Which piece of information or advice did you pick up while a student at Cornell that has been useful in the past 35 years?.
Don't rely on Codes, You must always be able to justify the solution using first principles.

Which piece of advice or information turned out to be completely WRONG?
I would not need to learn to type because I would have a secretary.

Do you have a favorite memory from a Class of 1980 reunion?
Meeting with one of my professors (He remembered me!). Asked me if I was still a practicing engineer. Proud to tell him I was.

What are you looking forward to at our 35th reunion in June, 2015?
Just being on campus and pretending 35 years had not gone by.
