TOP LEFT:  A worried Reunion Chair greets Cornell President Jeffrey S. Lehman on his arrival in the Hurlburt House lounge. ("Why aren't all of my classmates seated in the tent? Why are they still milling around in the lounge?"). Eventually, the President; Kathy Okun, his wife; and everyone got seated. (Ph: Erica Evans)

     TOP RIGHT: Amid a sea of red hats, sweaters, blouses, etc., some 160-plus "Early Bird" attendees are shown partaking of the "International Salad Entrée Buffet" offerings. One salad was unrecognizable - and tasteless, too, but this didn't affect the many "Howdy's!" and warm greetings taking place. (Ph: Andy Capi)

     BOTTOM LEFT:  Kathy Okun, '44 hubby Charlie Sigety, and Class Secretary Peg Addicks appear to be enjoying their early evening dinner. The latter two are sartorially correct; Kathy, no slouch, wore the traditional "red."  (Ph: Erica Evans)  

     BOTTOM RIGHT:  '44 Prez Dotty welcomes her classmates at the 2004 Reunion's opening activity citing each of the attending octogenarians and their spouses as a "survivor" and adding that each played an important role in setting the new 60 Year Cornell Reunion Attendance Record at 128.  (Ph: Andy Capi)
