Why not both?  Both Mom ('62) and Aunt Maddy ('60) are highly qualified.  :-D

Jeffrey Lehman, currently Dean of the University of Michigan's Law School, will be Cornell's 11th President.

Lehman is Cornell '77.  He has to have some good memories of Cornell hockey, right?  Perhaps bring a fan's vision back to the administration of the program?  I think someone should drop him a note about HockeyCam right away. . .

I was invited to the lunch today where Jeffrey Lehman '77 was officially announced as the 11th President of Cornell.  (One of the perks of being Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.)

 At the end of the lunch, current President Rawlings remarked that in addition to all the academic and research greatness of Cornell that was talked about by Jeff in his remarks, Cornell is currently ranked #4 in NCAA Division 1 mens hockey and will have the opportunity to improve that ranking against #2 Maine.  

 He also mentioned that Jeff's son (a CU freshman) had asked that now that his father was President of Cornell, could he get hockey tickets.  He then had Coach Schafer along with Matt and Mark McRrae come up and present Jeff with a pair of CU hockey tickets along with a Cornell hockey puck!!  I think we have a couple of new members of the Lynah Faithful!

Streaming video of the remarks from the lunch should be up on the web by 6:00 or so Saturday. (Free of charge.)

Anyone know if he's from the Lehman Brothers family--Arthur and Herbert?

Yeah... for now... we'll see once everyone else is about to move to charging for them... ::rolleyes::

Thanks for all of your hard work on the Search Committee, Pat.  Nice job on finding a hockey fan.  :-))

It's not so off topic. The news that Rawlings was to step down broke while we were in Lake Placid. I actually posted the "breaking news" bulletin in 14850 Today from the press room at the 1980 Olympic Arena.

A bit better facilities at my disposal to post today's piece.
