The news continues to roll in from members
of the class. At last count, more than
80 had responded to our requests by sending
personal news along with their dues
payments to Treasurer John Meyers. So
there is a nice backlog for your correspondent,
one that sometimes puts him a bit behind.
... I like replying to Roger Gagnon's
wishes for a Happy New Year. Some bard
has said that position is everything in life.
How about time? Anyway, Roger, thanks
for your sentiments. I hope that you and
your family had a fine reunion in Montreal.
Roger's address is Lake Shore Hotel, 12506
Edgewater Dr., Lakewood, Ohio. While still
on a timely note, AI Richley says that the
blizzard of '66 is over. Before it started, he
had a nursery. When he wrote, all he could
see was a white sea. But that was back in
February. Perhaps things have cleared up
by now on S. Lake Rd. in Corfu, where Al
lives.
To many in the business world, any memtion
of business systems brings IBM to mind.
There are several '44s with IBM. Joseph C.
Logue has been with the company for over
15 years. In December, Joe was named a
Fellow of the IEEE. Just before that, he and
wife Jeanne flew to the Bahamas in their
Cessna 210. At last report they were planning
a return trip to learn scuba diving.
While the Logues were concerned with
ocean depths, the Fay McClellands are concerned
with Ithaca heights. Mac tells that
wife Phyllis (Dittman '43) is studying at
Cornell to qualify for teaching. She climbs
the library tower once a week to help out
the chimes staff. (I wonder if they play the
"Jennie McGraw Rag" at 7:50 as well as
they did in our day.) The McClellands live
at 2501 Owego Rd., Vestal. Mac didn't indicate
where he works for IBM among the
many locations in the Endicott, Vestal,
Owego area.
General manager at Endicott is Francis
G. Paul, unless he has been promoted since
he and I attended the Cornell Council meeting
in October. Skip, Betty, and family live
in Endwell, 406 Sunrise Dr. Farther away,
Harold H. Thomas is manager of operations
planning for the Federal Systems Center
in Bethesda, Md. He was disappointed
recently when daughter Kathleen turned
down an honorary scholarship at Cornell to
study at Wellesley. "Also a fine school,"
comments Harold. He manages to get to
Cornell occasionally, when he visits the IBM
facility at Vestal. His home address is 6217
Rockhurst Rd., Bethesda, Md.
In view of the equal time requirements,
and more particularly because he is a longtime
friend and dedicated classmate, we
report the transfer of John H. Miller by
Univac. After 11 years in Cheshire, Conn,
on three different jobs, John has been moved
to the home office education center. The
Miller family now live in Ambler, Pa., at
1615 Butler Pike. John says that he is still
shaking his head over the articles that the
Miller family collected during 14 years in
one house.
The Class of 1944 seems to be contributing
its share to the present generation of
Cornellians. Dr. Richard M. Alexander has
a daughter who is a freshman in home economics.
Dick is practicing surgery in Great
Neck, and is alumni representative to
Aquarius, the undergraduate swimming society.
There seems to be a bit of an incon-

CORNELL FUND

at 10 a.m. in Alice Statler Auditorium

Fund Campaign.
2. Election of officers and members

sistency between his home address and his
surgical specialty. The latter is not thoracic
surgery ... far from it! Dick's address is
15 Canterbury Rd., Great Neck.
Alex Hutchinson is a freshman in civil
engineering. Father is Alexander P., 1505
Walnut St., Pittsburgh, Pa. Arnold Tofias
still lives in Newton Center, Mass., but son
Donald is spending most of his time in
Ithaca as a freshman in architecture. Tom
Cochran is one step ahead, since daughter
Jane is a sophomore. Son Fletcher is another
one of the Cochrans who aspires to
Cornell. There is a particular reason for
this Cornell dedication. Alice (Kincaid '43)
Cochran, though associated with "that other
class," is another loyal Cornellian. Bill
Wheeler's sons are not yet of college age,
but have shown a real interest in Cornell
since they visited the campus with Bill in
February. Bill hopes that son Steve will enter
in 1968. The Wheelers live at Nashawtuc
Rd., Concord, Mass. John D. Sheehey, 78
Brookby Rd., Scarsdale, reports that son
Paul has applied for admission in September.
John is president of Sheehey Building
Corp., 164 Montague St., Brooklyn.
Entering in September will be Jack Kimple,
who is a two-time '44 Cornellian. Father
and mother are Burl and Frances
(Ward). Going back another generation are
grandparents Albert A. '13 and the late
Frances (Driscoll) Ward. But don't start
counting Jack's aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
I just tried, and gave up when I hit 23.
However, that count did include a few Cornellians
who married into the Driscoll family
that branched out to include Wards,
Careys, and Warrens. Excluded from my
count are many other branches of the
Driscoll family.
Getting away from the Cornell heritage
is the daughter of Thomas B. and Barbara
(Larrabee '43) Johnson. She is attending
Keuka College. Barbara teaches in junior
high school, and Tom is branch manager
in Batavia for Central New York Equipment
Co. The Johnsons' address is 24 Ross
St., Batavia. Meredith Cushing's daughter
is in her junior year at Elmira College. Bud
is general manager of Seitz. Oil Products
Refining Corp. in Syracuse. His home address
is 6483 Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse.
Irv Edwards' daughter was awaiting word
on her application to Cornell when Irv
wrote. As he mentioned, the time is a nervewracking
one for student and parents. But
the Edwards family had some relief from
the waiting tension. Thirteen-year-old
daughter Siri won a scholarship to the
Interlochen Arts Academy. She is a cellist,
and looks forward to playing in the Interlochen
orchestra that has earned such a fine
reputation. The Edwards's address remains
1119 Beard St., Flint, Mich.
Farther west is Alfred Owczarzak. (That's
a long way from the red clay and the scrub
pines of Ft. Bragg, Al.) He is in his 11th
year at Oregon State U, where he is associate
professor of zoology. Al complains
about three years of planning for a new
biology building. It is under construction
now, so all should be well. But he asks if
any '44 architects would like to try their
hands at teaching cellular biology. The
Owczarzaks live at 1625 Hillcrest Dr., Corvallis,
Ore.
William Felver is still teaching the classics,
and continues with the same address
- 1240 Chilver Rd., Windsor, Ontario. Bill
is another classmate who enjoyed our big
21st Reunion last June. Reporting a new
address is Walter B. Gerould, 354 N. Main
St., Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Walt has been
transferred to Cleveland as district manager
for New Britain Machine Co. Mort Goldenberg
also sends along a new address: 731
Ashbourne Rd., Elkins Park, Pa. Since Mort
and I work together on Cornell Fund activities
in the Philadelphia area, I suppose
he feels that no further news is needed.
Another Cornell worker, on the secondary
schools committee, is Charles H. Hoens, Jr.
Charlie is practicing law in Newark. He is
nearer to the red clay and scrub pines of
Ft. Bragg than Al Owczarzak, but I'm sure
that he doesn't get any closer to them than
Al does . .. 1943 was enough.
With apologies to the former field artillerymen,
we leave you in the hills of North
Carolina until next month. In the meanwhile,
please send along news about yourself.
I need more copy.

Hugh M. Keeley, 75 Rivergate Dr., Wilton,

The metropolitan area group of the class

luncheon is Doug Archibald (WO 2-7715).
Please call him if you intend to come. The
luncheon will be followed by a tour of the
Archibald-Kendall spice factory.
David R. Newcomb has been elected
president of the Buffalo Forge Co. Dave
lives in East Aurora, and is vice president
