Awesome evening :)

[skreidle]

Cornell's Gamma Chapter of APO turns 75 this month, and the birthday celebration was tonight.. catered dinner in Trillium, speeches by Jack McKenzie (nat'l prez), three alumni from the late 60s/early 70s, and the Keynote speaker, Bob Babcock--advisor, mentor, and friend to the chapter and everyone in it for the last 17 years.. he got a standing ovation after his speech, a shirt signed by every Gamma present, and a plaque.. he's leaving his advisorial position soon. :( (However, he won't be going far.. he just wants more unscheduled time, more time to run, like marathons all over the world--and he's 75 himself! :)
Then there was music and dancing, and I finished off the evening watching Simpsons episodes on the DJ's computer with some current Gammas, alums, and Jack McKenzie. *grin*

And now, off to join Tony's birthday party, already in progress. :)
