Beth Nash threw herself a 30th<br />
birthday bash in New York City<br />
in October 1992 at the <strong>Cornell</strong><br />
Club-New York. There were<br />
plenty of <strong>Cornell</strong>ians on hand, including Lisa<br />
Batter O'Rourke, Jackie Zoladz Buffon,<br />
Janice Parmelee Wingo, R. Hayden<br />
Schofield, Chris Cummins, Charlie Cole,<br />
Suzanne Karwoski Jonker '83, Sarina<br />
Monast Bronfin '82, Elizabeth Warner<br />
'87, Ali Sanderson '86, Tom Vecchione<br />
'86. Beth said that Jackie delivered her baby<br />
the very next morning. It must have been<br />
some party! Beth has also been involved in<br />
starting a <strong>Cornell</strong> Club of Oklahoma. There<br />
are more than 100 alumni in the Tulsa area.<br />
o<br />
o<br />
Good luck keeping the "Red and White"<br />
spirit going down there! Beth may also want<br />
to give Andy Baxevanis a call to hear about<br />
all the great things he has done with the<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong> Club of Maryland. Andy was reelected<br />
to a third term as president of the<br />
club. He says anyone interested in getting<br />
involved or organizing a Class of '84 event<br />
should give him a call. As president, Andy<br />
had the privilege of representing <strong>Cornell</strong> at<br />
the inauguration of the new president of a<br />
Washington, DC university. Andy has also<br />
been elected director, Mid-Atlantic region,<br />
on the <strong>Cornell</strong> Alumni Federation board. He<br />
helps organize local events, such as <strong>Cornell</strong><br />
Day at the Baltimore Orioles' home, Camden<br />
Yards, last spring. In addition to all of<br />
his <strong>Cornell</strong> volunteer activities, Andy hardly<br />
finds time for his new position as a research<br />
associate at the National Insts. of<br />
Health (NIH).<br />
Karla Sievers McManus is on the<br />
board of the <strong>Cornell</strong> Club of New Hampshire.<br />
She started her master's in environmental<br />

If you thought Tommy Moe and<br />
Picabo Street had fun on the<br />
slopes in Lillehammer last February,<br />
wait until you hear about<br />
the ski adventures of Karen Silverman<br />
Anderson. In January,<br />
Karen went on what she thought was a<br />
Swiss ski vacation with her beau, Gerry<br />
Anderson, and with David Schulsinger and<br />
other friends. However, the trip turned into<br />
a vacation/wedding/honeymoon-all-in-one<br />
when Karen and Gerry decided to tie the<br />
knot... abroad. As Karen says, 'Ύes, the ceremony<br />
was in German. Yes, it was translated.<br />
And yes, they say it's legal in this country!"<br />
Julia McCann, a pulmonary fellow at<br />
the Guthrie Clinic in Sayre, PA, opted for a<br />
wedding a bit closer to our alma mater. She<br />
wed Richard H. Miller III in a September<br />
ceremony in Johnson City (outside Binghamton)<br />
attended by Joyce Fries, an engineer<br />
for NUSC; Trish Kelley Marina, "who<br />
has children Matthew, Megan, and James;"<br />
Gerald Ortiz, an orthopedic resident at U.<br />
of Southern California, who has daughter Alexa;<br />
G. Michael "Mike" Ortiz, a urology<br />
resident at U. of Vermont; Owen "OJ"<br />
Murphy, a doctoral candidate in biochemistry;<br />
Rich Strassberg, whose January<br />
wedding Julie attended; Jim Nee, a teacher<br />
in Kingston, NY; Alex Herrara, who<br />
works for DEC and lives outside Boston;<br />
John Passalacqua, who works in sales and<br />
lives in Fort Lee, NJ; Laurel Shuster '86;<br />
and Sang Kil Yi '86. Julia added, "Sorely<br />
missed at the festivities were Tom Martin,<br />
who was on-call in his oncology fellowship<br />
at U. of California, San Francisco; Felicia<br />
Miller Morgan '86, who has a baby,<br />
Zachary; and Lisa (Golden) '86 and Greg<br />
Hofstetter. All in all, it was a great reunion!"<br />
