Slowly, carefully, we chip the ice from
the keys of the old, rheumatic portable . . .
this being the vernal equinox and we having
forgotten what that means in Fun City
. . . but maybe the snow will have melted
by the time this sees print ... the mails
have done a bit better, though. Al Spindler
has forwarded a couple of letters which we
gather he provoked while beating the bushes
for various Cornell funds. James B. Stewart
replied, "It sure was nice to hear from you,
even if the letter was a dun." That's the
spirit. Jim goes on to report that he is now
senior industrial designer for Sunbeam Corp.
in charge of outdoor products and new
product exploration. He is a member of the
Industrial Designers Society of America. He
and wife Judy Zucker now have two daughters,
9 and 6. Jim continues to be an active
supporter of the White Museum of Art,
and is listed as a "Friend of the Museum,"
which, although he doesn't say so, must
mean a rather good friend.
Another of AΓs correspondents is Doug
Stolz, now living at 109 Henderson Dr.,
Penfield. Doug has been with Xerox since
it was just little old Haloid Corp., and has
to be given credit for a lot of foresight,
especially by those of us who said, 'Office
copiers? Sounds kind of limited . . ." Doug
is in charge of mechanical design and construction
of new buildings, and probably
too busy even to watch his capital gains
mount up. (Xerox, by the way, is one of
the forward-looking companies that matches
alumni donations to their universities, as
Doug notes. Guess we'll go run off a few
copies . . .)
Our class assemblyman, Louis Wolfe,
brings us up to date with a quick note,
between campaigns:
"I am a member of the New York State
Assembly, having been elected in 1964
and re-elected due to reapportionment
twice since then. I am a Democrat in
Northeastern New York which is a stimulating
experience, to say the least. I am
the proud father of two beautiful daughters,
Ilyse and Jill, and live with my wife,
Zena, in our home in Plattsburgh, where
I practice law."
Two other barristers check in briefly.
Howard P. Fink, late of Yale, is now associate
professor of law at Ohio State, and
lives at 861-B E. Granville Rd., Columbus.
Howard and wife Sondra have one child,
Karen Aline, born last October. Lincoln
Reavis is practicing in Cleveland, where he's
a partner in Spieth, Bell, McCurdy &
Newell. Line was married to Mary Elizabeth
Olin in 1959, and they now have two
sons, James Olin and David Lincoln. The
Reavis manse is at 17725 Fernway Rd.,
Shaker Heights. (The shortest things lawyers
ever write are notes to the NEWS, and
columns in it. Right?)
Stanwyn G. Shetler makes his first appearance
in this column with announcement
of a 15-year project. He has been appointed
executive secretary of the "Flora North
America Project," headquartered at the
Smithsonian Institution. The plan is to write
a treatise on all the vascular plants of North
America, north of Mexico. Stan comes to
the project from his present post of associate
curator of phanerograms at the Smithsonian.
A recent note from Charlie Williams '44
warns us to allow five days for mail to get
from New York to Ithaca, so we're going
to save the rest for next month and put this
on the midnight stagecoach. As we write
this, our class president (Someone said we
shouldn't mention the same names too
often) is on the Long John Nebel show.
Would you believe they're talking about
pot and acid? Drop out at 35????

live and taped farm shows, including one

Received a fine note from Jody Katz
Krohn, who finally decided she had been a
silent classmate long enough. She writes,
"I haven't written in 10 years, so thought
I'd drop a line. I was class of '56 but
dropped out in 1955. On Feb. 3, 1957,
I married Johan Krohn in New York, and
one week later we married again in Norway.
Since then we've lived in Istanbul, Germany,
and England, but now are back in
Norway. We bought Fjellstolen Mountain
Lodge (70 beds) two years ago, and love
it here—Cornellians welcome!" The postcard
Jody enclosed shows a fabulous scene
—a lovely modern lodge with a happy
group of tourists riding by on horse-drawn
sleighs. If you're looking for an unusual
spot for your next vacation . . . Jody's address
is Fjellstolen, Reinli, Valdres, Norway.
Another '56er who is seeing some of the
interesting places in this world is Margot
Lurie Zimmerman, who writes from 22/7
Grant Rd., Bangalore 1, Mysore, India.
Margot says that her husband Paul is serving
as director of the Peace Corps for
Southern India and that they and their
family, which includes three children, will
be in India until September, 1968.
Jean Grant Whitney reports that some
things in her life remain constant—the same
husband, Hugh '54, is with the same company,
Eastman Kodak, and their address
hasn't changed either—18 Commodore
Pkwy., Rochester. Some things are new,
however, such as her MA from the U of
Rochester in June 1965, and a brand-new
daughter, Julia Mary, who was born on
May 10, 1966. The Whitneys also have a
son, Grant, 3.
