years!"<br />

l^f^J Now that summer's almost here<br />
^^ m we can forget the record snows,<br />
r^ m the cold, and the potholes, but for<br />
I I schoolteachers making up those<br />
II I lost days the key question is ...<br />
^^ will vacation ever get here? Two<br />
retired teachers enjoy year 'round vacations—David<br />
'56 and Jane Wedell Pyle,<br />
who are spending winters in Nokomis, FL<br />
and traveling. Last November they took a<br />
trip to Australia and New Zealand. On the<br />
return trip they stopped to see Ed '54 and<br />
Joyce Dudley McDowell in Hermosa<br />
Beach, CA. Another retiree is Adrienne<br />
McNair, who with husband Anthony Caputi<br />
(<strong>Cornell</strong> professor of English and comparative<br />
literature), spent part of 1993 living in<br />
Paris and San Francisco. Also last year, Adrienne<br />
and Tony were in London for the annual<br />
Adult <strong>University</strong> (CAU) theater tour<br />
which Tony leads with <strong>University</strong> Librarian<br />
and former Dean of Arts and Sciences Alain<br />
Seznec, and the group also went on a theater<br />
tour to Stratford, Ont, Canada. With<br />
the reading of plays beforehand, followed by<br />
meetings with actors and directors, Adrienne<br />
is finding that this is a marvelous learning<br />
experience. When she's back in Ithaca,<br />
there's gardening, tai chi classes, and writing<br />
publicity for "The Upstairs Gallery," a<br />
venture in which Priscilla "Johnnie" Kiefer<br />
Parrish has been active for many years.<br />
Also in the world of art, Beth Ames Swartz<br />
had a solo exhibition of her work, "A Story<br />
for the Eleventh Hour: A New Vision for<br />
Humanity," in February at the E. M.<br />
CORNELL MAGAZINE<br />
58<br />
Donahue Gallery in New York City, and<br />
some classmates were given a special preview.<br />
The exhibition, "Gertrude Kasebier,<br />
Photographer," for which Barbara Loebenstein<br />
Michaels was guest curator, has been<br />
in Atlanta and will be at the National Portrait<br />
Gallery in Washington, DC starting July 8.<br />
A couple of dates to put on your calendar—September<br />
17, which is the Homecoming<br />
game against Princeton. Once again<br />
Nancy Krauthamer Goldberg has graciously<br />
offered her house along the lake for a<br />
post-game party. And is there any place<br />
more beautiful than a sunny September Saturday<br />
in Ithaca? Nancy's address is 1709<br />
Taughannock Blvd., Trumansburg, NY. November<br />
12, <strong>Cornell</strong> at Columbia, is when the<br />
NYC-area classmates will get together. (Call<br />

From his ranch in southwest Colorado,<br />

most of his own organic food. He and Susie<br />

well as to France. Son Todd married last<br />
fall. Dick still does some work for a Minneapolis-based<br />
training/consulting company he<br />

a number of boards. From Haifa,Israel, John<br />
Wolberg sends the news that their two "babies"<br />

studies law in London and an older daughter<br />

Al Collard's son Bill joined his law firm<br />
last fall after graduating from Lehigh U., and<br />

was the other way around.) Daughter Elizabeth<br />

last spring and is with a New York City<br />
patent law firm. Son Tom is at Brown U.<br />
studying engineering and playing lacrosse.<br />

VA to Friendship, NY following<br />

college; daughter Kristin is house sitting the<br />
family home in Alexandria; and daughter<br />
Lisa has produced two grandchildren and is<br />
a lieutenant in the Navy in her spare time.<br />
Gonzalo Ferrer is on his second tour of<br />
duty on the <strong>University</strong> Council, necessitating<br />
a few trips to Ithaca and other exotic<br />
locales. Ernie Irvin had quadruple-bypass<br />
surgery last year and has worked his way<br />
back with the following philosophy, which<br />
he recommends to all: "Exercise—no fats—<br />
no salt/You smoke—you die—it's your own<br />
damn fault/After lunch a little snooze/And<br />
go real easy on the booze." • John Seiler,<br />
