Alex and his wife Margie live in Cortlandt Manor, near New York. They have three daughters – Nina Gwen, Jennifer Lee and Amy Louise – and six grandchildren. Adrian (Lefty) Corneliess was vice president and associate controller for Equitable Life until his retirement in 1990. He and his wife, Gloria, now split their time between Palm City, Fla. and Clifton, N.J. They had three children, daughter Gale, son Kevin and son Glenn (deceased 1/96). They are currently and hopefully holding at nine grandchildren, six girls and three boys. While at ’Berg, Lefty was a member of the “M” Club, ATO social fraternity and president of the Economics Club his final year. He also played four years of varsity baseball and four years of intramural basketball and football. In baseball he hit home runs over the fence; after college, he switched to tennis and today, he hits tennis balls over the net (still with his left hand). Lefty played in club tournaments and, during his tenure at Equitable Life, he worked with the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament for several years. In July 2002, Lefty had a successful quadruple bypass. Although it limited his time on the courts, he is now chairman of the tennis program at his condo association and still teaches the game. Fariborz S.

After graduation, Fariborz earned a master’s degree at Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and a master’s degree and doctorate in public administration at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. He served as assistant professor of government at Wayne State University for six years before leaving to enter public service. During his distinguished career, Fariborz worked on Sen. Robert Kennedy’s campaign for president, was assistant to the governor of New Jersey for six years and then left to work in the Congress of the United States. Fariborz now lives in McLean, Va., with his wife, Nancy, and son Hussein-Jon.

Tommy Coughlin sends this note for his classmates:
As freshman we lived in West Hall
The last all male class you recall
Would we ever go co-ed
Impossible we all said
But we were proved wrong after all
Remember our 50th reunion – May 2006
