which took two of our children. We are<br />
hopeful she will share the good health of<br />

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

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