A beautiful Spring day in Atlanta to write our class column  Our next on campus reunion is two years away but the first messages are emerging.  One, we have two outstanding reunion chairs in Rosanna Frank and Pat Richards. Second, we will be staying at the Statler Hotel, finally.  I will leave further communications in the hands of our reunion chairs.  Our mailbag of Class Notes is nearly exhausted.  Don’t forget to send us your news.

Ruth Bohrer Bramsom sent an informative update. “Having retired as CEO of the Girl Scouts, my husband, Shelly, and I have been spending a great deal of time at our home in Ogunquit Maine. I spent a difficult year fighting lung cancer at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and just got word that my scan shows no evidence of disease. So I am happy to report that I am now a healthy wife, mother, and grandmother I have nine grandchildren and all of my children are pursuing exciting professional careers, my fondest memories of Cornell are living in my sorority house Delta Tau and cruising the quarters in the freezing weather.

After more than a few years we heard from Mike Hoffman, coxswain on our great varsity crew. “ Hello All.... Haven't contributed in a while, but at Susan and Doug's invite, here's some Hoffman trivia: Still living in Minneapolis (Minnetonka, officially); I have four sons ranging in age from 57 to 30. Beth is a medical safety director at Medtronic, and I continue to run my "business coaching" practice with independent contractors and small business professionals. Periodically remain in touch with my crew gang and ZBT bro's: Lory Aaron, Nat Weisler, Wally Buch, Joel Rosenberg, Donny Spero and Larry Bortles. Life is good... keeping our Peloton busy, some traveling to our boys and family, and teaching in the marketing department of the business school for a small university in St. Paul. Imagine... back in a classroom after 'vowing' I'd never be back in one after graduation. And so it goes. I continue to treasure my time on the hill and the wonderful, important, and enduring friendships I was lucky enough to make. Wishing all of us continued health and staying 'sharp' !! Cheers.... Mike.

On a personal note, Sue and I have been seven months in our new independent living community in Atlanta. We are at the end of the beginning but no further.  The move has turned out to be more monumental than anticipated.  The physical move itself was daunting but then we needed to adjust to a new lifestyle, a new city, and traffic!  Happily the hard part is behind us and we now see our daughter and granddaughters regularly.

Finally, remember Susan and Doug.  Please keep your news flowing and send in lots of class notes.  Your classmates want to hear from you. ❖ Doug Fuss (email Doug); and Susan Williams Stevens (email Susan)
