Notes from the Cornell Class of 1991 - 2020 March/April

Class Notes, 2020 March/April

March/April 2020

Greetings from Kennebunk! As I write this in December, we are freezing up here in Maine, with some weather on its way. My son is hoping for a white Christmas this year. You’ll all be reading this in March, right at the start of Mud Season, Maine’s fifth season.

We heard from some of my favorite classmates this time around. First, my roommate and longtime dear friend Julie Welch Alvarez ’92 wrote from Central Texas that her oldest, Andrew ’19, graduated with a degree in Operations Research and Information Engineering from the College of Engineering. Andrew has had a great experience at Cornell! Julie also shared that she was able to celebrate Karen Paul Zimmer, MD ’98’s 50th in Philadelphia at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Also there were Georgia Bosseler Rossi ’90, Erinn Greene Ryen, Kelly Hammond Jessop ’90, MBA ’95, MRP ’96, Tom Wolf ’90, ME ’91, Nina Weissenberger Neel ’89, Rob Lane ’90, Elizabeth Bunta Haussman, and Abbe Goldberg Groffman. Julie also joined a lot of Cornellians on November 30 at Madison Square Garden, to see Cornell defeat BU 2-0 in the Red Hot Hockey game!

Tracey O’Connor Morzano, another roommate and dear friend of mine, wrote that her oldest, Isabella ’22, is a sophomore at Cornell and is loving it. Isabella runs track and cross country for the Big Red. I also heard from my old friend Doug Fudge, MAT ’92, and caught up with him. He is living in Culver City, CA, with his wife, Esta Spalding, and their daughter, Gemma. Doug is an associate professor at Chapman U., and he regularly talks with his roommates of several years, Harry Cosmatos, who lives in South Pasadena, and Ian Reichenthal, who lives in New York City.
