In June 2002, Mike, MS '72, and Barbara Fuchs Turell '69 enjoyed a visit to Ithaca for both Cornell and Alpha Phi Delta reunions. Even though APD went "off the Hill" in 1968, the reunion attendees numbered 200 brothers and spouses. It was a truly remarkable experience. In February 2003,Mike and Barbara went to Hawaii, where Mike spoke at a conference on West Nile virus. They had a great time spending several days with Calvin Wong,MD '74, and his family. In June 2003,Mike spent a week hiking the Appalachian Trail with their children David '94 and Suzanne, who are "thru-hikers" hoping to complete the entire trail during the summer of 2003. After Mike carried a 40-pound-plus pack up and down mountains in Virginia, he realized he had many muscles that he had not used in years.Mike and Barbara live in Frederick, MD, and his e-mail is mturell@erols.com.

71 | Warning. This column is different. The names are different. Most, if not all, have never appeared in the Class of '71 Notes before. You see, it started on a wintry Saturday afternoon. You know the kind of day . . . nothing moving outside except the wind-blown snow, sleet, and freezing rain.What else could a class correspondent do but build a warm crackling fire--in the fireplace--then hunker down and spend some quality time on the Internet searching for "lost" classmates to write about. Of course the people I refer to are not really lost. Certainly someone knows their whereabouts. It's just that Class of '71 alumni records don't. So I set out to see what I could find with my laptop, a broadband connection, and a search engine.What fun when more than 20 "missing" classmates turned up. The data was mostly professional, but some personal stuff did appear. I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I did finding them.

If you have eaten at a diner restaurant lately, it is quite possible that you owe at least a small thanks to classmate Richard Gutman, known in the industry as "Dinerman." Richard lives in the Boston area. He received his BArch from Cornell in '72, then went on to write two definitive works on the history and design of diners. His books have inspired people to buy, restore, and reopen diners across the country. The Wall Street Journal said,"More than any other individual, Richard Gutman has stimulated the revival of the quintessential eating establishment."

Several '71 classmates can be found among the many contributors to the advancement of computer science. Scientific computer users likely have benefited from classmate Prof. Cherri Pancake's work in identifying how the needs of scientists and engineers differ in the computer science and business communities. I found her at Oregon State U. According to her website bio, Cherri's route to a PhD in computer engineering took an unusual route. She investigated social change through ethnographic field studies of Guatemalan Indians. Cherri's training led to research into how software tools might support users' conceptual models and computing strategies.

In a similar field, Mark Ardis teaches software engineering at Rose-Hulman Inst. of Technology in Terre Haute, IN. His research interest is teaching methods for software engineering and technology transfer.Mark's faculty website offered some real nuggets of personal information. Paul and wife Cheryl live in Terre Haute. He has two boys and loves skiing and soccer.He admits to the irrational act of wearing a pumpkin costume to mid-term exams and says, "If I could do it over, I'd make all the same mistakes, but in different situations." Mark formerly taught at Wang Inst., as did database architect and Microsoft researcher Phil Bernstein. Phil studies the management of metadata, which is data about data, and has authored numerous articles and books on the theory and implementation of database systems. Phil is located in Redmond,WA.

Here is a brief summary of the other classmates I found that you may know. Professor Izumi Shimada began his study of Andean civilizations at Cornell under Prof. John V.Murra. Izumi joined the faculty at Southern Illinois U., Carbondale, IL, in 1994. His research in Peru is the longest continuous archaeological project in South America. Howard Califano lives in Singapore, where he is CEO of Johns Hopkins Singapore. Arthur Levin can be found in Geneva, Switzerland, where he is the senior legal and policy officer with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Also outside the US, John Hockenhull teaches at the The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural U. (KVL) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Many companies and celebrities who get into a crisis call on Allan Mayer of Sitrick & Co. to help manage the public relations fallout. A journalist, author, and magazine publisher, Allan lives in Los Angeles. William Dale practices law in Maryland. He lives with wife Jody, has four children, and volunteers his time for numerous charitable groups. Another Marylander, Jeffrey Lubbers teaches at Washington College of Law of American U. Bonnie Dushin is a high school guidance counselor and lives in Augusta, ME. Fred Evers is a professor of sociology at the U. of Guelph, Ontario. Regina Hilbert heads the Suffolk County (NY) Public Employees retirement plan.

Near Regina in Stony Brook, NY, linguist Robert Hoberman teaches at Stony Brook U. His fields of specialization are the morphologies and phonologies of Semitic languages. Susan Johnson '72, BS Ag '71, works in the field of geriatric nursing at the La Jolla, CA, Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Lee Kilmer teaches animal science at Iowa State U. in Ames, IA. Commercial developers in the tri-state area around NYC may encounter Wayne Lemmon, BArch '72, director of market research for Pleasantville, NY-based Baker Companies. Dr. Harvey Levy holds dual appointments at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

And to all Cornell '71ers lost or not, here's hoping things are well with you and your families.

72 | As I'm writing this column, it was announced that the Evil Empire (aka "The New York Yankees") traded for League MVP Alex Rodriquez. By the time you read this column, the Yankees may already be printing World Series tickets. Just shows what you can do if your payroll is equivalent to the Gross National Product of many Third World nations.

Legacies at Cornell are common in our class. Henry "Bud" Nestler writes that son Tim '03 graduated from Arts and Sciences, where he majored in History and Government. Tim graduated with distinction in all subjects and is now attending Cornell Law School. Bud and wife Emily continue their trips to "sunny" Ithaca to see their son as he progresses through his law school education. Dr. Eric Norman reports that son Michael '03 graduated from Arts and Sciences in December 2002. The whole family spent two very enjoyable days in Ithaca celebrating and reminiscing. Eric visited Geneva, Switzerland, where he reconnected with his freshman roommate, Dr. Tahir Ali, who is working for the UN High Commission on Refugees.

Karen Brandhorst relocated to Southern California five years ago and is enjoying life at the beach. In 2002, she became president of New Century Education Corp., an educational software company that provides LAN-based curriculum programs to school districts nationally. Joel Friedman and wife Vivian celebrated their 16th anniversary in 2003. Their children, ages 6, 4, and 4, are thriving. Joel was named the Jack M. Gordon Professor of Procedural Law & Jurisdiction at Tulane Law School. He published a new law casebook, The Law of Civil Procedure (Friedman and Collins), and a new edition of his other casebook, The Law of Employment Discrimination (Friedman and Strickler). Joel is working on an authorized biography of the late US Circuit Judge John Miner Wisdom.He also continues to lecture at law schools across the country on the integration of new technologies into law school teaching, and to provide continuing education seminars for all Federal judges under the auspices of the Federal Judicial Center.

Bob Shaw is living the good life on Monterey Bay in California. He is coaching lacrosse at Santa Cruz High School. Both sons (Jake, 18, and Luke, 17) are lax players. Luke wants to go to Cornell to play lacrosse and bring back an NCAA Championship. I saw Bob at the Cornell Football Assn.meeting in San Francisco in May 2003. Among the former Big Red athletes also attending this function were Tom McLeod '70, ME '71, Brick McIntosh '71, and Ed Marinaro. Steve Alms is another Big Red lacrosse player who moved to Northern California. Steve lives in Burlingame and started a youth lacrosse team a few years ago. Daniel Fischel is dean of the U. of Chicago Law School and author of Payback: The Conspiracy to Destroy Michael Milken and His Financial Revolution. David Hall '71 reports from Colorado that daughter Jennifer graduated from U. of Missouri and is now producing the morning news on weekends for the CBS affiliate in Denver. Dave's younger daughter Melissa attends Jacksonville U.

William "Wes" Schulz, ME '73, reports from Houston, TX, that daughter Amy is a theater arts major at Texas State U. in San Marcos. She loves acting and play-writing and was in several productions. Amy's college mentor, Larry Hovis, recently passed away from cancer. You might remember him from the "Hogan's Heroes" and "Laugh In" TV shows.Wes's son Douglas passed the exam and is now a certified paramedic. He works for an ambulance service in the Clear Lake/League City area south of Houston.Wes's wife Diane continues her glassbeadmaking and has a studio under construction as part of a group of artists in the Houston Art Center. Wes goes on to report that his karaoke rendition of "Wooly Bully" at a party earned the coveted "Sounds Most Like a Wounded Buffalo" award.Wes also expressed bitter disappointment that he was not invited to Snoop Dog's party when the Super Bowl was in Houston in February.

The Tampa Bay Tribune featured a story about Barbara "Ann" Fearney Paul and husband Rich as longtime guardians of Tampa Bay's nesting- bird colonies. For them, it's a way of life. The winged things they protect will never know how many poisonous snakes and venom-tongued picnickers the Pauls have shooed from coastal islands where rare species flirt with extinction each spring. During mating season they patrol Tampa Bay to post warning signs and shoo boaters away from sensitive areas. Boaters often don't realize that their presence alone is enough to drive adult birds away from nests long enough to expose the eggs to destructive sun or predators. Bird-watching was an acquired taste for Ann, who grew up in Gainesville, FL. After majoring in biology at Cornell, she earned a master's degree from Trinity U. in San Antonio, TX. There, she was an assistant land steward for The Nature Conservancy and stumbled upon her avian affinity through volunteer work with the local Audubon Society chapter."Mammals run around at night," Ann says, "but birds are behaving when we're up."

After moving to Tampa in 1990, Ann joined the Tampa Audubon Society and later served three years as president. Among her proudest achievements is securing funding for restoration of about 500 acres on Tampa Bay near Gibsonton. Ann became an assistant to Rich Paul in the early 1990s. In January 2000, they conceded they were birds of a feather--they got married. Longtime acquaintances say Ann and Rich live for the birds, and that has meant a boon for environmental causes. "They are a dynamic duo," says Hillsborough County Commissioner Jan Platt, who has served on numerous boards with the Pauls. "They have a true love of the environment. They have dedicated their lives to it." In 1996 Ann received the Outstanding Individual of the Year award from the Environmental Excellence Foundation. She has two sons, Sam and Ben Schnapf, both of Tampa, FL.

Steve Kane, MBA '73, joined the San Francisco office of Boyden Global Executive Search as managing director of the firm's new Life Sciences search practice. Boyden has more than 300 consultants in 64 offices in 41 countries. Steve has 25 years of experience holding senior positions in health care and life sciences. For 15 years he served as VP of human resources and then corporate affairs at Baxter International. Prior to that, he directed employee relations at American Hospital Supply Corp.Most recently he was a corporate officer at Neoforma Inc., an e-commerce healthcare supply chain firm in San Jose, CA. In addition to his bachelor's degree and MBA from Cornell, Steve has a JD from U. of Akron.He is active in alumni activities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Ken Light, MD '76, was inducted into the Cornell Sports Hall of Fame in October 2003. An outstanding diver for the men's swimming team, Ken was a two-time All-American and a three-time Eastern finalist on both the high and low boards. At the Eastern championship in 1972, he was 12th on the 1-meter board and seventh at 3 meters. At the NCAA championships, Ken placed 10th on the 1-meter board to earn All-America honors. In 1971, he was sixth at the Easterns on the 1-meter and fifth on the 3-meter event. He placed 11th in the finals of the 1-meter board competition at the NCAA championships to earn All-America honors. As a sophomore, Ken was fourth in the 1-meter and fifth in the 3-meters at the Easterns and was named to the All-Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving League team. Ken makes his home in Tiburon, CA. Send news to -- Alex Barna, alexander.barna-1@nasa.gov; or Gary Rubin, glrubin@aol.com.

73 | It's ten below here in Michigan in the middle of February. Thankfully, by the time you read this column the Arctic blast will be but a winter memory. For now, let's hear from Rich Isaacman, who enjoyed the riches of travel when he and his wife found themselves, at long last, as empty nesters. They travel extensively both for business and pleasure. Trips last year included Belize for scuba diving, a conference in Hawaii, and a driving tour of Switzerland, northern Italy, and southern France. Their sons are in college, Sibren, due to graduate from Arts and Sciences in '05, and Gabriel, "flourishing as a freshman at Wesleyan U."

A bit further away from "liberation" but nevertheless an important step, we have news of the bar mitzvahs of two classmates' sons. Alan Rosenthal writes that son Benjamin was to have his bar mitzvah in December 2003. Alan hoped to see classmates Kevin Kramer and Fred Andrew Levine there. Patrick Knapp of Clinton, NY, helped celebrate Saul Garlick's son's bar mitzvah, along with classmates Sam Baum, DVM '76, and Mark Granick in Boston. Saul's daughter Keren '99 has scheduled a June 2004 wedding and Mark's youngest daughter, Jackie, will be going to Harvard.

Carl Ferrentino, ME '74, updates us from Delmar, NY, and sang the praises of reunion as a place to gain perspective and to get together afterwards with other alums. Carl and wife Jeanne joined Jack Lawler, ME '74, and wife Lucy, along with Norm Marcus and wife Roberta, at the Cornell Club-New York during the Labor Day weekend. The City and club were terrific venues for their trip. Carl attended the graduation of his son Joshua '03 in May and visited his son Justin, currently in the Ag college, who stayed in Ithaca last summer for a job. Their daughter Cara attended the three-week Summer College program course taught by Prof. Nick Salvatore. Carl's reunion visit reactivated a lot of memories, although he felt like he was in a time warp seeing all those young people of his children's generation running about campus while simultaneously reliving all those events with reunion goers from '73.

Ann Prezyna married Gordon Lewis on Jan. 4, '03. It was a first marriage for both of them. They purchased a second home in Palomina, AZ, a 1940s adobe on five acres. They hope to buy the adjoining 103 acres with the Nature Conservancy to restore it to native grassland. Ann and Gordon live in Seattle where Ann remains the Deputy Regional Counsel for the US Environmental Protection Agency. Ann also let us know that Meg Silver is also an attorney with the EPA and recently had a three-month stay in NYC. Arizona seems to have an allure for Cornellians (did your sister send you pictures of 60-foot snow banks in Fulton, NY, too?). Charles Amerise recently moved to Oro Valley, AZ, where he was promoted to the manager of commercial sales for Sigler & Reeves Inc., a Carrier Company air conditioning distributor.

Some of us have stayed in the frigid Midwest, as Robert Joehl wrote to us from Carmel, IN. Robert's daughter Jaimie graduated from Notre Dame in 2003 and was accepted at the U. of Indiana medical school. Jaimie's sister Erin entered the U. of Kentucky this fall as a freshman. Glenn Cantor recently left Michigan for Princeton, NJ, which he loves (what, Princeton over Kalamazoo?!). In any case, Glenn worked for Pharmacia in Michigan and moved to New Jersey to do research at Bristol-Myers Squibb. His daughter Alida is at Simon's Rock College in Great Barrington, MA, although she spent the fall doing an internship at Spannocchia, a farm in Tuscany, Italy.

Back in NY, Christopher Huyck lives in Saratoga Springs, NY, with wife Jane, where they recently moved to a new house. Christopher's medical practice is busy in Troy, and he hopes to expand to Saratoga Springs soon. Christopher and Jane appeared in the "Nutcracker" at the Egg in Albany. Their son Justin '01 is completing a master's in theology at the Chicago Theological U. and is looking at PhD programs. Christopher's daughter Jackie is headed toward nursing school. Lastly, Christopher and Jane miss Linda Krause very much.

Thanks for all the news.We can always use more, so please forward it to -- Phyllis Haight Grummon, 1531 Woodside Dr., E. Lansing,MI, 48823; e-mail, Phyllis.Grummon@scup.org.

Renee Alexander, William Walker, and Linda Berk, MPS '76, have been working hard to galvanize minority turnout for Reunion Weekend. The response has been so positive that minority class members from the early to mid- '70s plan to join the festivities. Contact Renee at rta3@cornell.edu for additional information. The Cornell website continues to improve and help classmates share thoughts and stories. Doug Glenn responded to the "favorite teacher" link that he took Astronomy 201 as an elective. Doug just finished recomposing two of the chapters from Dr. Sagan's book The Cosmic Connection (see www.season4design.com/Star folk/). Gilbert Rosenthal, BArch '75, dropped a note to say that his eldest daughter is at Wellesley and his youngest is advancing through a Quaker high school, while his wife is completing a divinity degree for ordination as an Episcopal priest. Gil says he continues to travel about the country using our tax dollars to transform the worst public housing into newly revitalized mixed-income communities.

More than 30 classmates, along with spouses and friends, enjoyed hot hors d'oeuvres and cold drinks in January at the annual Class of 1974 Mid-Winter Meeting reception in New York City. This year's dinner party was at Tabla, and in addition to many class officers, attendees included Ethel Ziselman from Philadelphia (now the parent of a Cornell freshman), Sandra Smith, Marcia Wade, a physician, with her husband David Officer, MBA '74, JD '75, Doug Glenn, Eric Haas, a New York lawyer, and Jeff Lang, who runs a medical practice in New Jersey. Also seen at the bar were Kathi Platis Grace, BArch '75, who earlier in the afternoon had given interested Cornellians an architectural history tour of Grand Central Station, freelance media maven Randee Mia Berman, Carol Friedman, Doug Johnstone, and Linda Stillman, who works at the UN. Other classmates included Jessica Bram, Alice Brown, Renee Alexander, Eunice Jackson, Jeff Boak, and Marleen Pasch.

From Bala Cynwyd, PA, Ann Buckler Addis wrote to say she is continuing a private practice in speech-language pathology in Narberth, PA, and also teaches part-time in communications sciences at Temple U. She notes that husband Reid is working as a CAD specialist at the Granary Assoc. in Philadelphia. Zack Mosner noted that daughter Leah is in Spain for the final semester of her junior year at UC Berkeley, and Carrie is a freshman at BU. Samantha is a freshman in high school, and Mallory is scheduled for a bat mitzvah soon after reunion. Zack has been elected VP of the States Assn. of Bankruptcy Attorneys while winning their first "Spirit" award. He also just won a key case before the Third Circuit on a test tax program worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the states, and just celebrated his ten-year anniversary with the Attorney General's office for the State of Washington.

My grade school in Valley Stream, NY, had a 50th anniversary celebration, which offered the opportunity for an impromptu reunion with Karen Farber Freedman and Jayne Spivack Barruch. The three of us went through elementary school, high school, and college together. And judging by the comments of our grade school peers, none of us looked a day over 39. Karen and David '73 live in New City, NY, where David has run a small animal vet practice for the past 20 years and Karen manages the office and books. Karen comments that with two in college and a wedding on the way, retirement is not in the cards. Oldest daughter Emily graduated from Ithaca College in 2001 and is now finishing her master's in speech pathology. Amanda is following mom's footsteps in Hum Ec in the class of '05.

It may be spring when you read this, but we're still in the depths of winter as I write. I had planned a visit with John Ramsay on a visit to DC, but a major snowstorm (defined as 2-plus inches) down there interfered. Given the fact that JR was born and raised in Canada, one can only assume he's been fully assimilated. Florence Higgins, DVM '81, is continuing veterinary relief work in the Rochester area. She attended the NYS Veterinary Conference last fall in Saratoga. Son Gregory Lebens-Higgins, 13, made both all-county and area all-state orchestra for excellence in the viola. Younger brother Zach triumphed at his grade school's Math Olympiads. Kathleen Denis is the Associate VP of Technology Transfer at Rockefeller U., commuting to Manhattan from home in Bryn Mawr, PA. Husband Albert Rohr is an allergist at Bryn Mawr Hospital. Their son Mike is in tenth grade and daughter Anna is in seventh, and all are planning to be at reunion.

Scarsdale resident Eric Roth and wife Laurie (Michael) '75 proudly advised us that daughter Ariel was accepted at Cornell, joining her brother Jason '05. Ariel's cousin Sarah Koenig, daughter of Scott '73 and Robin Michael Koenig '75 will be there as well. Eric had a reunion dinner with apartment-mates and fellow TEP brothers Michael Gould, Perry Gould, Mitchell Pollack, and Jamie Burr, MBA '75. The distilled version of the evening was that they are all remarkably well preserved--if you don't count presence of hair (on the head).Visiting campus was evidently a shock for Jerry Neuwirth's high school senior daughter Esther--too big and too cold--and she opted for the heat and humidity of Emory in Atlanta. Kristen York Gerling was elected national leader for the 300,000-strong Presbyterian Women organization.

Dana Beyer dropped a note to say she's been getting comfortable in her new skin, reconnecting with family and friends and raising her sons in a slightly different family environment. She's becoming more active downtown at the Human Rights Campaign, as well as with school and group outreach educational events. Son David is at Carleton College and other son Yoni is on the hockey team at Chevy Chase High School. Stephen Duch, MBA '75, recently started a new job as a financial manager for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. Milton Lorig ran the Boston and NYC marathons. He saw classmate Jeff Diamond while in New York, and visited in San Francisco with Bonni Shulman Dutcher.

Amy Jacoby Budish and husband Armond were chosen to be included in a book about 40 of Cleveland's happily married couples. Son Ryan is at Swarthmore.He was a semifinalist for a Rhodes scholarship and has been accepted at NYU law school. Irene OvittWerner, one of my wife Sue St. Clair Raye's roommates, wrote in with a very brief update on the last 30 years. She married Fred '72,ME '75, stayed in the Syracuse area after med school, and has been an ER doctor at Community-General Hospital for 22 years. She has two sons in college, one scheduled to graduate from RPI this year. Please send in your news to -- Steve Raye, spr23@cornell.edu; Linda Meyers Geyer, lgdesigns@cox.net; or Betsy Beach, eab52@cornell.edu.

75 | While we've been away from the Hill for more than a quarter of a century, it still amazes me when I hear of classmates "retiring" from their chosen professions. In June 2000 Betsy Grover retired from her job as VP of Human Resources at Veritas Software, and is now enjoying time with her children Alison, 16, and Andrew, 14, in Palo Alto, CA. Betsy's involved in a lot of volunteer work with her children's schools, as well as shuttling back and forth to their activities. She also had an opportunity to vacation in Europe, bicycling through Normandy with her son. She'll be heading back East with her daughter, who will graduate from high school in 2005. She's looking to Cornell for higher education.

Around the Capital Beltway from me, Steven Senz, ME '76, is CEO of System 1 Inc., specializing in providing information assurance practices to the government. He's also been actively involved in local government, serving as a director on the Loudoun County Board of Education, and putting his kids through college! Also in the DC area, Ruth Zafren Ruskin lives in Falls Church and continues to see clients in her private psychotherapy and medical hypnosis practice in Alexandria,VA. Ruth recently joined the Cornell Alumni Club ofWashington in their tour of impressionist paintings at the Corcoran Art Gallery. She and her daughter share a love of art and spent a wonderful two weeks at the Chautauqua Inst. in upstate New York, where they sang in the Mozart choir, painted, attended lectures, and enjoyed opera and other musical performances together. Ruth's son attends Bucknell and is a member of the wrestling and rugby teams. Wendy Sneff has returned stateside to live in Alexandria after four years overseas--two in Mexico and two in the Caribbean. She is still with the State Dept., working for the US Mission to the Organization of American States (OAS). Wendy's daughter Caitlin is 12 and participates in a bilingual Spanish-English program in Washington, DC.

Landscape design is the chosen profession of David Wright and Tom Fisher. David is practicing in New Jersey, where he is also president of the Newton Lion's Club. He returns to campus once a year, usually for a Cornell vs. Union hockey game, and writes that it is still hard to get hockey tickets! Tom lives in St. Paul and is dean of the college of architecture and landscape architecture at the U. of Minnesota. He writes that he is surviving the teen years with two daughters, Ann, 17, and Ellen, 13, and that he's been active with Habitat for Humanity with his older daughter. Tom also enjoyed the opportunity to see and sing with the Cornell Glee Club during their Midwest winter tour.

Two of our classmates are with IBM. Norman Cohen lives in Suffern, NY, and has been a research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center since 1987. His ties to Cornell are still strong, with daughter Ilana now in her second year at Cornell, and his involvement in interviewing applicants for the Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN). A financial planning manager at IBM, Sandra Belsky Auerbach says that she runs into another Cornell alum at the corporation every year. Sandra has been married for 28 years to Richard and they live in Somers, NY, with daughter Alissa, a high school junior. Son Jonathan is a Class of '05 bioengineering major at Cornell, a sports columnist with the Cornell Daily Sun, and a clarinetist with the Big Red Marching Band. Sandra's brother Jeff Belsky '77 also has a son, Jason, who was accepted to Cornell's Class of 2008. Congratulations to yet another Cornell family!

Tom Goettel writes from Amherst, MA, where he is regional chief, Office of Refuge Law Enforcement for the US Fish & Wildlife Service.

Please don't be shy about sharing your news with your classmates--and pay your class dues! -- Joan Pease, japease1032@aol.com; Mitch Frank, mjfgator@aol.com; Deb Gellman, dsgell man@hotmail.com; and Karen DeMarco Boroff, boroffka@shu.edu.

76 | I can't believe that in this year when so many of us turn 50 I've heard relatively little news from you. What? No embarrassing surprise parties? No "amusing" gifts? No wild swings into all-new wardrobes or sporty cars? Please send your updates for this historic year. However, to the few noble classmates who have so graciously sent news, I return a correspondent's grateful thanks.

Thanks, for example, to Lowell and Susan Pancost McAdam for sending news from Mendham, NJ. Lowell continues as COO at Verizon Wireless. Their son Ryan is at RIT in Rochester, NY, and daughter Jennifer is in high school. Susan is active in volunteer work. From Burr Ridge, IL, Zed and Cheryl Parks Francis write, "We are pleased to report that our son Zed will be attending Cornell in the fall. A continuation of a good relationship for our family and another great reason to get to Ithaca." I can count on old friends for a word or two. It's good to hear a bit of news from Bill Thom, who lives in Waldwick, NJ. He is with Jet Aviation Inc. He and Annette have children Eric, 10, and Nick, 3. Bill Owens is in the classics department at Ohio U. He kindly responded to my plea for news last year, and I am late in passing on his greetings to all.My old housemate Ellen Cord Dember and husband Andrew celebrated their son Sam's bar mitzvah in December. Sadly, I missed out, but I know that Karen Polivy, Karen Krinsky Sussman, and Larry Epstein were all there.

Part of the great southern migration, Brian Boland writes that he has been in Charlotte, NC, since June 2002, having taken a job with Wachovia.He writes, "I visit NYC and the Jersey Shore regularly, where I keep a residence. Still single! Making new and good friends in Charlotte and keeping those in New York and New Jersey. Joined the Cornell Alumni Assn. in Charlotte." Kari Weil and spouse Michael Roth are in Berkeley, CA, where Kari divides her teaching time between the California College of Arts and Crafts and the comparative literature department at UC Berkeley. "I would love to hear from anybody I knew at Cornell," Kari writes. Her email address is kweil@ccac-art.edu. Gregg Swanzey writes, "Our daughter Alyssa is graduating from Interlochen Arts Academy this year with Emily in high school back here in southeastern Massachusetts.My wife Emma teaches science at Friends Academy in Dartmouth, MA, and I direct the Schooner Ernestina Commission that uses an historic schooner to connect communities and explore coastal New England waters." Check out this fascinating ship at www.ernestina.org.

For our part, Bill Hanavan and I have bought our empty-nest house, aka "The Spider Hole," on a lake not far from our old house (new address below). Bill will have a great spot to take out the little wooden boats he likes to build--so far, a sea kayak, a Cajun flat-bottomed canoe, and an Annapolis wherry that's in the works. Our daughter Louise graduated from Western Washington U. in March with a Spanish major and minors in theater and international studies. She has been studying Chinese and hopes to teach English in China next year. Younger daughter Emily will be off to Oberlin College in the fall.

Times are hard when I'm forced to pad the column with our own news. Please don't force us to sink so low again; send us your 50th-birthday report or other update! -- Pat Relf Hanavan, 15585 Locke Lane, Richland, MI 49083; email, relf@tds.net; Lisa Diamant, 31 Ingleside Rd., Lexington, MA 02420; e-mail, ljdia mant@aol.com; and Karen Krinsky Sussman, 5 Juniper Dr., Great Neck, NY 11021; e-mail, Krinsk54@aol.com.

77 | Being relatively new at this job, I am tremendously impressed with the diversity of the activities and accomplishments that members our class are pursuing and have achieved.When one talks to alumni from our sister institutions (which shall not be named so as not to impugn Yale, Penn, etc.), it seems to me that our Cornell class has a greater diversity.

Maxine Borsuk Siegel is a senior sensory project leader for Consumer Reports magazine. Her husband Joel is still working for Hewlett- Packard, and eldest son Matthew is a junior at Harvard. Her youngest son, Jonathan, will be entering Harvard in the fall.Maxine also reports that she is now the committee chair for her local Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN) Committee. She highly recommends that more alumni get involved meeting prospective Cornellians. It is rewarding, it helps one keep in touch with what's going on in local high schools, and it spreads the gospel of the wonders of the Cornell experience. After five years in Denver, Richard Meisenzahl and his wife JoAnne have decided to move back to their hometown, Honeoye Falls, NY. Richard is remodeling his family's farmhouse and looks forward to the change of seasons that he missed in Denver (the choice being winter or July). He also reports visiting Lance Greenberg '76, ME '79, over Labor Day and is looking forward to visiting Ithaca and Cornell.

Sarah Henderson McClure and husband Charles "Chip" '75 still live in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Chip is CEO of Federal Mogul. Sarah reports that after years of working outside the home, she gave that up several years ago. She has two teenagers who swim competitively and have other activities, so she stays busy coordinating them. She is also on several boards, including the board of the Cranbrook Schools. Her son C.G. will be attending the Cornell Engineering college next year. Congratulations on this accomplishment. Susan Lewis Solomont is a senior advisor at the Philanthropic Initiative in Boston, working to help corporations and foundations implement strategic giving programs. She is also involved in numerous civic activities and currently chairs the board of the New England Aquarium, an outstanding place to visit. She encourages all Cornellians to take advantage of the wonderful aquarium and other beauties of Boston. Susan is married to Alan and they have daughters Becca, 17, and Stephanie, 12.

Frederick, BA '76, MS '77, and Marlene Weiss Barken '78 live in Ithaca. Son Jeff, second of their four kids, was just accepted into the Cornell Class of '08 in Arts and Sciences. Stephen Yale-Loehr, JD '81, is another Ithacan. He recently co-authored a report about immigration changes after September 11, which received a lot of press. He also testified twice before Congress this fall on immigration issues and continues to teach immigration law at Cornell Law School. Clearly, Steve is playing a major role in the evolution of this important issue. Patty Lopez has landed the most wonderful job she has had in 20 years. She is nursing supervisor in the Clinical Triage-Customer Care Center of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. This involves telephone triage with the support of computer-accessed guidelines and assures safety and proper disposition of patient problems, health crises, and questions after hours. She works three evenings a week, travels in between, and says this is a beautiful life. Congratulations on the accomplishment.

Annie Wong and Calvin Cheng '74, MBA '76, are delighted to report that their daughter Alison will be a Cornell freshman in the Fine Arts program starting in fall '04. I think we are beginning to see a strong trend here of Class of '77 parents sending their children to Cornell. Seth Berman, ME '78, recently completed his second master's in engineering, this time at MIT. He notes that it has been a long time since he earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Cornell. "I didn't think that I'd ever use the word ‘fantastic' about studying, but now I can. This time around it was fantastic."

Cynthia Leder reports that her son David Leder Glekel celebrated his bar mitzvah on Dec. 6, '03 at Central Synagogue in Manhattan. They continued the celebration that evening, snow storm and all! Elaine Rosen Weitzman is currently the executive director of the Frisch School in New Jersey, after spending the first 19 years of her professional life in nonprofit health care. Frisch is a private Jewish high school and she has been there for five years. Many graduates of Frisch attend Cornell, and I'm sure that Elaine is doing her best to spread the gospel of the benefits of a Cornell education. She notes also that she is married with two sons, and lives in New Rochelle, NY, near some of her Cornell classmates.

Margaret Brown Meldrim and husband Bruce purchased a 120-acre farm in October 2002 in Palermo, NY. She has a small fold of Scottish Highland cows and will be using them for beef and to reclaim pasturelands, which have been taken over by scrub. She became interested in Highland cows after a trip to Scotland last year to visit her husband's ancestral home in Old Meldrum, Scotland. She now is on her second career since leaving Cornell--as a registered nurse in the recovery room of Upstate Hospital in Syracuse. Since buying the farm, she has registered to restore the 1840s poultry barn and made it a horse barn and has also done lots of remodeling on the farmhouse--again, a tremendously exciting achievement.

Lewis Ward reports that he won second place in the Abstract Carving Division of the 2002 International Woodcarvers Congress held at the Putnam Museum in Davenport, IA. The maple burl "bowl" was carved with a power carver, hand scraped and sanded, and finished with 12 coats of linseed oil. Lewis has photographs, and I encourage him to put them on the Class of '77 website once it is up and running. Congratulations on this tremendous achievement. About a year ago I had the opportunity to visit the Putnam Museum in Davenport. It is truly an amazing place. Daniel Schaul reports that he is the proud father of an amazingly cute and precious boy named Gabriel, born May 29, '03 at, of all places, Cornell New York Hospital. Congratulations to Dan and his family.

Ian Friedland notes that after eight years of spending summers glued to the Weather Channel watching hurricane warnings and wondering if his house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina survived yet another close call, the house was sold and the proceeds used for a more "ridiculous pursuit"--reconstructing his home in Arlington, VA. He has become a general contractor, managing a slew of trade folk as he upgraded electrical systems, landscaping, and drainage, replaced windows, and had a sunroom built. The worst is yet to come, as there were plans for a new kitchen, and a reconfigured dining room. Selling the North Carolina house also freed Ian and his family to travel more and visit friends and families over the three-day weekends they take twice a month. Ian is trying to figure out ways of not having to work for the remaining four days of the week. Ian, if you manage to do this, please share this secret with the rest of us.

I would like to report that my daughter Miriam ("Mimi") had her bat mitzvah on Feb. 14, '04. She so thoroughly enjoyed the process that she is planning to become a regular Torah reader at our synagogue. The reception was held in the planetarium at the Franklin Inst. in Philadelphia. It was truly an enjoyable event. Thanks to all of you who sent in information about yourselves. I encourage anyone to do this either by e-mail or snail mail.We look forward to your comments. Again, the diversity of interest and accomplishments of our class is truly amazing. Till next time, I wish the best to all of you.Have a great spring and summer. -- Howie Eisen, eisenh@tuhs.temple.edu; Lorrie Panzer Rudin, rudin@erols.com (home) or lorrie_b_rudin@fanniemae.com.

78 | To start things off, we received news forms from a few classmates with only the bare bones of their lives. With luck, they will write back and flesh out those details! Mary Zitwer (msgzmm@aol.com) and her husband Gerry Millman live in Manhattan and have one child. David Brown (dbrown@guidancemortgage.com) lives in Boston. Stephen Sullivan (saintsully@ cox.net) is married with five children and lives in Chandler, AZ. Joseph Vickroy is married with two children and lives in Salt Lake City, UT. Gregg Dietrich (gregg470@aol.com) and his wife live in Manhattan and have one child. Jill Sandler (jill51056@aol.com) and her husband and three children live in San Francisco.

Paul Brenner, MBA '79, is living in the Ithaca area, but commuting to Syracuse, NY, and working as executive director of development for Syracuse U.'s School of Information Studies. Part of his job is raising money for the renovated new home of the school. The Brenners and their two children enjoy cross-country skiing out of their back door or driving to Greek Peak (approximately 20 minutes away) for downhill. In the warmer weather they enjoy "freestyle frisbee," which includes doing trick throws and catches as part of a routine performed to music. Debra Slotnick Miron (dsmi ron@aol.com) says she and husband Michael '77 are happily residing in Greenwich, CT, where they are raising their daughters Jessica and Alyssa. Debra directed US marketing efforts for two home furnishings companies, but put her career on hold to relocate from Princeton, NJ, to San Francisco, and then to Greenwich. They enjoy visiting family in Switzerland and California, and Debra keeps busy with everything from jogging and tennis, to skiing and photography.

Sarah Thole Fischell, ME '79 (estee@comcast.net), who lives in Fair Haven, NJ, said she is having fun working for a start-up company after leaving AT&T. Laurie Kraiman Steinberg (elle belle8589@aol.com), living in Lafayette Hill, PA, expresses thoughts that many of us are feeling as our children enter the college years. She notes, "I wish I were still in college because I wouldn't have to worry about how I was going to finance my oldest son's college education, when one year's expenses will equal almost ten times the cost of my entire college education." Suzanne Bishop Romain (sbromain@aol.com) writes from Sudbury, MA, that she has been seeing Barbara George Lewis on a regular basis--they freeze together at cross-country skiing races. Barb's son, the skier, is a senior at rival Concord- Carlisle High School, says Suzanne, and Barb's younger son is a freshman fencer.

Angela DeSilva DeRosa (zamad@houston.rr.com) and her family rang in the New Year in the Caribbean on the SS Norwegian Sea, celebrating her mother's 70th birthday with her sister Donna DeSilva '82 and her family."My son Andrew is in seventh grade and wearing ‘boarder' clothes," Angela writes. "I knew that teenage girls were full of raging hormones, but because I grew up with only a sister, I didn't realize how tough teenage boys can be.However, I am on a rapid learning curve."

Angela, along with class officers Mary Bowler Jones, Nina Silfen, Roger Anderson, Jeanne Arnoldschwetje (née Arnold), and Sharon Palatnik Simoncini, attended the Assn. of Class Officers (CACO) Mid-Winter Meeting in NYC at the end of January, 12 degree weather and all. Ah, no sacrifice too big for their class!

Michael Bernard said his visit to Cornell for the 25th Reunion was an example of why he is a high school teacher: he took three weeks to drive to Ithaca, seeing Gerard Badorrek in Washington, DC, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Shenandoah National Park along the way. On the way home to New Mexico, he saw three national parks: Great Smoky Mountains,Mammoth Cave, and Hot Springs. "A little over 6,000 miles in an old Mazda truck!" he writes. "Now I've been to over half the national parks--my goal is to hit them all." Speaking of reunion, it not only gave us a chance to reconnect with old classmates, but gave our children a chance to get to know their children as well. Jane Sabin Sklar and her family stopped by our home during their annual visit to the warm climes of Scottsdale, AZ. Not only did we enjoy spending time with her and husband Michael, but our teenagers had a chance to continue a friendship initiated in Balch last June and continued via the Internet.

Here's the type of class note that can really get us in trouble. Stephanie Mitchell, JD '80 (sjm46@cornell.edu) writes, "I worry about telling you that last August (2002) I left Beijing, where I had finished a two-year stint with the European Commission and moved to Brussels, where I am now exploring exotic Europe and trying to brush up difficult languages with real grammar. I worry about this because every time I have told you of previous moves, they have been published so much later that invariably I have moved to the next country by then. As I moved here to be with my husband, posted permanently here, that would be a bad omen. So, please, come and visit and enjoy the chocolate, the mussels, and the gorgeous architecture--but don't make me move again!" -- Eileen Brill Wagner, brillcon@aol.com; Pepi F. Leids, pleids@aol.com.

79 | As you read this column I hope that you have made your plans to attend the best 25th Reunion ever. Reunion chairs Brad and Mary Maxon Grainger, MPS '87, promise to make this a weekend to remember. Mark your calendars and make plans, even if you can be there for only a day.

He represents employers in labor matters. He and wife Deborah live in Newton, MA, with their sons Jake, 14, and Nate, 11.

Attending a Cornell football game this fall has enticed Russell Stahl (Russell.Stahl@cmchealthsys.org) to return for reunion in June. Russell, Dan Leonard, and Dave Rupert went to the game to remember Mike Tanner and Frank Santamaria. Although Cornell lost the game, the group had a great time seeing old teammates, touring campus, and visiting Buttermilk Falls. Jesse Cohen (shorthills@stratis net.com) writes that he is looking forward to seeing ATO buddies and Gregg Popkin at reunion. He and wife Felicia have children Ben, 13, and Rachel, 12. Both children are great students and are involved in many sports in Summit, NJ. Jesse left Wall Street after working as a trader for 17 years in 1998. He started his own executive suite business in 1999 and has two active centers running. He is really enjoying the commercial real estate business.

Also in New Jersey, Janet Goldin Rubin (jarubin@comcast.net) writes that her son Eric just celebrated his bar mitzvah in fall 2003. Numerous Cornellians were in attendance, including classmates Nancy Sverdlik, Lou '76, JD '79, and Sue Landzberg Schatz, Debbie Moses, Maureen Nash, and Rhonda Carniol. Leslie Hoggard Taylor (lsltayl@aol.com) writes from Rosedale, NY, that her daughter Lauren is in seventh grade. Also in New York, Lori Glass Citak writes that her son Jordon, 17, has been accepted early decision to the Applied Economics and Management Program in the Ag college, Class of '08.

Considering Cornell for 2004 is Michael Accardo's son Adam. He is a senior at Eastchester High School in Scarsdale, NY, and is number one in his class. Michael (Maccardo@segal co.com) has been a consulting actuary with the Segal Company for five years, and was promoted to vice president in 2003. He and wife Jina recently celebrated their 20th anniversary. They are also parents to Katie, 14, who is a great student and excellent violinist. The Accardos, like many of us, are looking forward with dismay to paying two college tuitions in the near future. Elizabeth Gnau Robinson, M Ed '86, writes that she and husband Oscar are still living on their Brown Swiss dairy farm in South Otselic, NY, where they are certified organic producers. In November, they received the Chenango County Conservation Farm of the Year Award for 2003. The Robinsons have children Elise, a college freshman, Sarah, 15, and Peter, 8.

After spending 25 years living all over the country, Eric Hansen (enhansen@earthlink.net) has returned to Pennsylvania and lives in Lincoln University, 15 miles from where he grew up. He is still getting around the world as a pilot with Federal Express, flying international routes. He loves his job and only wishes he had thought of it earlier. Lisa Fernow writes from Seattle, WA, that she has completed the first draft of a murder mystery set in the Argentine tango community in Atlanta.
