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

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