Summer 2003 Column

Pat Moran (now deceased):

Lehigh Class of 1952:

We sincerely regret a typographical error in the spring Alumni Bulletin '52 class column: the amount reported for the '52 Class Reunion Gift should have read "more than $9.5 million" rather than $1.5 million. Pat Moran (deceased) reported the figure correctly.  We extend our deepest apologies to the Class of '52.

Lehigh University Alumni Association

Hi '52ers!  I received a number of Christmas '02 messages that I want to share with you.  Evelyn and Allen Levan, of Edison, NJ., continue to do good work for their church and local hospital.  They mentioned a nice trip to Virginia and North Carolina to visit friends and relatives.

Gail and Gene Howie (deceased), Darien, Conn., had a great time at our 50th Reunion and thanked the committee and officers for their efforts.

Betsey and Mayo Snyder (deceased) sent a great photo of their youngest grandchildren and mentioned that they had moved from Homer, N.Y, to Cooperstown, N.Y., and are enjoying "the village life."

Barbara and Frank Sgambelluri (deceased) write from Stroudsburg, Pa., that they are well and are counting their blessings in 2003.  Class Vice President Ralph Fortney sent a long, cheery note saying that Ed Leidheiser (deceased)  and his new bride, Mary-Lu, had stopped by his Delaware home.  They looked great and are very happy after a Thanksgiving wedding aboard a cruise ship with both their families in attendance.  Ralph also mentioned attending a Lehigh Alumni meeting at the South Carolina Yacht Club (Hilton Head) and chatting with Bob Homing and Charlie Paules (deceased), who are residents in the area.  Ralph went on to say that the Class Of '52 Scholarship has gone once again to Christopher D. Bromley '02, Of Mystic, Conn., and attached a copy of Chris' thank-you letter.  Chris sounds like a remarkable young man who treasures the opportunity our class scholarship has provided.  He has completed his bachelor's in physics and plans to pursue a doctorate.  His credits include Dean's List, Psi Upsilon social fraternity, Kids' Fest, and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society.  I, for one, feel very elated that the class can and does help young people such as Chris.

My "assistant" class correspondent, Mary Jo Johnston, sent a list of their most recent travels.  She and Jim never sit still!  They traveled to Phoenix, Bisbee, and Tucson, Ariz., Lake Tahoe, Calif, Sharon, Pa., Ocean City, Md., and enjoyed a Beta get-together cruise to the Caribbean.  A photo taken on the cruise shows a happy bunch including "Doc" Adams (deceased), Bill Barney (deceased), Fred Kieshauer (deceased), Jim Johnston (deceased) and Bob Ellis (deceased) - a truly good-looking group of "seasoned" citizens.

I would like to tip my (golf) hat to my wife, Daz.  She has operated a successful massage therapy business for 10 years.  Recently, she designed and had constructed a water massage spa on our property.  She designed the pool, the hot tub, and the landscaping.  She also put in a beautiful kiva (Indian fireplace) and a complete outdoor kitchen.  This is a gem of a healing center.  Kudos to Daz.

Wil Wilbern (deceased) , one of the really good guys in our class, called me in March telling me that he had a slight stroke, and that his left arm and hand were improving with therapy.  Wil would like to hear from his pals at (757) 833-1128, or write c/o Crestwood Health Care Center, 2600 Niagara Falls Blvd., Niagara Falls, NY 14304.
