis wrote: "Sorry for the lack of communication from my last update about two years ago - we live in interesting times. Am still in London but in the meantime have completed an MBA - better late than never, successfully undergone a heart valve replacement - earlier than I would have liked but feel much better for it, lost a chunk of weight - should have done that years ago, and have recently started a new job as Director of Brand Standards with InterContinental Hotels - basically the link between our 140 hotels and the global brand team; a great exciting challenge." ● Philip Davis wrote: "My five-year old company conducts due diligence, competitive intelligence, and business security services for corporations and law firms. Prior to founding Research Analytics, I was director of forensic accounting and Internet security services at an international investigation firm in Washington, DC. Prior to that, I was a senior auditor for the Department of Defense's Office of the Inspector General. In 1996, I founded Potomac Runners, a free, year-round marathon and triathlon training program that trains more than 500 runners a year in Washington, DC. Since 1990, I have competed in more than 100 multi-sport and endurance races, including 18 marathons and 7 Ironman distance triathlons. I have a Master of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Virginia and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Roanoke College, where I also played Varsity Basketball." ----- From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Marco Maximilian Elser writes: “Hi... I attended LFNY from Sept. 1964 to June 1971. I found the website and am enthusiastic about touching base with my old friends. After LFNY, I went to Lycée Chateaubriand in Rome, where I received my Bac in 1976. I then returned to NY to work for a year before going to college in Cambridge, MA. I now live in Rome (I've been here for 19 years) with my wife and 10 year old son (another is on the way for December!). If anyone ever stops by Rome, I would love to see them for a Cappuccino!” ● Claude Chaouloff works in the publishing business, for Newsweek. ● Elizabeth (Nagy) Masters writes: “I have a really fond spot for the Lycee. The education I received left me completely committed to bilingual education and multiculturalism. Fortunately, my husband is similarly inclined and we are able to send our son, Alexander, to an international school here in Washington. I keep in touch with Colette Hyman and would love to hear from Margaret and Mary Bowden” ----- From March/April 2002 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Hubert Mattia writes: “Since 1969, I’ve been living in France. After studies in Philosophy, I spent 10 years as a CFO in banks and Insurance, then I created a startup and was hired by HP in 1999. I'm married, 3 children: Thomas 12, Arnaud 5, and finally a girl Bénédicte 3. I 'm working and living in Paris. In August I met one of my fellow alums Orman Maurith who was in class with us; since then I've reached about 10 fellows of the class...It's pretty funny to have contacts more than 30 years after! “ ----- From November/December 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Barbara (Levi) James writes: "After the strictness of the Lycée it was difficult to adjust to the US educational system. I survived, went on to a career in advertising, then in publishing. Now I'm a business owner and mom to two young children, and have just begun to appreciate what I learned many many years ago." ● Robert Cravens writes: "I have been married to Christy since 1988, and we have been living in Paris for the past two-and-a-half years. Our son, Howard, is almost one and our second child is due in early 2002. I have unfortunately lost touch with my Lycée classmates. Now that we are all comfortably "north of 40", I would love to hear from old "south of 20" friends." ● Andrea Migliuolo nous écrit d'Italie: "Un salut de ma part. L'amie de ma vie, Léa Parkan '74, m'a convaincu, j'ai pris courage et je vous écris (encore et toujours en français, d'ailleurs). Je vis à Rome, je travaille en Europe pour aider les entreprises ferroviaires à augmenter leur compétitivité dans le secteur de la logistique et, spécialement en ce moment après le 11 septembre, je pense très souvent à New York, au LFNY et à cette période incroyablement heureuse de ma vie. Amitiés aux vieux amis/amies." ● Patrick Guillemot writes: "This is a general note to all the students who've graduated from Terminale in '75. I would love to hear from y'all and reestablish contact. I know it's been close to a lifetime and a lot has happened since then, but I bet we all cherish these good old years (even the revendication). Does anyone remember shocking Mr Choquet as all the guys strolled into his Philo class in skirts and guess what the gals were wearing? Does anyone remember COCO (Pierre Cauvin)?? If anyone knows his whereabouts, please drop me a note." -----From July/August 2001 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Seth Lewis is living in London, pursuing a long and interesting career in hotels and restaurants, food, wine and the new economy. He would love to hear from Claude Chaouloff '75, Robert Cravens '75, Laz Kaufman '75 , Alain Natchev '75, Richard Andersen '75 and others. ● Lisiane Droal became a Clinical Psychologist in 1982; she worked as such in Paris hospitals for a couple of years then studied Work Psychology and went into the area of Human Resources management.

She lives in Paris with spouse and 7-month old baby boy. She adds « Il y a d'autres anciens élèves du LFNY: mes cousines, Daniele, Anita et Laurence Quéré; mon frère, Luc Droal; Philip Davis '75, et Christine Guillou '76.» ● Guilaine Auguste est à Genève; elle est mariée à Pierre Alain, banquier, et a 2 enfants. ----- From November/December 2000 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Jean-Marc Jacot lives in Paris and now works as a French-English translator and interpreter after a career in publishing.
