By the time they departed Cornell, Steve Donahue’s coaching staff had become particularly adept at identifying, evaluating and recruiting transfer talent to Cornell. The staff’s final transfer, 6-foot-2 junior guard Andrew Ferry, is expected to help define the success levels of Bill Courtney’s first two years as new coach.
CUW Helps “Feed My Starving Children”
A few weeks ago Andrew and his Cornell teammates helped with a “Feed My Starving Children” event in Ithaca at Trinity Lutheran Church (where my seminary classmate and basketball teammate, Rob Foote, is pastor). This weekend was Concordia’s turn to help provide nutritional meals for hungry people around the world. The event was an amazing success. We hosted 1,363 volunteers who filled 1,516 boxes. That translates to 327,456 meals already on the way to children who need the food. Now those are some nice stats! See the Fox News story here.

Trip to Ithaca
Back to school! Concordia doesn’t resume classes until next Monday. The rest of the family gets going today. Stephen’s first day of his senior year at Milwaukee Lutheran coincides with his sister Hannah’s first day as an English and Spanish teacher at the same school. I wonder if he’ll remember to call her Mrs. Meineke? The college kids also start classes today.
Cornell Announced New Incoming Class
The Cornell University Athletic Department announced the incoming class for next year’s basketball team. Check out the story here.
Meanwhile Andrew is with his Athletes in Action team in China. It is hard to follow his progress considering we are traveling in Germany and Switzerland. We will have some stories to tell when we get home!

An update from Andrew…Cornell!
I’ll let Andrew speak for himself this time. Here is what he has to say, “After much consideration, thought, and prayer, I have made my decision to attend Cornell University. I believe Cornell is the perfect place to pursue my basketball goals as well as receive a high quality education. I am looking forward to getting started and getting back into the NCAA Tournament next year! Thanks for all the support and prayers!”
So, it is official, Andrew has decided to attend Cornell University next year. The links below are from the website and blog that covers Cornell basketball (and they do so very thoroughly! You will be able to follow Cornell as they defend their Ivy League championship and make their way back to the NCAA tournament once again. Badgers fans beware!).
