The proud grandfather is Glenn Meyer of Maple Glen, PA.We also had a very festive wedding last summer when my daughter Bethany Meyer '96 married Michael Paves (Cal Poly '95) on the beach in Cayucos, CA, on August 5, 2005. It was a theme wedding (which we highly recommend for added fun and excitement), and the "'70s Disco" idea was a big hit with everyone.Many Cornellians from the classes of '45 to '97 attended, including Ruth Henne Meyer '45, Alan Meyer '73, Robyn Meyer '97 (twin sister of the bride and Maid of Honor), and of course Glenn and me. -- Connie Ferris Meyer, 16 James Thomas Rd.,Malvern, PA 19355; e-mail, cfm7@cornell.edu.

71 | It's time to sign up for our 35th Reunion, June 8-11, in Ithaca.We are looking forward to some terrific events, including a Friday night reception and dinner in the atrium of Duffield Hall (the new engineering building), a tasting of Finger Lakes wines, a big barbecue on the Ag Quad on Saturday, and a Saturday evening dinner at Carl Becker House, which is the newest residential college.

72 | A truly unique Cornell event occurred on September 17, 2005, when more than 350 alumni and guests gathered at the Marriott Marquis in New York City to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Cornell Daily Sun. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. '44 and other distinguished Sun alumni (including Jay Branegan) delivered humorous and touching words from the podium about the history of the Sun and what the Sun has meant to them personally. "I went to Cornell having no idea the Sun was there,"Vonnegut said. "The Sun, thank goodness, showed me what to do with my life--and I did it." The Sun's current editor-in-chief, Erica Temel '06, discussed the Sun's recent admirable work in covering the resignation of former Cornell President Jeffrey Lehman '77. Austin Hoyt, grandson of the Sun's co-founder and first editor in chief,William Ballard Hoyt 1881, described his grandfather's post-1880 career as a prominent Buffalo attorney and then added, "The city in which he prospered is now dying from a variety of complications and is in receivership. The businesses in which he prospered are all in the dustbin of history--the New York Central, Pierce-Arrow, the giant steel mills that have gone the way of the waltz evenings and the mahogany launch. What lives on is his business venture as a student at Cornell. The Cornell Daily Sun is thriving because of all of you here tonight, who have nurtured his initial vision over all these many decades. And that gives me great pleasure."

The dinner was sponsored by the Cornell Daily Sun Alumni Association Inc. (www.cornellsun.org), a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1999 under the leadership of Stan Chess '69, JD '72, which subsequently assisted the Sun in acquiring splendid permanent quarters at 139 West State Street.Members of the Class of '72 in attendance included Peter Bartfeld, Jay Branegan, Phil Dixon, JD '80, Carolyn Jacobson, Elizabeth Lacher, RobertMolofsky,WalterMolofsky, Richard Neubauer, Gary Rubin,Manny Schiffres, and Gary Sesser. The assemblage of Sun alumni from classes ranging between '38 and '06 created an extraordinary evening that may be difficult to replicate in our lifetimes.

Eric Edelman is Undersecretary of Defense for the US government and a former deputy national security advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney. The office of Patrick G. Fitzgerald, special prosecutor in the CIA leak investigation, has confirmed that Eric was the person described (but not named) in the indictment of I. Lewis Libby Jr., the Vice President's former chief of staff, as the "then principal deputy" to Mr. Libby. The indictment of Mr. Libby "provides no indication that Mr. Edelman is suspected of any wrongdoing and does not even say whether Mr. Edelman was interviewed by prosecutors or testified before the grand jury," according to a report published in the New York Times.

Vicky Dominy Cairns was recently named director of instructional advocacy for the Delaware State Education Association, where she performs research and develops educational policy.

73 | Things are very cold, damp, and gray in Cincinnati in December as I write this column.However, our Bengals appeared in the NFL playoffs for the first time in 15 years, so my strong-arming my spouse to purchase season tickets when the new football stadium opened here five years ago finally paid off. "Who Dey!"

Laurence Bernstein (Toronto, Ontario; laurence@baycharles.com) kindly writes that with no kids going to Cornell he is hard pressed to find more than one reason a year to visit Ithaca.He adds that a leaky ferry from Toronto to Rochester is supposed to make the journey shorter and more fun, but he has yet to brave the tempests of Lake Ontario. On a more serious note, Laurence states that his firm, the Bay Charles Consulting Company Inc., a brand management consultancy that I checked out on the Internet, continues to develop a presence in China, which gave him the necessary excuse to go there three times in 2005, with each visit more fascinating. His firm is focusing on providing marketing advice to Chinese firms doing business in China, which is a somewhat different twist, but one which Laurence finds extremely interesting and challenging.

Bill Bintzer (Mamaroneck, NY) writes that his wife Jill Lerner '75 was elected a Cornell trustee. Bruce Bowlus (Ridgefield, CT; bruce.bowlus@sbcglobal.net) has transferred to the New York City offices of ING Capital as risk manager, after 12 years with ING in the Middle East, Singapore, and Tokyo (the last five and a half years). He is settling into life in the US, a new foreign assignment for him and his family after so many years living overseas, and enjoys supporting his younger two children's sports activities and son's Boy Scout troop. He fondly remembers the beautiful fall weather at Cornell, which I hope he was able to enjoy this year now that he is back in the States.

William Britz (Montgomery Village, MD;William_W_Britz@raytheon.com) is a program manager with Raytheon Co. supporting the Transportation Security Administration of the US Dept. of Homeland Security through Raytheon's nationwide contract installing baggage security systems.

Bill fondly remembers the many great long-term friendships he made at Cornell and would like to hear from classmate ToddWeber. (He also would rather be building his retirement home in Palm Coast, FL, with wife Maureen.)

Richard Fincher (Phoenix, AZ) is celebrating his fifth year of full-time practice in labor and employment arbitration. Dick recently co-authored a textbook with two ILR professors (former dean Dave Lipsky and associate dean Ron Seeber) on employment conflict management systems for corporations.

Daniel Scheraga (Tully, NY; dannypolo@aol.com) reports that since becoming executive director of the Polo Training Foundation in 1996, the organization has grown from teaching 500-600 players and umpires to nearly 2,000 annually, and its budget has grown from $400,000 to $875,000 per year. Daniel would like to hear from his Cornell polo teammates. Charles Wait (Saratoga Springs, NY; charleswait@hotmail.com) is chairman, president, and CEO of the Adirondack Trust Co. He is enjoying the challenges of his first term as a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Charles, who would rather be sailing, writes that he sailed across the Atlantic in May 2005 as a crewmember of the Pride of Baltimore II, a replica of an 1812 Baltimore clipper ship, a trip that took one month from Annapolis, MD, to Falmouth, England. He fondly remembers walking from Cornell to Wells College at 11 p.m. one October with now State Senator Mike Nozzolio, MS '77, and would like to hear from Mike, Steve Schaeffer, and Ken Kunken '72, MA '77.

I had lunch with Ian Starr (Wellesley, MA) here in Cincinnati in late October. Ian introduced me to my husband when all three of us were sitting in the back of a police cruiser.We were accompanying the Cambridge police on a portion of their night shift when we all were obnoxious first-year Harvard Law students in the fall of 1973. This program ended abruptly when Cambridge apparently got concerned about the enforceability of the releases from liability we signed at the station before we got into the cruisers. Ian has his own legal practice in Boston, but now spends a good portion of his time traveling throughout the US with his wife and fellow lawyer Natalie Choate, who presents retirement planning seminars to both professional and non-professional audiences. Natalie and Ian are avid birders and ethnic food gourmands, and happily have provided us with a copious list of Mexican restaurants for our planned January 2006 trip to Tucson and southeast Arizona.

This past year's highlight for our family was May 2005 in Ithaca, when we proudly attended the Cornell graduation of our firstborn, David Greenberg, a History and Government major. It was also graduation for Benjamin Stuhl, a Physics major, the son of my best friend from Cornell, Sheila Kojm, M ILR '75 (Bedford, MA), and our two families shared some special moments together that weekend, including a walk out to Cornell Plantations. At the President's reception for graduates and their families later that afternoon, we observed firsthand the obviously strained relationship between then-President Jeffrey Lehman '77 and Chairman of the Board Peter Meinig '61 as they greeted the guests, so the resignation news soon after did not come as a complete shock to us. The following day, I stood and admittedly wept in the grandstand as we sang the Alma Mater at the end of the Commencement ceremony.We then enjoyed the luncheon and diploma ceremony that the History department threw in the lovely garden behind the Andrew Dickson White House.My kudos to the Heights Cafe & Grill in Cayuga Heights, which did a great job serving graduation dinners to many on Saturday evening.

David is now suffering through his first law school exams at New York U. School of Law, where he lucked out with a 21st floor apartment with a beautiful westward view all the way to the Hudson River. An avid hockey fan, David purchased tickets for Cornell's January game in Princeton, where his sister Allison is laboring away on her thesis as a senior molecular biology major interested in children's disease research. -- Pamela S.Meyers, psmeyers@fuse.net; Phyllis Haight Grummon, phyllis.grummon@scup.org or phg3@cornell.edu.

74 | So here I am on the last day of exam week at Cazenovia College, composing the class column at the last minute, in the time-honored manner of students everywhere.Most public schools within a 100-mile radius have declared a snow day, and here in the interior design department, we just canceled two final design presentations because the instructors could not make the drive in.

Probably all of us have fond memories of trudging up Libe Slope or across a particular quad in a glitter of snowflakes while listening to the Libe Tower chimes. Debra Hinck of Woodbury, CT, recalls tray-sliding as her fondest memory of Cornell. She works at the Batelle Inst., enjoys gardening, and claims that her favorite after-hours activity is "breathing." Ed Evans, MBA '75, writes that he spent a year at the Hotel school helping to start an entrepreneurship program before returning to the private sector as executive VP of HR and organizational development for Allied Waste Industries in Scottsdale, AZ. He has recently reconnected with Mary Brierley Peterman '78, president of CMS-AZ, and Christine Marchell, MBA '81, president of the Cornell Club in Phoenix. Ed's wife Brenda maintains their home base in snowy Ithaca and he commutes back and forth.

Diana Perryman Taliaferro and husband Phil live in Erlanger, KY, where she works as a self-employed trial consultant. In their spare time, they are building a log cabin in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York.Much further north, Carol Feldman Klein and husband Jack report having had an Alaska address since 1979. She claims that they "forgot to have children." The Kleins plan to relocate to Switzerland in 2006 to renovate an old farmhouse and perhaps start a retirement home for cats.

Staying on the topic of animals, we find Dale Mantell, DVM '79, and wife Jeanne living in Doylestown, PA, where Dale works at the Doylestown Animal Medical Clinic. He notes extracurricular activities of building and sailing small boats, as well as attending their daughter's "horse activities." Florence Higgins, DVM '81, and husband John Lebens, PhD '88, live in Rush, NY, where she fills in occasionally as a small animal veterinarian for a Rochester practice. She also teaches dog obedience and agility training and serves as a taxi service for sons Zack, 11, and Greg, 15. Florence has been running 5Ks to stay active and placed second for her age group in a recent road race. She fondly remembers getting ice cream at the Dairy Bar. Neil Wolff and wife Ginny reside in Greenwich, CT, where Neil coaches various teams for three young sons. Their oldest is a freshman at Cornell. Neil works at the Blue Cross Animal Hospital; services for his animal clients include acupuncture, homeopathy, and nutrition counseling.

Classmate James Hatfield would most like to hear from "Richie, Lennie, Vera, and the Thurston Ave. gang."He vividly remembers both the riots and the peace marches from his time at Cornell. An endodontist now and living in Summit, NJ, with wife Kelly, James enjoys bird-watching from his kayak for relaxation. John Pieroni is a lawyer residing in Bergenfield, NJ. He enjoys singing and has fond memories of living at the "Shire," a 20-person cooperative-living arrangement just off campus. John would like to hear from Thomas "Ag"McAvoy, MBA '78. Reporting in from Princeton, NJ, is Robyn Berger Notterman, MD '83, a dermatologist in private practice. She and her husband Daniel '73 are "vicariously reliving Cornell through their son Ben '09, a freshman in Arts and Sciences.

Joan Saltsman Oelschlager reports that after husband Bob took early retirement from GE, they moved back to the D.C. area "from the mountains." This allows them to play a lot of tennis and to keep tabs on son John, a junior at UVA. Bob has started writing, while Joan enjoys quilting and knitting. Over the 4th of July weekend last summer, they enjoyed a couple of big get-togethers at the homes of classmates Dick Doyle and MikeMurphy. Also in attendance were Dick and Peggy Hayes Spellman '76, JD '82, Steve Lindquist and wife Sue, JackWind and wife Lana, Gary Schmidt and wife Terry (March) '73, Brad Ossip '75, Larry Quillian '73, MCE '77, and wife Suzy, and Jack Oelschlager '75 and wife Debbie.

She is also a volleyball mom for her daughter Ariel, a high school varsity sophomore; son Stephen is a secondyear student at UVA. Roberta Frank Palestine reports that she is a dermatologist living with husband Randy Elliot in Potomac,MD. She was very involved earlier this year, preparing for the backyard wedding of her daughter Sandra. The groom is British; apparently he and his groomsmen caused quite a stir in the neighborhood when they appeared in either morning suits or full regalia kilts.

Larry Pape, MBA '75, lives in Sterling, MA, with wife Elizabeth and has retired from Hewlett Packard, where he was VP, Foundation Services. He is gearing up for a variety of home improvement retirement projects, including landscaping, building a pond, and installing a waterfall. He remembers working as a student manager at the Straight and would like to hear from Michael Jacobson, MBA '80.

He notes, "Phil Stearns, Consulting is going well, while Phil Stearns, Photography is running a little slower."He and wife Marilyn live in Morristown, NJ. They recently traveled to Native American ruins in the Four Corners area of the Southwest. He has just finished remodeling their kitchen and teaches literacy volunteers.

Curtis Hamburg, a Miami cardiologist, sounds anything but retired. He writes that he is married to Ana Madeline and "started all over again with two new children, Matthew, 3, and Joshua, 2." They spent a week at the Statler this summer taking in the atmosphere and showing the kids their possible future. Curtis also has older children,Marni, 28, Sandi '01, 26, and Glenn, 22, as well as a 1-1/2-year-old granddaughter. He enjoys boating and golf and serves as an advisor to a new Beta Theta Pi colony at FIU. In a more relaxed vein, classmate Mark Schwartz of San Francisco reports that he has been "basking in the sun."Mark works days as an usher for the San Francisco Giants and writes poetry at night.He likes to "hang out in North Beach, a land known for beatniks roaming."Many will recall that Mark brought his latest volume of poetry to our 35th Reunion.

Sandy Wright of Madison, WI, notes that she is a research coordinator for the AQORN program (Access, Quality, and Outcomes Research Network) at U. of Wisconsin Medical School. She is the owner of Thread Dreams, a fiber arts business, works on affordable housing and community living options for the disabled, and deals with an ailing dad. She'd love to visit both her daughter Wendy Soref, 23, a Teach for America kindergarten teacher in rural Arkansas, and her son Jack, 20, who studies jazz composition at the Berklee Music School in Boston. Nearby in Holliston, MA, CeCe Hermann LeBeau teaches piano, leads a youth choir, and plays handbells at church. CeCe enjoys watching daughter Laura, 24, and sons David, 21, and Chris, 19, finish school and grow up. It must be almost 30 years ago that I last saw Cece and her new husband Paul. I was working as a summer waitress at the Christopher Ryder House in Chatham, owned by classmate Tom Kastner's parents, when CeCe and Paul showed up for a fancy dinner during their honeymoon camping trip on Cape Cod.

75 | I recently had the honor of attending the bar mitzvah of Scott Rosenthal, son of Vicki Hirsch Rosenthal and husband David, who is a colleague of mine at Seton Hall U. Scott's older sister,Michele, is now a sophomore at U. of Pennsylvania. Scott, by the way, has his dad's dry wit, which found its way into the ceremony. Enjoying the proud moment were several Cornellians. Joanne Newman Peyser traveled from Armonk, NY, and is a psychotherapist in Greenwich, CT. She is married to Robert Breslere, who was the only non-Cornellian at the table! Sitting beside Joanne was Paula Markowitz Wittlin '74, a photojournalist in Mamaroneck, NY. She was joined by her husband Floyd '73, an ILRie, who's an attorney with Binghman McCutchen. Laurie Michael Roth and husband Eric '74 were also present, and rightly boasted about their two Cornellian children, Jason '05 and Ariel '08. Eric continues his work as a litigation partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz in New York City. Jason is following in dad's footsteps as a first-year law student at NYU. Ariel is an American Studies major at Cornell and her faculty advisor is Richard Pollenberg, who was her dad's advisor!

Robin Michael Koenig and husband Scott '73, PhD '79, joined in as well. Their son Aaron is a first-year med student at the U. of Pennsylvania, and their daughter Sarah is a sophomore at Cornell.Marsha Miller and husband Carl Goldstein '73 are neighbors of the Rosenthals, living in Berkeley Heights, NJ. Their son Eric '05 just graduated Cornell, and is now at Washington U. in St. Louis. Daughter Julia is a frosh at Syracuse, and Jessica is a high school junior, like my own son Alex. It really was a pleasure to see so many classmates and to learn about how their children (some nearly adults!) were developing.

The Class News mailbag brought in some not-so-typical news from around the nation.Here's a sample.MarthaWild (mawild@sbcglobal.net) lives in San Diego and works for Alexion Antibody Technologies. Currently, she is working on an anthrax therapeutic antibody. In her spare time she plays in two bands, one Irish and the other an "old-timey band."During her recent recuperation from mushroom poisoning (which kept her away from reunion), she wrote a small booklet of mountain dulcimer tunes for the old-timey band. As she reflects back on her memories of Cornell, she remembers tray-sliding, sailing on Cayuga Lake, and a panel discussion featuring Fred Hayle, Isaac Asimov, and Carl Sagan. She'd like to hear from classmate Wayne Henderson. LindaWalz Riggi (rigfam@adelphia.net) lives in South Glens Falls, NY. She owns her own design firm and also teaches part-time at Adirondack Community College. She is also a JV soccer coach for the local high school. Her older son plays varsity soccer, so that, combined with her JV coaching work, gives her little time for sleep! She'd enjoy hearing from her sophomore roommate, Cinda Emerman.

Helen Wekstein LeBrecht, JD '81, writes from Waccabuc, NY (crystal1433@yahoo.com). She is an attorney, but finds time to ski and travel. She also enjoys yoga. Her daughter Alexandra just started her freshman year at Cornell, and she will be starting the college search process for her daughter Sabrina. Her fond memories include the Straight and the snow. She says, "I still love winter the best." She'd like to hear from Barbara Riggs and Steve Lyons. David Wright sent in a short note. He is a landscape architect in Branchville, NJ.

Benny continues to serve on the CAAAN committee.

Taking advantage of the terrific Cornell Adult University summer program in Ithaca were classmates John Abeles, Kathleen Clark, Mitch Frank, Marykate Owens, Daniel Schwartzberg, MD '75, and Joanne Tomczak.

Some class notes that are a bit vintage include messages from Jeff Shamis, who lives in Gainesville, FL, and Laura Davis Keppen, residing in Sioux Falls, SD. She is a professor of pediatrics at the U. of South Dakota School of Medicine. She spent ten years going to outreach clinics on the Rosebud Indian Reservation to identify children with fetal alcohol syndrome. She has four children ranging in age from 23 to 17.

79 | As I begin this class column, I hope that all of you had wonderful holidays and are facing the challenge of the New Year with great enthusiasm. Last fall was an interesting and fulfilling fall for me professionally. In July I accepted a position as an assistant clinical professor in the College of Health Sciences at Towson U. in Towson, MD. I teach pre-nursing, nursing, health education, and athletic training students. As I wrote this column in mid- December, we were in the middle of finals week, and I can honestly tell you that finals are hard work for the professor as well as the students. Preparing lectures and class activities is also very demanding, but great fun. I am really enjoying this new career and wish I had pursued it sooner. Students always make everything more interesting, and seeing them learn is a very uplifting experience for me. I look forward to spending many years in the academic environment. Family life is also great.My husband Bob Gould continues to be a marketing manager at Snyder's of Hanover, the number one pretzel manufacturer in the country. Allison, 17, is diligently finishing her senior year in high school and applying to college. She, like her brother, is interested in southern locations, so that eliminates Cornell and Ithaca College from the list of possibilities. Brandon is in his second year as a political science and economics major at the U. of Virginia. He is very active in University Democrats and actively campaigned this fall for Tim Kaine in the very close Virginia race for governor. He absolutely loves politics and UVA.
