Alumni Feted at Jay Dinner
A photo essay by Eileen Barroso
More than 600 members of the Columbia family filled the Grand Ballroom
of the Plaza Hotel on March 5 to honor five of their own - alumni
who have distinguished themselves in the fields of advertising,
law, medicine and music - at the annual John Jay Awards Dinner.
Orthopaedic surgeon David W. Altchek '78, composer John Corigliano
'59, U.S. District Court judge Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. '78, lawyer
Mark E. Lehman '73 and retired advertising executive (and president
emeritus of the CC Alumni Association) Gerald Sherwin '55 were celebrated
for their professional achievements at the dinner, the proceeds
of which support the John Jay National Scholarship Program at the
College.

Gerald Sherwin ’55
is congratulated by President Lee Bollinger as Dean Austin
Quigley looks on. Bollinger drew a laugh when he told how
Sherwin was described to him as “that guy who’s
always there,” a reference to Sherwin’s omnipresence
at College events. |

Alumni, faculty, students and administrators were part of the crowd
that enjoyed the festivities and filled the ornate Grand Ballroom
at the Plaza. Two of the honorees were members of the Class of 1978:
Dr. David W. Altchek, with family, and Judge Joseph A. Greenaway
Jr., with family.
