David Lipsky (db14@cornell.edu) never really left Cornell. “In January 2019 I retired after spending 50 years on the Cornell faculty. (I joined the faculty in 1969.) For many years I served as the Anne Evans Estabrook Professor of Dispute and Resolution in the ILR School.

Married to Alexandra for 57 years. Were high school sweethearts in Bethlehem, PA. A librarian, she retired from the Cornell library system.

“I continue to do research; recently I received a grant from the National Academy of Arbitrators to study dispute resolution practices in Fortune 1000 corporations. I also maintain a practice as an arbitrator. Most especially I enjoy spending time with my wife. The first person I met at Cornell was Bob Zelnick ILR ‘61 who went on to receive a JD from the University of Virginia and then turned to journalism serving for many years as a TV correspondent of ABC news…now a professor of broadcast journalism at Boston University.

Heard from Bill Onorato (wtonorato@aol.com) who writes “I have been named an Honorary Fellow of the Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mining Law and Policy (CEPMLP) of the University of Dundee in Scotland. It’s the premier such institute in Europe. I go there a few times a year to both lecture and to help supervise graduate students doing their LLMs and Ph.Ds.” Bill sends a picture of him in Dundee. “Also this last October I completed a portion of the Camino de Santiago to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain with some old hiking friends.”

Finally, many of our classmates have sadly lost their spouses, but are carrying on with family being most important in their lives.
