| Let’s celebrate! For Cornell students summer is over but Move-In Week started Monday and that’s exciting. The campus looks great and feels ready to celebrate a much more normal school year!
While current Cornell students are heading back to campus, I hope you and your friends and family are still celebrating summer. COVID has kept us pretty isolated for 2 years but this summer everything seems to have opened up and people are finally getting together.
For many of us we have been able to celebrate our 70th birthday with our loved ones. That was certainly the highlight of my summer! My daughters arranged a surprise visit from some dear Cornell friends to add an already fun weekend in Nashville. As you celebrate your 70th birthday or any special event, don’t forget to send notes and photos to Bill Howard who is once again compiling these memories for our [notable] class as a lead up to our 50th Reunion.
Reunion planning has already started. It is our big one, after all! Bill is compiling photos. Bob Baldini , Cris Cobaugh and John Foote are pulling together a team to plan events and activities for our 50th Reunion. Ideas and volunteers are needed and encouraged! Please get in touch with Bob, Cris or John if you’d like to get involved, or if you have just one suggestion about reunion. Mary “Mi” O’Connell is spearheading our affinity outreach so we can connect classmates and get a good turnout on campus in June 2024. We are collecting music selections for Reunion—see P.S. below!
Happy summer! Celebrate and be well!
PS: Last month we said we are going to feature in our Class Reunion HQ a playlist of all the favorite songs during our time on the Hill. We have received the selections below; send us yours! (Email jhf25@cornell.edu .)
