Happy Holidays–Looking Back on our 50th and Forward to Many More!

It’s December, when we traditionally look back at all that we did this year.  And it was a seminal one for the Notable Class of ’74, as we celebrated our 50th Reunion with a record turnout in June.  We’re told that many Cornell classes tend to slow down after their 50th, but, as you surely know, that will NOT be true for us.  We are already looking ahead to our 55th in 2029, and our 75th in 2049. (I was honored to be my mother’s “plus one” at her Cornell 75th in 2010.)

But before we close out this year, let us mention that Classmate Bruce Mainzer was excited to attend the recent Cornell women’s basketball game versus Northwestern in Bruce’s hometown of Chicago.  Our Class of ’74 Scholar Summer Parker-Hall (who is from Chicago) scored her first double-double of the season (16 points & 14 rebounds).  Bruce says, “So proud of my Highland Park, IL neighbor—Cornell played tough getting within 3 in the final minutes of the game before Northwestern pulled away.”  Read about Summer’s exciting play in her hometown here.

 

And earlier this fall, a group of Class of ‘74 leaders participated in Cornell’s annual Trustee-Council weekend on campus.  Pictured, left to right: Jim Irish, Dale Lazar, Andrea Glanz, Jaclyn Spear, Mary Berens, Tom Piwinski, Kristen Rupert & John Foote.
