From President Emeritus
Frank H.T. Rhodes:

Dear Art:
      Many thanks for your warm and generous letter. How can I possibly refuse to do whatever you want to contribute to your website.
      I'd be delighted to participate. Just tell me what you want me to do.
      One thought I had, and this is very much subject to your review, is to say a few words about winning the battle of a new millennium, but I don't want to make it sound too somber.

For active
'44's only!

     I gave the Olin Lecture on this at Reunion and it sparked lively debate.
      Rosa and I send our fond good wishes to you and Dotty and to our many friends in the Class of '44.

Frank

(Ed. Note: President Rhodes has been invited to present the first 7- to 8-minute sound bite for our new website page entitled The Forum. We plan be invite a different Cornell leader to address us each month on a subject of their choice.)

From Bruce Love for the Sigety family:

Dear Art:
      At your request I have provided a photograph of the four Snell sisters, a unique assembly that shows these four Cornell graduates from the same family.
      Left to right, they are: Kath-arine Snell Sigety,'44; Julia Snell Wood, '42; Mary Snell Martin, '47; and Cornelia Snell Bensley, '40.

Bruce

(Ed, Note: We're going to toss this into the Alumni Office hopper and see if they can find another family that can equal or top this. We're betting they can't.)

"Heard your pitch, but geography says, "No!"

Art,
      Wish I could help, but I have a slight problem. During WW2 I was a Marine -I have some pictures, BUT the photos are in my home in Worcester, MA and I am in my summer home on Cape Cod ‘til Sept. 6. The photos and I are more than 100 miles and 2 hours apart. Sorry!

(Ed. Note: Len's email was in response to our plea for US Army Air Corps or US Marine Corps '44's in their WW2 uniforms. We need just ONE to finish a 12-classmate photo montage for the website.If we get 6 or more we'll mix ‘em in with our Army-Navy "overs" in another Glory Years page.)
