Notes from the Cornell Class of 1991 - 1997 March/April

Class Notes, 1997 March/April

It is December 18, I leave for Florida tomorrow, I haven't done Christmas shopping, and there is a big storm heading toward New England. I am not the type to stress out, but this is as close as I've been in a while. Of course, at the time you are reading this, everything is back to normal here. I hope the same can be said for you and yours. Happy New Year! It seems that with all of your holiday happenings, most of you have forgotten to write to me. No problem... I'll just reach into the archives. I've taken out some of the notes I've not had room for in the column in the past and gave them some face time here. These are pretty much in random, chaotic disorder to match life around the holidays. There are lots of names here. I hope you can follow along. Here goes... New Stuff first, though...

Since Simon was a meteorology major with me, this is a good spot to include this weather update. Hope you don't mind me throwing it in. I started a new job in August at Fox News Boston. We are doing a one-hour newscast and I am the chief meteorologist. We are on Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. (o.k., I'm more like 10:30). If you are ever in town, check us out. Back to forecasting this big storm. If you don't want to hear about me anymore, you must send me information, stories, anything. I now have a home here, so my address has changed once again.
