Ithaca Journal Articles and Memorial Service Program

From Neil Blumberg


In February of 2003 Neil Blumberg sent me this message and six images. The images are below. Can anyone help in identifying some of the people?

Dear Bob,

Attached are some materials related to the first year of the program as jpgs. I apologize for my inexpert scanning but a couple of them exceed 200 Kb. They were finalized in Photoshop so if you have that application perhaps you can get them smaller.

The files consist of four newspaper articles that ran in the Ithaca Journal the first summer of the program, and the cover and content of the memorial service program for the victims of the Res Club Fire. Hopefully you'll be able to open them and post them. I suspect they would be of interest to anyone with an interest in the program, but let me know if you think otherwise.

In the article from 7/13/66 the identities of those in the photo, going counter-clockwise from Professor Morris are Barry Weller (Cornell senior resident assistant, now a faculty member in Utah), Mary Ann Haagen (Cornell senior resident assistant), Margie Ferguson, Matthew Clarke, Joe Savago, David Skidmore, Unknown (can't tell who this), Larry Parker, Isabel Einstein, unknown (can't tell who this is). Perhaps those who took this seminar can identify the two unknowns.

Regards, Neil --
