Happy end-of-2018 holidays
to all of you, my friends and '70 classmates. The years seem to go by
so quickly for me. I wonder if this sensation results in part from having
celebrated a birthday milestone this past summer. Yes, I turned 70 on
Friday, August 13. So did another classmate and member of our class leadership
team, Ellen Kotsones Kreopolildes. Fun to share a birthday. Anyone
else from '70 born on Friday, August 13, 1948? I find it amazing, wonderful
and worthy of celebration that most of us became 70 years old in 2018. As
my 92-year old mom, Connie Foley Ferris '47, likes to say, "It's better
than the alternative! Any input about being 70 from you all is most welcome.
In a short year and a half, we will celebrate our 50th Reunion at Cornell! Contact
your friends and classmates, and make plans to meet in Ithaca from Thursday, June
4, until Sunday morning, June 7, 2020. It will be a busy, fun, and activity-packed
weekend! Check out our various '70 sites: our class website, cornell70.org;
our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Cornell70;
and our Twitter page,
www.twitter.com/CornellClass70. Any of our classmates who want
to help with our 50th Reunion (before and during), go to our website,
click on "Get Involved," and then scroll down to "Officers". Then you
will be able to e-mail our 50th Reunion Chairs, Sally Anne Levine,
JD '73, and Cathy Forster Hogan, to volunteer your time and expertise.

An addendum to news from
Diane Christopulos, who appeared in the July/August column: The president
of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is not the president of the USA! (I
asked.) Diana has now been on the president's advisory circle for several
months, in addition to being the president-elect of the Blue Ridge Land Conservancu
(BRLC). As Diana is very busy with other ventures, she will not become
the BRLC president until 2019. Because of the beautiful mountains, perfect
four seasons, many colleges and universities, and excellant healthcare, she and
Mark McClain moved to Salem, VA, to retire in 2003. They are 20 minutes
from one of the most photographed parts of the Appalachian Trail, McAffe Knob. Diana
completed her section hikes of the entire AT in 2008. She recently completed
two terms as president of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, the all-volunteer
organization that maintains over 120 miles of the AT in their region. Diana
has spent much of her time helping with opposition to the Mountain Valley Pipeline
at all levels of government. Yes, she is busy!

James Collyer and
his wife, Tuty, continue to live in Asia. He asks, "Retired? Is that
a word?" Presently, he is supporting an education initiative. James
is working to connect theory to practice outcomes. He has also been doing
some writing and finds that he is "still leaning heavily on E.B.White 1921."
(That is wonderful, James. Elements of Style by our
famous fellow Cornellian is one of my favorite high school graduation gifts. His
trilogy of classic children's books is a good idea for new baby gifts too.) James
and Tuty are still chasing their two teens. The older daughter is in
Ithaca.James muses: "How did that happen?!" He add "Living the cliché:
never stop learning!" and notes that this give him great satisaction in his lief. If
he had a day in Ithaca, James would "relish the diversity, sit in a lecture, take
in the view from the HFJ, cruise the Botanic Gardens, find a bench in Sapsuker Woods,
and count cars with a double scoop of Purity."

Jack Salberg, MBA '71,
and his wife, Susan, continue to live in Nashville, TN. For over ten
years now, they have been enjoying retirement and feel fortunate that they remain
physically active. Jack is a proud member of the local men's over 65,
level 4.0 tennis team. They have won the Tennessee state championship
two of the last three years. Last December, they played at the USTA Southern
Sectional tennis tournament in Hilton Head, NC. Recently, Jack and Susan
celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary. They dated throughout
most Jack's Cornell days. He notes that Susan "suffered through her share
of toga parties and other events at Cornell in the late '60s". For the
last six years, the three-week summertime "Camp Grandma and Grandpa" for two exclusive
campers, grandkids Joshua, 11, and Elsa, 9, has taken place in Nashville. Jack
and Susan love this great, if tiring, tradition. Seems the kids' parents
do too!
