and wish to make last-minute reservations,
call me at 607-273-8171 and I will try and
help. I am not including any news this
month; the best way to find out about your
classmates is to come to Reunion and find
out in person.
We do hope to see you some time June
16, 17, or 18.

Gordon E. Jones, erstwhile president of
AGR and Pi Alpha Xi, and now of Oyster
Bay (but not president) writes: "Since your
report last year about my work as director
of the State University's Planting Fields
Arboretum, I have been elected as a director
of the American Assn. of Botanical
Gardens and Arboretums and the recently
organized Rhododendron Species Foundation."
Gordon, we're glad to have been of
help.
Secretary of Agriculture Freeman announced
(it was last year, if you want to
know the truth) the appointment of Caldwell
McMillan of RD 1 Annapolis, as a
member of the Maryland Agricultural Stabilization
& Conservation State Committee.
Having taught at Tuskegee Institute, Caldwell
owns and operates a farm producing
corn, tobacco, and livestock.
Another farmer, and ex-president of Student
Agencies on the Hill, Frank A. Walkley,
represents Wyoming County in the
Assembly, and writes: "My wife (Patsy Curtis
'44) and four children keep the home
fires burning (at Glen Iris Rd., Castile) and
keep me posted on the dairy and apple
business. Our fifth youngster Sarah is at
Oberlin."
And from RD 5, Canandaigua, Norman
F. Lewis sends briefest news: "Daughter
Elizabeth '67 Arts. Wife Edith M. Kelsey
'44." My Cornellίan shows that he graduated
veterinary medicine and was co-captain
of the swimming team.
"After more than 22 years in the Navy,"
writes John Alden, "where I served in and
around submarines for most of my tour, including
some 14 years in shipbuilding, repair,
and engineering aspects of the business,
I am now in a second career with the
Engineers Joint Council, 345 E. 47th St.,
New York 17. Thanks are due to John
Munschauer and his alumni placement service
through which contacts were made.
Daughter Carol is at Oswego State, and
son J.R. is in engineering physics at Cornell.
Not only is he a double legacy
(Alden's wife is Ann Buchholz '45) but
also follows in the footsteps of more than
a dozen aunts, uncles, and cousins who are
past or present Cornellians." John, as you
may remember, retired from the Navy as a
Commander, having authored several articles
on naval history and six children.
Frank R. Sonimer has been named an
assistant treasurer of American Machine &
Foundry and the company's real estate and
property manager. The Sommers and their
two children also manage a property at 52
Rockledge Rd., Hartsdale.
If you have devised and would like to
advertise a better bedpan, the newly appointed
sales manager
of the American Hospital
Assn. is William
W. Howe (picture),
one-time president of
the Cornell chapter of
Delta Upsilon. His
background in the advertising
business includes
tours with
J. Walter Thompson,
Ted Bates, and since 1956 various advertising
and sales duties with the AHA. The
Howes, wife Margaret and two children,
make their home in Deerfield, 111.
Which reminds me that Deerfield (Mass.)
Academy alumnus William E. Woods
writes: "Moved from Los Angeles area to
Massachusetts with wife (Shirley Shapiro)
and three children. Now affiliated with
Computer Control Co. as senior staff engineer
in computer products department.
Interested in hearing from old friends in this
area," which happens to be 79 Woodland,
Natick, Mass.
And Robert S. Noyes writes from La
Jolla, Calif., that having opened Wilbur
Clark's Crest Hotels in Corpus Christi and
Austin, Texas, and in Disneyland, he is busy
with new ones in St. Louis, San Diego, and
Los Angeles.
Ralph H. Jones has added his Doctor of
Education degree (Ball State) to a list including

EdS (Butler). His PhD dissertation: "Legal
