1964

Although this is old news by now, another record-breaking Alumni Fund effort was chalked up by the class of 1964. We raised $190,968 and set a new record for a class of our advanced years. There were 440 '64s who contributed to the campaign and, the 82 of us who gave $1000 + also set a record for leadership donors in a non-reunion year. Congratulations to Sandy McGinnes, Bob Bartles,Chris Palmer, Lee Chilcote, Carl Durei, and Roger Aaron for their outstanding work in organizing the "Team 64" machine.

Jim Cornehlsen extends the following message to any wives who are so devoid of outside stimulation that they have stooped to reading this column: "Ladies, listen up! My wife, Carol, had no desire to spend a few days next June with some rah-rah rowdies, though quietly I tried to tell her about the good times with now-grown men with families. No effect! Then we ran into Phyllis Isaacson (Rick too) who said that she would go if Carol would go. We flew to Seattle and had dinner with Reed and MaryAnn Langenback and made the same deal. On returning to New York, we went to a show with Paul and Haddie Hale and, guess what? They're all going now ... if you do too!

"Seriously, if you're bored with your husband, there will be some interesting people to talk to. If you want tq leave your husband this is a great place to start."

Jim is at Handy Associates (an executive search and senior management compensation consulting firm at 212/692-2206). Jim and Carol spend weekends at their beach house in East Hampton (516/324-5665).

My old (or maybe I should say erstwhile or one time) roommate, Mike Bender, was in the news recently as the Federal Courtappointed attorney assigned to the defense of David Lane. Lane, a neo-Nazi, was accused and subsequently convicted of the 1984 slaying of Denver radio personality Alan Berg.

Mike is a part-time faculty member at the Denver University College of Law, teaching criminal law and criminal trial advocacy. He has been a division chief with the Denver Public Defender and a deputy state public defender. He is a director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and a member of the ethics committee of the Colorado Bar Association.

By now many of you have received a second mailing or stuff for our Reunion Yearbook. You have exactly one month before you are officially classified as a blank space. Get the stuff in or call me (508/879-0026) or do something.
