Doerr to Lead
Alumni Relations
D
onald C. Doerr '85, G'88 has been named assistant
vice president for alumni relations at Syracuse
University, beginning February 1. "Having benefited
from a remarkable SU education and overall experience, I am honored to lead the Office of Alumni Relations," says Doerr, a graduate of the College of Arts
and Sciences and the College of Law. "We have some
of the best alums in the world, and I am excited to
develop positive relationships between our alumni
and our University. The future of SU, in many ways, is
truly dependent upon their commitment. I look forward to the opportunity of serving our University and
reaching out to as many alumni as possible."
Doerr, currently a partner in the Syracuse law firm of
McDermott, Doerr & Britt, PC, brings to the position 15
years of legal practice experience and 12 years of volunteer activity with five different SU alumni organizations. In 2 003, Doerr was named president of the SU
Alumni Association and a member of the University's
Board ofTrustees. He will leave both positions and his
law practice to assume his new job. "Don Doerr is,
indeed, a doer," Chancellor Kenneth A. Shaw says.
"He has at numerous times and in numerous ways
showed his love for his University, and he will provide
the leadership that is needed in the years ahead."
In addition to his roles on the Board ofTrustees and
with the Alumni Association, Doerr has served on the
SU College of Law Board of Visitors since 1990 and has
held leadership roles in the SU Law Alumni Association
and the SU Alumni Club of Central New York. "Don has
been a dedicated supporter of the Alumni Association
for years, generously devoting his time and rising up
to its presidency," says Board of Trustees Chair Joe
Lampe '53, G'55. "He is a perfect fit for the position,
and I am very confident in him."
Doerr resides in DeWitt, New York, with his wife,
Maria, and has two stepsons.

Beating the Winter Blues
I
n winter 1957, the City of
Syracuse was blanketed with
143 inches of snow, and the
average temperature hovered in
the low 20s. That winter, Fred
Scholl '58, G'62 and his Sigma
Nu fraternity brothers spent
weeks creating two snow penguins, which towered close to 15
feet high over the lawn of their
fraternity house. "It's a very
involved process," Scholl says.
"You have to pack the snow, ice
it, sculpt it, and mix up large
batches of food dye to color it."
According to Scholl, braving
harsh weather conditions to create the icy art was the "in" thing
to do. Along with the penguins,
larger-than-life snow sculptures
of gorillas, whales, hippos, elephants, and bears adorned the
SU campus.
The snow sculpture contest, a
student favorite among the traditions in SU's Winter Carnival,
brought members of fraternities,
sororities, and residence halls
together in the spirit of friendly
competition. "Winter Carnival
created a great sense of community both within the school and
in the surrounding neighborhoods," says Scholl, who remembers local residents driving
around the University area to
admire the snow sculptures.
SU's Winter Carnival began in
1933 as a brief celebration before
the onset of exams. Slated for
late January or early February, it
was often postponed-at times
by up to three weeks-due to
uncooperative weather. Over the
years, the carnival developed
into a four-day festival that
included such activities as the
snow sculpture contest; ice skating; sledding; and downhill,
slalom, and cross-country skiing.
In later years, a ski jump and an
obstacle course for skiers and
skaters were added.
Despite the wintry fun available outside, the carnival's highlights often occurred indoors. At
the Stockingfoot Dance, or Sock
Hop, students checked their
shoes at the door and kept warm
with a night of dancing and singa-longs. "Each year we would
get together with friends and
decorate our socks with ribbons,
felt, or markers," says Callie

Stein Katz '58, whose dancing monkey
design earned her and then-beau Alan
Katz '58 first place in a jungle-theme
sock contest in 1956.
The weekend culminated with the
Snow Ball, a formal dance featuring the
crowning of a carnival queen. Candidates for the title were nominated by
their sorority or the Independent Women's Association, and a panel of professors and administrators selected
finalists based on a personal interview.
Students then voted for the queen at the
ball. "I remember it like it was yesterday," says Sylvia Fleishman Medalie '51 ,
the 1950 carnival queen. According to
Medalie, Winter Carnival was a perfect
remedy for the "winter blues," which
often occurred during the long stretch
between the holidays and the spring
thaw. "Students need social interaction,
entertainment, and creative activity to
divest their anxieties over the weather,
their schoolwork, and exams," she says.
For more than 30 years, Winter
Carnival continued to provide fun and
merriment for students before it fell by
the wayside in 1969. The carnival reappeared briefly in the 1980s, only to fade
again-until last winter, when students,
faculty, and staff across the University
joined together to resurrect the much-
traditional events on campus for a new
missed celebration. "Winter Carnival is
a great opportunity for students to get generation." According to King, plans are
under way for Winter Carnival 2004.

country, alumni learned of Iceland's
early settlers, who formed the first
national assembly in 930 A.D. Following
visits to Skaholt, Iceland's cradle of
Christianity, and Selfoss, the center of
Iceland's dairy industry, alumni arrived
at the village of Vik, which faces the
ocean from a huge, wave-shaped gap in

legend, the rocks were formed when

"The sagas are fascinating," VanHorn
says. "It's easy to see that Icelanders are
loyal to and proud of their heritage in
the way they pass down their legends
over the years."

Information Source
If you've got questions, chances are Matthew
Koll G'79 has answers.
As founder and chairman of the board of the Wondir Foundation
(wondir.org), a nonprofit organization that provides a free online
information service to the public, Koll is dedicated to connecting
people with questions to others who can provide helpful
answers. " Even though there are a lot of search engines out
there, I believe the world still has
more to offer in terms of finding a
good, fast answer to a question,"
Koll says. "With Wondir, we've
found a way to combine the
world of search with the world of
answering questions, the kind of
thing reference librarians do so
well. Wondir's a search engine
with a uniquely human voice."
An information scientist and
entrepreneur, Koll has dedicated
more than 25 years to the
" search industry." After earning a
Ph.D. in information and library
science from the School of lnfor·
mation Studies, he co-founded
Personal Library Software, a
search company that he built into
a major technology provider for online services. The company
was acquired by America Online in 1998. "After working there for
three years, I started thinking about what I wanted to do next,"
he says. "I wanted to find something a little different in the
search area- identify a problem that the commercial industry
wasn't solving. To initiate that, I thought it was best to do it on my
own with a small team."
Koll's belief that innovation is best developed within a small
company has proven true at the Wondir Foundation, which has
made substantial progress since its founding in 2 002. When
users type a question into the site, they receive a list of profiles
from people who might be helpful in providing an answer; at the
same time, their question is streamed across the web page so
anyone visiting the site can view it and send a reply. The service
is designed to aid a variety of users of any age-just about anyone with a question. It aims to have a core set of resources from
people and organizations committed to helping others, like government and service agencies, libraries, universities, charities,
advocates, and mentors. "The enthusiastic responses we've
received are gratifying," Koll says. " I truly believe this will be a
very useful service. Helping to bring it to life is a wonderfully
rewarding experience."

Smart and Sassy
When Sheryl llewellyn-Wilkerson '91 decided to develop a line of
greeting cards, she created Sondra, a sassy African American
female character who speaks her mind and offers smart advice for
all occasions.
Take job stress, for example. One card
shows Sondra at work, dressed in a pinstriped suit, with a bubble full of shoes floating above her head. "Girl, remember what's
important," she reminds inside. Another
card offers comfort after a breakup. "So, you
finally dumped that loser," Sondra snaps.
"Let's party."
"She's a universal character," says
Llewellyn-Wilkerson, who believes Sondra
adds a fresh voice to the greeting card
industry. "She says things I think many
women want to, but are too shy or afraid to
express comfortably."
Llewellyn-Wilkerson, who earned a B.A.
degree in English from the College of Arts
and Sciences, founded Last Word Greetings
in zooo, but her journey in illustration began
in 1994 when she designed bookmarks for
the book club she was in. While pursuing a
career in advertising, she followed her
longtime interest in art and began taking
courses in children's book illustration and
greeting card design at the School of Visual
Arts in Manhattan.
44
During this time, the Brooklyn-based
artist developed characters with elements of her own personality. She wrote a children's
book about a central character named Tweeky-her
childhood nickname-and
her close circle of friends.
Sondra's character was inspired by both a close friend
and a self-portrait. "Sondra is
my alter ego," she admits.
Last fall, she incorporated
Last Word Greetings into Sheryl's
Studio, a business with three divisions. In addition to the greeting
cards, the company includes
Tweekyworld (books, animation, and products for children) and Urban Amazon (female
empowerment books and products featuring
Sondra). Although Llewellyn-Wilkerson currently works in the communications department of a nonprofit agency, she hopes to
one day devote all her time to her own creative work. Meanwhile, she is happy with
....,
-·
,,
the direction of her compa~
ny. "I have always loved to
write and draw and have
finally found a way to combine my love for both,
while bringing smiles and
laughter to people," she says.
While her goal is to prepare products for
licensing purposes in the style of Peanuts
and Garfield, Llewellyn-Wilkerson has
grander visions for her cartoon characters. "I
would be very proud to have either Sondra
or Tweeky become a popular mainstream
character and influence our culture in some
way," she says. "That would be a truly won-Lindsay Beller
derful legacy."

Influential Voice
University Trustee L. Ross Love '68 traces his long, passionate attachment to Syracuse to his childhood in the Philadelphia area, where he
followed Orange football legends Jim Brown '57 and Ernie Davis '62.
Entertaining thoughts of a
career in politics while in
high school, Love turned his
attention to the Maxwell
School. When he began to
write a column for the school
paper, he looked into opportunities at the Newhouse
School. "A great school
of the social sciences, and
a great communications
school-those were the two
largest factors in my choice
of SU," he says.
Arriving on the Hill in
1964, Love thrived amid the
turbulence of the time, writing for an underground campus weekly and then con tributing a regular column to
The Daily Orange. He was a member ofTau Delta
Phi and helped revive the dormant Omega Psi
Phi - SU's first African American fraternity. Love
is particularly proud to be a founding member of
the Student Afro-American Society (SAS) .
Despite a busy schedule, he did find time for
other things. "I proposed to my wife, Cheryl
Hardin '72, on the steps of Crouse College on a
perfect starlit night," he says.
After receiving a B.A. degree in political science, Love embarked on a remarkable career.
Recruited by Procter & Gamble, he rose to
become vice president of advertising, which at
the time was the highest position ever achieved
at the company by an African American. "At P&G,
results made the difference," he says. "Even people who didn't believe you could perform turned
around and respected you for your achievements.
I substantially built several company brands and
saw the organization change."
In 1996, Love resigned
from the company to pursue
a new interest. "When I
learned that the only FM station in Cincinnati targeted
toward the black community
was going bankrupt, I
bought it-and I fell in love
with radio," he says. "It's the
single most effective way to
communicate with local African American communities."
Love added 19 more stations
to Blue Chip Broadcasting,
before selling the company
in 2001. Today he is president and CEO of Blue Chip
Enterprises, a diversified
company, which owns several businesses.
A member of the Society of Fellows and the
Martin ). Whitman School of Management Corporate Advisory Board, Love is a major donor to
the Our Time Has Come minority scholarship fund,
and a participant and speaker at the Coming Back
Together reunions. In 1991, he was honored with
the Arents Pioneer Medal for business achievement. He is active in civic affairs in Cincinnati and
his personal philanthropy includes a gift of $1 million to the United Way.
"I experienced a period of incredible personal
growth at Syracuse, paralleling the moment in
history," he says. "We were deeply engaged in
the issues of the day- civil rights, economic
empowerment, the Vietnam War. The beauty of it
was that we were engaged not only intellectually,
but in a hands-on way: writing, organizing,
expressing our ideas, and influencing people. I
would not be the person I am today if I had not
gone through it."
