BiographyI retired over 10 years ago from teaching Electrical Engineering at Cornell, and we moved to Maine. We now live in the 1835 house in Oxford, Maine my grandmother Kate inherited from her friend Mary Isabel Corning of Hartford, CT ( the Isabel in my mother's name). I spent summers here as a child, since my parents used the house every summer after 1939. No one had lived here in the winter since 1860, but we remodeled the back to provide a sort of apartment to hunker down in during the winter. My Cornell email address is a perk of having retired from there.
