Heads up notice -the annual Cornell ATO Alumni Mid Winter banquet is coming back to New York City this year - Mark the date of Saturday night February 22, 2020 - location to follow.

We are encouraging other regional groups of Brothers to organize their own mid winter banquets - Chicago is one this winter for sure. 6-8 people makes a worthwhile evening.

Jeff Serfass passed along the sad news that Denny Hubel, '69 passed away on September 16, 2019. Denny was a distinguished US Magistrate judge for many years in Oregon and Cornell ROTC/Engineering grad. Despite his many medical complications at the time, Denny and his wife made the cross-country trip to Ithaca this past June for the Class of 69 reunion and house visit. The strength of fraternal brotherhood and friendships is strong, and RIP Denny.
