Good afternoon, As some of you may not be aware, a search is still underway for Chris Dennis, a Cornell University class of 2013 student, who went missing on Wednesday. Chris was last seen early Wednesday morning by fellow campers after he headed out onto Cayuga Lake by canoe. Later, his canoe was discovered capsized near the middle of Cayuga Lake. Chris Dennis is son of birder John V. Dennis, Jr., and grandson of John V. Dennis (one of the last persons to photograph an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Cuba).
After speaking with coordinators they still need volunteers to help walk remote sections of both the West and the East shores of Cayuga Lake.
