contributions rolling! Ed Carman's son is a<br />
several-time <strong>Cornell</strong> legacy. Mother Cecily<br />
(Bishop) '46, and grandfather Edward H.<br />
Carman Jr., is a member of that famous<br />
Class of 1916. Cal DeGoIyer's daughter<br />
Christine is also '70, in the College of Arts<br />
& Sciences.<br />
John Hotaling reports that his son is not<br />
at <strong>Cornell</strong>, but at Mohawk Community<br />
College in Utica. However, this does not<br />
change John's loyalty to <strong>Cornell</strong>. He even<br />
favors an extended milk punch party at the<br />
big 25th Reunion ... if Cal promises to be<br />
a little quieter in mixing the ingredients.<br />
However, since milk is CaΓs business and<br />
livelihood, any restriction on his exuberance<br />
in pouring 10 gallons of milk into a 25-<br />
gallon wash tub that already contains 18<br />
gallons of spirits might be legally defined as<br />
cruel and inhuman punishment by the<br />
Supreme Court. So John's proposed condition<br />
is stricken from the record. And Al<br />
Richley gets us away from all this by reporting<br />
that there are no new additions to<br />
his family; and he is still in the nursery<br />
business in Corfu despite drought, rabbits,<br />
deer, etc.<br />

There we were at 800 feet, right over<br />
midtown Manhattan, and we seemed to be<br />
losing altitude. To our right was the spear<br />
point of the Chrysler Building tower, dead<br />
ahead was the Secretariat Building at the<br />
United Nations, and to our left were all<br />
the glass-caged Park Avenue office buildings.<br />
The sun was setting and the city lights began<br />
to twinkle below. The situation was<br />
desperate. The decision reached by almost<br />
30 Forty-Niners at the annual class dinner<br />
last March 14 was to make a dive for the<br />
'Copter Club bar (Pan Am Building). The<br />
cocktail hour was superb with our own<br />
private room, bar, and view!<br />
Among those who appeared were Hal<br />
Hecken, Dick Eisenbrown, Walt Peek, Bob<br />
Curran, Dick Keegan, Howie Lemelson,<br />
John Palmer, Joe Quinn, Don Geery, Ned<br />
Bandler, Frank Senior, Pete Johnston, Hal<br />
Warendorf, Chuck Reynolds, Ed Poppele,<br />
Jack O'Brien, Neil Reid, Lee Hill, Jack<br />
Watson, Richie Reynolds, Marty Hummel,<br />
Ron Hailparn, Bill Hover, Tom Weissenborn,<br />
Tony Tappin, Bruce Graham, and<br />
Jim Shaver.<br />
The class council met before the cocktail<br />
hours for some committee reports. Neil<br />
Reid, reporting on the <strong>Cornell</strong> Fund, said<br />
that about 15 per cent of the class contributed,<br />
despite valiant efforts by his farflung<br />
committeemen to encourage greater<br />
participation. Treasurer Bob Williamson's<br />
report was interpreted by Red Dog Johnston<br />
who declared that we now have almost<br />
$3,000 free and clear.<br />
Don Geery in his secretary's report announced<br />
that dues collections were about<br />
even with last year's total at this time (345)<br />
and that our goal of 400+ dues payers<br />
will probably be reached. Our group subscription<br />
list now totals about 500 men as<br />
we have stopped sending the ALUMNI NEWS<br />
to classmates who have not paid their dues.<br />
The wisdom here is to build up the treasury<br />
for the 20th Reunion (1969).<br />
Two other committee reports pointed up<br />
the valuable work being done in areas of<br />
increasing interest to our class. Here are<br />
some comments by Red Dog about those<br />
committees:<br />
"Dick Keegan's university affairs committee,<br />
in its search for facts to keep the<br />
class enlightened on university activities,<br />
seems to have plowed into virgin lands.<br />
Its inquiries in Ithaca have generated questions<br />
that few people thought of before in<br />
regard to relations between classes and<br />
other alumni groups. As a result, both<br />
Keegan and Marty Hummel now participate<br />
as working members of the class affairs<br />
committee of the Assn. of Class officers. We<br />
look forward to some good answers so that<br />
we can act more effectively as a class.<br />
