After graduation from Stuyvesant, I attended Hamilton College, where I majored in English literature and German, graduating in 1961. I worked for the Institute for International Education (IIE) in New York and then for the New York Department of Health, before setting sail for Le Havre, France on October 5th, 1962, never to return to America to live. I entered the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris in 1967 and spent the next thirty years founding a family and advancing into the Directorial and Diplomatic ranks of the organization. I retired in August 2000 and have spent the intervening years traveling and writing. My first novel, “Rage in Paris,” was published by Pushcart Press/W.W. Norton in December 2014, when I was 74 years old. The novel is in the historical fiction and crime genre and, fortunately, has received some good reviews and achieved pretty good sales so far. The novel’s website link is: www.rageinparis.com, for anyone wishing to learn more about the book and what I’ve been up to over the last nearly sixty years. The fact that I managed to take on the task of writing the novel is a tribute to Irving Astrachan, my Creative Writing teacher at Stuyvesant, who was a demanding but inspiring taskmaster! My immediate plans for 2015 are to write a sequel to the novel, which I intend to finish by the end of the year. I wish everyone in the class of 1957 a healthy New Year 2015 and I hope that we can do some catching up at our 60th class reunion in 2017!
