Spring and early summer brought awards to classmates. In May, Trudy Serby Gildea, our class treasurer, received the National Jefferson Award for Public Service. As reported in the Columbus (MS) Commercial Dispatch, Trudy was cited for her founding and work with the Suzuki Strings program, the Columbus- Lowndes Public Library, and as vice president of the Columbus Historic Foundation. The executive director of the foundation said, "She has done more for children and adults in the arts in this area than anyone." In June,Marshall Lindheimer received the Lifetime of Service Award from the Medical Advisory Board of the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois. The award citation said Marshall's career has been dedicated to the care of pregnant women with medical complications, especially hypertension and renal disease, and cited his several hundred published basic and clinical studies concerning renal function, blood pressure control, volume and water homeostasis, and microvascular function in normal and abnormal gestation.Marshall also holds the Chesley Award for research in hypertension in pregnancy and is among the fewer than 100 Americans named ad eundems of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (London) since the society's inception.

An e-mail from Dori CrozierWarren reports that she and Terry are now dividing their time between Austinburg, OH, and Tucson, AZ, where, in April, they attended a Southeast Arizona Cornell Club function with George, MBA '56, and Gayle Raymond Kennedy. Terry and daughter Karen Schneider were to join CAU's May/June trip toMorocco and Spain. Dori is restudying the experiences of fellow Punahou School classmates during the post-Pearl Harbor Japanese, Italian, and German internments in Hawaii. Terry's Ohio State Bar Foundation class is working on aid to Somalian Ohio residents. I do have first person news from George and Gayle Kennedy, who now live in Green Valley, AZ. George writes, "Gayle and I moved to Green Valley in June '04 to escape the ice, snow, and school taxes of Ithaca.We miss Cayuga Lake, Cornell, and our Ithaca friends, but now overlook a golf course and the Santa Rita Mountains. Gayle has joined a book club and travel group. I have been elected to our homeowners association board and am active on the tennis courts three mornings a week. Come visit when winter gets you down."

Frederic Rubinstein, LLB '55, New York City, still has a day job as a partner at Kelley Drye & Warren. As of his news form, stamped February 2006, his after-hours activity was advising Denise O'Donnell, former US Attorney for the Western District of New York, in her campaign for attorney general. He was traveling between Manhattan and his home in Jupiter, FL, and planning a January trip to Brussels and Paris. Edward Wilkens, East Brunswick, NJ, reports: No change. He's still working for the US Food and Drug Administration. CatherineMcDonald Hegeman, Mt. Laurel, NJ, volunteers as chair of the Social Concerns Ministry at her Catholic Church. She takes great advantage of Philadelphia and its opera, orchestra, theater, and museums. She recently attended a short course on the history, ecology, wildlife, and management of the New Jersey Pinelands, and followed that up with the Philadelphia Flower Show. Catherine came to our February class dinner and Council meeting during Mid-Winter Meeting. More of you should do that. A short note from Elaine Shannon Zimmer says that she and William '51 are still in Schenectady.

Eli Manchester Jr., Cohasset, MA, is still working four or five days a month at Kewaunee Scientific Corp., where he chairs the board. He and Anne took two Cornell trips in the summer of '05. The first, "France, Spain, and Portugal," and the second to the Italian Lake District. "They are great,"writes he. Dick Aitken, Bethesda,MD, retired from the Venable Law Firm in 2004. Now he plays golf, travels, and gardens.Howard Maisel, New York, NY, is retired.He and wife Eve France take many courses at the New School and NYU.

Retired, he spends time with tennis, swimming, theater, travel, and model-building. The Suttons were about to take a tour of Poland when he wrote. Asked what he'd rather be doing, he, as did Howard Maisel, said, just what he's doing now.

C.V. Noyes, MBA '55,Harpswell, ME, writes that his present day job is president of a fire/rescue company, volunteer ambulance driver, and chauffeur for Betsy (Sachs) '54. After hours, he skis and sails. Recently, he has been "wondering why I receive these weird books, no doubt at class expense. Please desist."Actually we have. No book for this year at least. Frank and Mary Rowley Forthoffer,Middletown, NY, are both retired, Frank from retail management and Mary from teaching. Frank is now into HO model railroading and Mary swims competitively. They both volunteer for Meals on Wheels and Frank is a sub-driver for a "handi-van," which takes people, presumably elderly, to doctors appointments and so forth.
