was attended by classmates<br />
Rolf Frantz, Sue Rockford<br />
Bittker, Sue Maldon Stregack,<br />
Dick Lockwood, who<br />
has taken on the job of campaign chair for<br />
our 30th Reunion, Larry Eisen, Deanne<br />
Gebell Gitner, and, of course, Alice Katz<br />
Berglas. We are only two years away from<br />
our next big Reunion, the 30th, and we will<br />
probably start to organize committees and<br />
our outreach program to classmates within<br />
a very short time.<br />
There was a <strong>Cornell</strong> mini-reunion on<br />
January 29 in Mamaroneck, NY. My wife<br />
Kathy threw a surprise party for my 50th<br />
birthday and quite a few <strong>Cornell</strong>ians were<br />
present. Jeff and Rose Collins came up<br />
from North Carolina, Joan Handley Africk<br />
and husband Steve '65 came down from<br />
Boston, and Dick Fogel flew in from Washington,<br />
DC. From the greater New York<br />
City area, Rick and Maryann Mezan, Ron<br />
Goldstock, and Andy and Andrea Riger<br />
Potash represented the Class of '66. It was<br />
a great surprise party and a reminder that<br />
many classmates will be observing their<br />
50th this year; to all of them we send best<br />
wishes and continued success.<br />

this mature market.<br />

problems. Elliot's son Jason '95 spent the<br />
summer of 1993 helping out by checking the<br />
solutions to most of the new problems.<br />
