Chère Anne,
Hier soir, pour la première
fois depuis longtemps, j’ai pensé à La Chassotte
et j’ai trouvé ton site sur L’internet. Quel
plaisir !
Je me suis souvent demandée
qu’est devenue l’école depuis ma dernière
visite en 1987.
Cette année l à,
les sœurs ont invité les anciennes à visiter
avant que les FSJ quittent l’école à la fin
de l’année scolaire.
Je me rappelle de voir Adelaide
Waldburg, Desiree Jebsen, et Lydia (et sa sœur Patricia)
Rajaonina. J’étais une pensionnaire à La Chassotte
de 1975-1978.
Quels bons souvenirs ! Malheureusement,
je n’ai pas pu finir mes études à La Chassotte,
car mes parents ont été
oblige de m’envoyer en France pour finir mon Bac. Je me rappelle
de Mlle. Rey et Mlle. Chesne, et de Mlle. Portmann aussi.
Il y a plusieurs années,
j’ai perdu contacte avec Lydia Rajaonina, mais je crois qu’elle
habite toujours Fribourg.
Elle est venue jusqu’au
Texas pour mon mariage il y a 15 ans. Sœur Claire est venue
aussi. En 1994, je suis allée a Bruxelles,
et j’ai pu visiter Sophie
Jannssen (Francois, maintenant). Elle a deux enfants et habite
toujours à Bruxelles.
J’habite toujours à
Houston, et je suis mariée avec deux garçons (Conrad,
11 ans, et Kyle, 7 ans).
J’aimerais tellement
avoir des nouvelles de Nathalie de Teufenstein, Valerie Davaud,
Lidia Calderon, Lydia Rajaonina,
Desiree Jebsen (qui habite
à Hong Kong ?). J’ai de bonnes mémoires de
Sr. Josephine (la cuisinière), qui nous amenait des bonnes
choses à manger au dortoir,
Sr. Dominic (qui était
toujours nerveuse), et Sr. Lorenza (qui nous taquinait toujours).
J
e ma rappelle toujours de
Mlle. Rey qui nous disait que « La culture est comme la
confiture, moins on en a, plus on l’étale. »
Je n’oublierai jamais la « Dodoche » de Mlle.
Portmann.
Je sais que Sr. Claire était
en Belgique en 1994, et elle était malade du cancer.
Je te remercie d’avoir
l’initiative de créer ce site, car je suis sûre
qu’il y a beaucoup « d’Anciennes » qui seront
ravies d’avoir des nouvelles.
Si tu a des nouvelles de
ce qu’est devenue l’école propre (j’assume
qu’ils ont fermé l’école), je te prie
de les mettre sur ton site.
Je serais ravie d’avoir
de nouvelle d’Anciennes qui se rappellent de moi, et aussi
les autre « Anciennes » qui habitent aux Etats-Unis.

Dear Anne
Je viens d'apprendre la creation
de ce site par Rica Charmoz. Fantastique!!!
Quelle bonne idee!!! J'etais la fille terrible dont personne se
souvient, cela doit etre a cause de mes nombreux renvois!!!!
J'etais a La Chassotte dans
les annees 65.
J'aimerais tellement avoir
des nouvelles de Diana de Toth que j'ai revu il y a des annees
en Suisse et de Mary Jo Calderon
avec qui mon mari et moi avons
fait un voyage memorable en Argentine.
Je vis en Bretagne et je m'occupe
depuis toujours de plantes et de jardins, j'ai deux filles (15
et 21 ans) et Tim,
mon mari Anglais restaure
un jardin fabuleux a S. Vincent dans les Caraibes.
A tres bientot,

Anne: my name is Judy Hughes
(now Leech). My sister and I went to La
Chassotte from 1950 to 1952. I was 10, my sister Mary was 12.
We were talking about La Chassotte the other day, trying to remember
how we
got from school to the train station to go home on the week-ends
(our
parents lived in Bern). Today, I think I remembered: by city bus
accompanied by one of the older girls.
Anyway, for fun, not thinking it possible there was anything about
La
Chassotte, but what the heck, try, I found your Webb site. Bravo!
Our stay at LaChassotte was fairly brief, so we don't have the
attachment
that some would who went through school there, but there are many
memories,
and curiosity about those we knew.
Good luck on your reunion.

Dear Anne
I was so happy to discover your sight by accident while researching
to open my own school of Middle Eastern Studies.
I attended La Chassotte between
'79 and 83' while Soeur Claire was in charge.
My years at La Chassotte
were so memorable. I had so much fun there that I forgot to study!
I miss "Le fumoir"
where I use to sneak every day and most of all I miss all the
ski excursions.
I kept in touch with a few of my friends like Martine Banna, Doris
Abbiad, Marie Isabelle D'Autriche (Whom I lost contact with again)
and Elmarie Brown(Oliver),
whom I ran into on 3rd Avenue in New York City( I also lost contact
with her after my move to Florida) .
I also ran into Maria Teresa
de Mata, also in New York City in 1993.
After la chassotte, I moved
to Florida and graduated in marketing and Interior Design.
Then while visiting New York
I met my husband and lived in New York for 9 years and back to
Florida again because I couldn't bare the cold weather!!
I am currently raising my
two little girls, Hannady 6 and Tala 4.
I wonder what became of Mlle Rey, Mlle Chesnes, Soeur Lorenza,
Pere Formet, Mlle Schmidt, Les Spies Sisters, Adelaid, and everybody
else.
Thank you Anne for giving us the opportunity to reunite and hope
to hear from everyone soon.

Bonjour à vous toutes
et bravo à "Anne" qui a eu la merveilleuse idée
de faire ce site.Je m'appelle"Brigitte Rosier"
et j'étais chassottienne
de 1965 à 1968.(dans ces eaux-là...) Ma soeur, Hélène
Rosier, m'y a précédée de deux ou trois ans.
Malheureusement, je n'étais
pas aussi disciplinée qu'elle... J'ai revu régulièrement
plusieurs d'entre vous, Frédérique Charmoz,
Marie-Mathilde Sauthier, Mary-Jo
Calderon, Caroline Berthet (aujourd'hui décédée).
L'idée de se retrouver
toutes serait vraiment géniale et drôle à
la fois... trente ou quarante ans après....
J'aimerais savoir si certaines
d'entre vous auraient des nouvelles de Patricia Brenac, de Jennyfer
Fisher,
de Mary Poltera, de Nora
Ley, de Marie-Hélène Besse, de Catherine Thirouard,
de Zulay Ramirez ?

Anne,
Such a pleasant surprise
to hear from les Anciennes de La Chassotte. I am
Bella Endeshaw, nee Hawariat. I was a boarding from 1965 -1967.
I remember
Frederique Chamoz, and in reading her message, I could just picture
her, her
charm and humour. I also remember Teresa Giovannini, and would
like to get
in touch with her. Also Anne Julienne, nee Lyons, always so helpful,
someone
you can not forget. Anne, you had the look of the sixties, like
Francoise
Hardy. Mary Finnigan now lives in the USA, where I was living
for the past
25 years raising two children. I have contacted Amalia, who remembered
me
in her message. Honey (Panorchand) has sent my picture with her
and Sugar
in her photo album, the picture brought back memories. I also
would like to
get in touch with Dagmar and Christain Diez with whom I spoke
German.
Isabel Darbellay, who was like a sister to me, since I can say,
we had
family connection. Isabel contacte moi stp, je suis Koutchou.
To end I
would like to say that when I lived in Haiti I met Marie Carmel
Saliba and
Marie Carmel Fourcand after 25 years, what a reunion it was. We
had a lot of
catching up to do. For those of you who want to know, I now live
in
Kingston, Jamaica working for an international organization. I
was so
pleased to hear from Sister Cecilia, whom I remember vividly.
Anne great job, love
Bella

Dear Anne,
I attended La Chassotte
from 1971 to 72 and had a
wonderful time. As a diplomatic brat I had spent all
my life in schools with local children who viewed me
as a rather strange specimen who spoke more than one
language. At La Chassotte I found many kids who were
strange specimens like myself and I thrived. It was
intended for me to do the rest of my schooling there,
but my father died in 72 and I had to leave. I have
wonderful memories!
I became a diplomat
in 1982 and served at the Mexican
Embassy in Dakar, Senegal and at the Mexican Consulate
in Philadephia, USA. Now I am an artist living and
working in Philadelphia. I have been married for 18
years but I still go by my maiden name.
I would very much like
to find Denise de la Ossa, from
Panama. She was my best friend and would like to get
back in touch with her.
Whatever happened to
Sister Clair? And Soeur Filomene?
Thank you so much providing
this opportunity.

Chere Anne,
J'ai ete ravie d'apprendre
qu'il y a un site de "La Chassotte" par
mon amie, Panorchand Manprasert (Honey). Je suis egalement une
ancienne du
pensionnat.... J'etais a l'ecole de 1963- 1967 et suis: Truchai
SODSOON
(nee ATTANAN). J'etais dans la meme classe que Daniel King(vit
en Nouvelle
Caledonie), Marina Nogrette (dans le nord-ouest de la France),
Isabelle
Darbellay (toujours dans le Valais), avec qui je correspond encore
regulierement. Lorna Crook m'envoie regulierement ses voeux de
fin d'annee
de Bristol. C'est avec beaucoup d'emotions que j'ai parcouru les
differents
messages des Anciennes!... J'aurais bien aime pouvoir contacter:
Christiane
Diez, Sedef Ilkan, Marine de Freminville. Anyone knows their whereabouts?!
Heureuse que Mere Elizabeth se porte bien; je garde toujours de
bons
souvenirs d'elle et aussi de Sr. Lucia et une autre soeur dont
le nom
m'echappe pour le moment - nous etions dans la meme classe. Je
n'ai pu me
joindre au "Farewelle Party" avant le depart des meres
de La Chassotte;
beaucoup d'entre-nous y etaient, c'etait vraiment dommage!
Bravo pour tout ce grand travail
et merci de tout coeur pour nous
avoir permis de "papoter" quelque peu a travers ce e-mail.
Je suis a la FAO
de Bangkok depuis bientot 25 ans et mon addresse est :

Hello
While surfing on the internet,
I found you site. I was at
La Chassote in the 70's. I did all my classes there.
I remember very well Soeur Claire, Soeur Dolores and the
others. Mlle Rey aussi que de bons souvenirs. Je serrais
intéressée de savoir ce que sont devenues mes camarades
de
classes. It's after all not such a long time!
L'idée de la rencontre est géniale, great idea.
I'm still
living in Switzerland, at the moment not very far from
Fribourg, but I lived almost 10 years in Zurich.
Catherine Germain
at la Chassotte from 1974 to 1981 if I remember correctly.

Hi!
I'm Panorchand Malakul (ne Manprasert) and I spent my days at
La Chassotte in 1963-1967 (yes, so many many years back).
I was so thrilled when my
sister, Pimchand who now lives in the States, told me of your
site and I checked it out right away.
Congratulations on your good
job! I even found out that someone is looking for two sisters
from Thailand.
Can you pass on my e-mail
address to that person so that we can get in touch?
I have no idea who she is
but she must be someone who must have known us back then.
There's one Ann I can think of at this very moment and it's Ann
Lyons, I think that she's British and had long hair.
I recall that she was quite
nice and very helpful to new students.
I looked at your La Chassotte
old picture and could recognise a few faces but not the names!
This is exciting to be able
to trace our old friends, isn't it?
What you're doing with this
web site must be quite fun and rewarding when you get response
from old students.
Pls tell me more about yourself,
your school years and any old names that you can think of.
I'll write back soon again.
Thanks again for the wonderful site.
Keep up the great work! Panorchand

le syndrome de la madeleine de Proust????
