Mackie ’61, for her exceptional contributions to the field of historic textiles from Islamic lands. Louise Mackie received her bachelor of arts in art history from Wells College and with Carol Gaines Ruckle ’61 after graduation enjoyed visiting her Wells professor, Hannelore Glasser, in Florence, Italy, during two enlightening years of traveling, studying and working in Europe and the Middle East. That led to secretarial work in the Islamic Art Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York which inspired studying Islamic art history with Professor Richard Ettinghausen for a master of arts at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts, integrated with stimulating graduate studies at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. She recently retired as curator of textiles and Islamic art at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. During her impressive curatorial career of 45 years, Mackie held positions at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., and taught at the University of Toronto. She was a founding director (in 1987) and past president of the Textile Society of America, which is thriving with over 800 WCA AWA R D members; sat on the Advisory Committee of The Textile Museum; and served on the Conseil de Direction of the Centre International d’Etude des Textiles Anciens (CIETA) CEREMONY INVITATION in Lyon, France.

  • Pinotfile Vol 5, Issue 35
    If You Drink No Noir, You Pinot Noir PinotFile Volume 5, Issue 35 The First Wine Newsletter Devoted to Pinotaficionados May 15, 2006 Finger Lakes Wines - Start Spreading the News Last week I was browsing the magazine racks at the airport, waiting for my flight to New York. I planned to attend a wedding in the Big Apple and then head northeast to the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The only recent press I had seen on the Finger Lakes was a short article in the May, 2006 issue of Gourmet. Surpris- ingly, I came upon the latest issue of the Wine Spectator featuring New York wine country. I eagerly turned to the section on the Finger Lakes region, but only found a single sentence on Pinot Noir at the end of the article which read, “The jury is out on Pinot Noir; some winemakers love the challenge it poses in a tricky climate and have had decent results, while others say it’s too much of a pain to grow.” Didn’t we hear this same refrain about the heartbreak grape in California and Oregon 30 years ago? The best fit and the signature wine of the Finger Lakes region is Riesling. As good as the Rieslings are (easily comparable in quality to ones from Germany), it is only recently that this wine has gained interest among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts countrywide. This is partly due to the post-Prohibition heritage of the region’s wine industry which was dominated by two family wine dynasties, the Taylors of Keuka Lake and the Widmars of Canandaigue Lake.

Box 4821 Editor: Sandra Stone www.campusclub.cornell.edu Ithaca, NY 14852 President’s Message HAPPY New Year to All! A new year begins, one that has brought us new friendships and cemented the old. In this ever changing world we live in, one truth remains constant: our membership in the Campus Club continues to offer us friendship, group activities, social events and stimulating lectures. Our membership continues to remain solid with retention of members as well as the addition of newer, younger members. Members are always up to the challenge to form new groups and wholeheartedly support the existing ones. We now have twenty-two activity groups with competent group leaders, various meeting schedules and a variety of interests. The success of our Fall Coffee reflects our members’ eagerness to see what new offerings are available and to sign up for their old favorites. The success of Campus Club is due in a large part to our dedicated Board. Board members serve a two-year commitment: one year as an assistant to the chair and the second year as chair with an assistant. We presently have seventeen Board positions and each year we look for the nomination of new officers to be presented to our members at the Spring Luncheon for approval. If interested and available to serve on our Board or to get more information on responsibilities, please contact Chair Nancy Ridenour. Thanks to the Board members for all they do for this club.
