Best wishes for a speedy recovery Jim! As I told your daughter, Jim Hanchett IS Cornell! You embody all that it means to be a true Cornellian--devoted and generous in every sense! Sending a Big Red hug and hope to talk to you soon!

Things on “The Hill”, especially in the CFA Board Room just haven’t been the same without you Jim! Your smile, your wonderful knowledge of Big Red Football history, and your thoughtful ideas are all greatly missed. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to tailgating with you again soon!

With love and well wishes,
Heather (and the kids too!)

When I learned you were in Michigan during the football season, it brings back memories of the game you often wrote about. 1951 when mighty Michigan lost to Cornell. The Cornell team leaders were mostly from the Class of '53. As I look at the letters being sent, you will have the biggest response probably ever for the next Alumni News class report. It is so important to have a quick recovery for the next Class '53 report & to continue the consecutive Reunion attendance record. My prayers are with you.

Best, Dan
p.s. I noticed your picture above with Richie Moran -- did he push you down the steps????
