We're all in this together.

     The 98 individuals whose names are listed below - and believe me there ARE 98 so don’t bother to count them - are by no stretch of the imagination to be regarded as a "mob scene." They are the members of our own Class of '44 who, individually, chose to make a personal donation to the University, and who did so in amounts between $25.00 and $499.00. I was one of these donors and have been asked by the Webmaster to elaborate on our participation.

     As background, know that our individual contributions, together with those of our ’44 classmates in the other donor categories, were made during the FY period ending Dec. 20, 2007 and here’s the all-important bottom line: our combined donations amounted to a surprising non-Reunion.year.total.of $267,477.57! That's a surprising "per donor" average of over $202 per class member, taking into account the several most generous four and five figure contributions made by a select group of '44s.

     Please understand that I’m not in any way connected with the fundraising activities of '44 or those of my classmates. These have primarily been handled for the Class of 1944 most competently by our hardworking Cornell Fund triumvirate of “Hank” Bates, Jerry Levitan, and Peter Miller. I clearly recognize the importance of alumni support and what this support means to Cornell, and I’m delighted to be able to tell you about this facet of it in this ’44 website page . .
