I’m attending the Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference this weekend. For a change, the meeting is west of the other Washington (DC): Las Vegas. Granted, Vegas is not my favorite city, but I feel the need to see my classmates and other friends. And if Cornell’s going to have the meeting that’s more accessible from Seattle, I’m there.
This weekend may be more surreal than usual in this town. First, the Nevada Caucus is Saturday. Second, the current occupant of the White House, in attempt to divert attention, is holding a rally in town tonight. Alas, I have a prior engagement. (And if I didn’t, I’d make one up.)
The meeting itself may be subdued, given that Cornell’s former president died three weeks ago. Frank Rhodes was installed my senior year, and served through and beyond my tenure in grad school. Even after he retired, he was a regular at Alumni Reunions and this conference.
More news to come.
