<p>“And for the alumni, do you still see the people you went to college with?”</p>
<p>Yes I do. Just saw one two weeks ago. Some of the bonds have loosened since I moved half-way across the country for a dozen years, and various of them have been various places as well. But at this moment there’s a number of them not far from me, who I have been somewhat neglecting recently but will certainly see again. Over the years we’ve made a point to get together when we happened into each other’s locations. I met up with one who came in from out of town for that last MSG hockey game, and I expect we’ll repeat this year too.</p>
<p>But when your friends are scattered all over the country it gets harder to keep in touch, and eventually the ties do wane somewhat. This applies to everyone basically, at every stage. You will notice it first when you gradually lose touch with many of your high school friends, once you are into your later college years. The same process applies to friends you make later. Nevertheless, I do keep in touch with these people.</p>
<p>"But above all did you meet your wifes or husbands at Cornell? "
I didn’t, but four guys from my social circle in my freshman dorm did.
And another is now seeing someone from that same dorm,all those years ago, this came about just three years or so ago. </p>
<p>"Where do the majority of them come from? "
Not my question, but I’ll answer anyway:
