Share any random or surprising encounters with Cornell or Cornellians since you left.
I have met many classmates, unknown to me as an undergrad, as a volunteer for CU 1980.  I might not have graduated had I known them then.

Tell us about the most interesting things you’ve done since 1980.
Performed dixieland jazz at the Chinese Festival of the Arts in Taiwan. There were many stares and smiles.

What advice would you give to a member of the Class of 2018?
If you find yourself in a situation not knowing whether to laugh or cry, laugh.
