Cornell has a very good ag school. Ruth

Despite the main industry being education it is very much a factory town,

miss the music scene.
It was not until I left the area that it occured to me that I could be a
legitimate person.

Beautifully said, Ken. The version I tell friends here is that
"Cornell was my childhood playground, and I never appreciated how special
that was until leaving the place at age 21 and finding out, to my great
disappointment, that not every town had one."
My reason or leaving was that I wanted to be a pioneer and it seemed that
everything there had already been done, but that was more about
conservative Republican community lifestyle than the Big Red C.
