I have visited annually since our daughter matriculated in '07. Last summer's visit was to help plan Reunion. That was a blast!
Which piece of information or advice did you pick up while a student at Cornell that has been useful in the past 35 years?
My professor advised me I would have students smarter than I so I would need to become a resource person! I have earned that reputation!
Tell us about the most interesting things you’ve done since 1980.
I earned my 200 hour Yoga certification. I love helping people keep their body, mind and soul healthy!
What are you looking forward to at our 35th reunion in June, 2015?
