Greetings Classmates:

Our 65^th Reunion is coming up fast: June 10-13, 2027! Yes, 65 years since we graduated! How is this possible? Not sure but I am certainly grateful to be even thinking about a return to Ithaca. Frank Quirk and Nancy Williams Clark are hard at work planning our June get-together. There’s no way to know just yet how many of us will be able to attend, but we’re hoping that you will give it serious thought. Think of it as one last hurrah – ambling across the quad, mixing it up with old friends, checking out the Straight, nostalgically listening to familiar groups singing old favorites, recapturing memories of our time on the hill. Join us.

Reunion plans will be posted on this website and communicated directly to your from now through June.

In the meantime, take a trip down memory lane courtesy of this website. Here, you can re-live our Class history, including all the significant contributions that comprise our Legacy; recall the fun times we have had over the years at reunions, reflect somberly on classmates who have passed, and so much more. Use the menu above to guide you through it all.

One important feature on this website is Classmate News — created especially for you to communicate about yourself and your family and your lives. Your classmates are interested in knowing about your status, challenges and plans. Entries that you send directly to me and/or to Cornell are also published online in “Class Notes”/Cornellians. Alas, that column is released about two months after it is posted here and does not include any of your photos. We love to hear from you. So, keep your news coming via this link: Judy Prenske Rich.

Our annual Class Dues are tax-deductible contributions that sustain specific Class initiatives and are separate from gifts to the University. Dues support our ongoing communications efforts, including this website, USPS mailings, and all reunion hard-copy messages. We will continue to use the dues process as a mechanism for Class Gift Fund contributions as well.

The Class Gift Fund supports our Photography Collection at the Johnson Museum, which continues to be an important part of our Class Legacy. Our Class collection – 37 outstanding images – is used throughout the University as a teaching tool for students and public audiences, is exhibited at other museums and schools, and has served as a catalyst for new photography initiatives at the Museum, including an endowed chair, Curator of Photography. It is the only class-supported photography collection at the Museum making it unique among Cornell alumni projects. This year, all funds remaining in the Class Gift Fund will go towards the purchase of photos in memory of Neil Schilke and in honor of our 65^th Reunion.

Our 65^th Reunion – June 10-13, 2027

BE THERE!

Cheers,

Judy
