1960Class Notes Archives----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● William Rodarmor wants your French literary recommendations. He has been asked to edit an anthology of French short stories about specific places in France for a book to be called France: A Traveler's Literary Companion. It is part of a series of lively anthologies published by Whereabouts Press in Berkeley, California, that includes Chile, Japan, Australia, Costa Rica, and a dozen more countries and cities. "I'm both an editor and a translator, so this is a dream job for me," says Rodarmor. He is looking for French short stories or excerpts from novels written in the 20th century, up to 5000 words long. "They can funny, sad or in between," he says, "and be about any part of France except Paris -- I have lots of those already. The stories must be contemporary, and I specifically need more women writers." Send your suggestions to rodarmor222 [at] aol.com. ● Lisa (Freymann) Wassong nous écrit: "Mon fils David a annulé son mariage mais n'a pas pu vendre ou faire quoique ce soit avec la lune de miel, alors je suis partie toute seul en "Mummy-moon" à Joburg et une semaine divine de Safari ! Superbe!!! Joyeux Noel et bonne année." ● Colette (“Sophia” Maluski) Touchon nous écrit: "Depuis 2004 j'ai fait trois séjours au Vietnam en tant qu'infirmière humanitaire (Un initiatique et deux missions). Cette démarche etait pour moi naturelle dans la mesure ou j'ai adopté 3 bébés orphelins pendant la guerre du Vietnam. A présent ils sont épanouis ,heureux dans la vie, et m'ont fait le cadeau de 4 magnifiques petits-enfants!! C'etait à mon tour de revenir pour remerçier le Vietnam de m'avoir donné ces merveilleux enfants. La première mission, je me suis occupée du dispensaire d'une Ecole pour les enfants des rues,donné des cours d'anglais, de couture, enquetes sociales. La deuxième mission, c'etait plus "hard" car voulant améliorer la langue si difficile à mettre en pratique, j'ai accepté d'aller vivre dans une Leproserie tenue par les Soeurs de Saint Vincent de Paul Vietnamiennes pour apprendre à soigner les lépreux. Ce fut très dur et n'ai tenue qu'un petit trimestre. Mais l'expérience à été tres positive car j'ai cotoyé des hommes et femmes extraordinaires qui m'ont appris à voir la vie sous un autre angle. Voilà je suis rentrée il y a un an en France. J'habite en Provence au pied de la montagne du Luberon, un lieu magique ou mes enfants et petits enfants aiment à se retrouver ensemble. Nous allons etre tous reunis pour Noel. Je vous souhaite un Merry Christmas et Happy New Year à tous.

A part ce trimestre, j'étais au Lycée Victor Duruy à Paris.
