Pension Families
Alumni who stayed with Mme Augsburger—a pension Madame for over 15 years—will be saddened to learn that she passed away in September of 2015 at the age of 83.
As noted on this vintage recruitment poster,
Jean Barton served as NJC’s Canadian Representative. With her slide projector and passion for the NJC experience, she travelled across Canada to promote Neuchâtel Junior College throughout the 1980s. Many alumni were inspired by her to step outside of their comfort zones, including her own children, Doug ‘91 and Alice ‘93. NJC is grateful to the late Jean Barton for her service to the school.
Astrid Henninger ‘02 and Adrian Lightstone ‘02 recently welcomed beautiful baby Adeline into the world on December 22, 2015. Congratulations!
