Cornell-Harvard TV event + ballpark tour in Philadelphia (pictures)

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Obviously, we (and the Phillies) were mortified that we couldn't pick up the satellite signal in the Diamond Club last night. They had been receiving the signal all day until that afternoon.

A thousand apologies to everyone for that. Thank you for your patience (and a big thanks to Bill Casswell '89 for bringing the Laptop that Saved the Universe).

CACO will be returning to Philly for another two years, so we hope to see you all again.

Here's to the Welcome to Philly co-chairs:

Marcia Epstein '64
Jeff Estabrook '80
Mary Kahn '79

Nicely done, y'all.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I'll also put in my thanks to the team that put together this event.  And to the other members of the faithful who made this a fun time, despite the loss of TV coverage.  Nice to put some faces on the names.  BTW, there were several people receiving text messages during the game, as well as Bill C's laptop.  

And Hillel, don't agonize over force majeure.  It happens.  It just better not happen again next year ;-)

Almost $7,000 was raised for the Cornell Club of Greater Philadelphia's scholarship fund. Thank you.
