Welcome Cornell Class of 1962

Greetings Classmates:

Welcome to 2026! Next year is our 65^th reunion. I’m not sure how many of us will be able to attend. I’m hoping to give it a try.

If you have time, you can re-live our Class history on this website, including significant contributions that comprise our Legacy, the fun times we have had over the years at reunions, the somber reflections on those classmates that have passed, and much more.

An important feature on this website is Classmate News — created especially for you to communicate expanded status messages about yourself and your family. Your classmates are interested in knowing about your status, challenges and plans. We urge you to keep that news coming! Include a photo(s) if you wish. Send your news to Judy Prenske Rich.

Our annual Class Dues — now $30 — are tax-deductible contributions that sustain specific Class initiatives and are separate from gifts to the University. Of particular importance in this year before reunion, Class Dues support our ongoing communications efforts, including the website, USPS mailings, and all reunion hard-copy messages.  Please pay your Class Dues whenever you can.

We will continue to use the dues process as a mechanism for Class Gift Fund contributions as well.  The Class Gift Fund, which supports our Photography Collection at the Johnson Museum continues to be an important part of our Class Legacy.

Good Health and Happiness to you and your family in 2026.

Neil
