TOP ROW LEFT: Asked to be seated in their Barton Hall bleacher seats on or before noon, the whole shebang - all 209 of them! - did just that. Most had marched down from Bartels Hall, the site of the 10:30 am "State of the University Address" by President Jeffrey S. Lehman '77.  The reason for the  "noon" deadline: We had a 12-minute "Meet your Honorary Members' Program!" planned for all seated attendees (Ph: Andy Capi).
     TOP RIGHT: During the "seating" phase, '44 VP Dan Morris chats with President Emeritus Frank Rhodes. Rosa Rhodes is seen in the background (Ph: Erica Evans).

     SECOND ROW LEFT:  Honorary Members Jim Hazzard (back to camera), Jean and Frank Clifford (red shirts), and Rosa and Frank Rhodes chat while assembling before the brief ceremony (Ph: Andy Capi).
     RIGHT: The same fivesome and the other '44 Honorary Members wait in the wings at the left as Dan Morris (Brinkley) and Andy Capi (Huntley), the program's MCs, rustle their scripts. An unseated Charlie Sigety (shown at the right) awaits an opening anywhere in the bleachers, preferably one near his already seated spouse, Kit. (Ph: Andy Capi).

     THIRD ROW LEFT (Both photos taken by Class Clerk Amy Smith using Andy Capi's camcorder): '44 Senior VP and Co-MC Andy Capi reads the Honorary Member's citation as Dan Morris then announces the names of the '44 Class Officer couple who'll serve as their Parade escorts.
     RIGHT: Three '44 Honorary Members wait for their individual citation to be read by MC Andy. Shown are Mary Berens (forefront), the current Director of Alumni Affairs; to her immediate left is Margaret Gallo, Director of Class & Reunion Programs; and to Mary's immediate right is Laura Toy, Director of College, Unit, & Project Development at Cornell. In the left rear, Nancy Torlinski Rundell, '44's Senior VP for Communications and husband of Honorary Member Francis "Bud" Rundell, waits to queue up.
     NOTE: The names of all 20 Honorary Members and their citations can be found by clicking the "About Us" tile on our '44 Home Page and then the "Our Honorary Members" tile that appears in the drop down list.

     FOURTH ROW:  A side view, two-piece spliced photograph shows the 2004 attendees as they posed for their 60th Reunion group photo that's shown on the 60th's Home Page. (Both photos of this montage were taken by Class Clerk Amy Smith).
