of the nomination of Keegan for University
trustee. This is certainly an honor for him
and, indirectly, for the class. Let's get behind
him!
"Chuck Reynolds' class development committee
is making great strides in the study
and planning of a class project. Council
members at the meeting agreed that we
should push ahead on something dramatic
as part of our 20th Reunion (only two
years away) celebration. The goal must be
realistic and, certainly, beneficial to the
university and its students. Such an endeavor
will require the support and hard work of
all '49ers . . . and I'm convinced we can
do it. You'll hear more about this."
Special notice: any Forty-Niners returning
to Ithaca this June for the off-year Reunion,
please contact Don Geery about informal
get-together or dinner arrangements.

This year Sylvia Hirschhaut Frank has
taken the large and important job of New
York metropolitan area chairman for the
Cornell Fund Drive. In addition, she has
started classes at Adelphi College's School
of Social Work, and next fall will begin
two years as a full-time student, which
means three days of field work weekly plus
two to five courses. Social work at home
includes husband Bob, and the children, the
youngest of whom will be entering junior
high next year.
Elaine Rosenfeld Cines lives a busy life
in Florida, N.Y. She and Bob have two
sons, Steven, 11, and David, 7, and a family
clothing store. Along with helping in the
store occasionally and her other community
activities, Elaine became village librarian
this past year, which means two
afternoons of work plus lots of responsibility.
There are other Cornellians in the
area and she writes of seeing Renee (Wolf)
and Fred McKible in Newburgh, and Janet
Sager Lloyd in Middletown.
The cooking course I have been giving
in Livingston Adult School is continuing
this spring with a change of pace to main
courses rather than desserts and, happily,
a nicely enlarged enrollment. My co-instructor
and I are hoping to expand further into
daytime classes later this year. It is all quite
exciting—and a little fattening.
We have been having trouble at times
with our mail delivery. If any of you have
written and have not been included in the
column, please send me another card.

With the coming of May we have the end
of school to look forward to and a beautiful
summer in Ithaca to enjoy. Not to bore
you with my personal life, but Doris and I
are happy to announce the birth of our first
son on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, when
Steven Albert arrived upon the scene to
complement our daughters Christine and
Susan. We also became frustrated in our
attempts to plan and build a home on
some property we had purchased on a hill
on the east side of Lake Cayuga and decided
to delay this move for the present. We have
purchased a home on the west side of Lake
Cayuga on a hill overlooking the lake,
Cornell University and Ithaca College campuses
and Ithaca Falls, and are quite happy
with our new home and its beautiful view.
We look forward to our classmates visiting
us.
