From 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - Shortly after graduation, I spent 2 years as a communications officer in the USAF Security Service, based in Ashiya, Japan.  Upon discharge in 1954, I went on to obtain graduate degrees at Lehigh and the University of Illinois,  Two of my 3 children were born in Champaign / Urbana.  In 1960, 1 took a job in battery research at Union Carbide Consumer Products in Parma, OH.  Our 3rd child came 2 years later.  I worked on many different battery systems in my 37-year career with UCCP, later known as Eveready Battery Co.  I produced a dozen or so patents, including the main one relative to the first commercially-produced mercury-free alkaline battery.  I also authored several papers and 2 reference-book chapters on electrochemistry topics.  Retiring in 1997, I continue to work as a consultant.

My 3 children are scattered near and far. Daughter Lynn, living in New Jersey, is a soccer mom to 3 boys.  Daughter Gail is a school teacher in western Ohio, with 2 girls and a boy.  My son Jim, a computer systems manager for Timken with a daughter and son, lives the closest, in Akron, OH.

In addition to my career in science and my children and grandchildren, my greatest interests have been as a member of the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus for 35 years, as director of a dozen choral groups of different types, extensive travel in the U.S. and abroad and a lot of cross-country bicycling, traveling border to border in Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio and Vermont

 Ernest Mayo Snyder (No Photo)
Circa 2016

From Summer 2017 Alumni Bulletin:  Betsey and Mayo Snyder were one of Daz and my favorite '52 couples.  Always fun, upbeat and full of life.  When I heard of Mayo's passing, I wrote to Betsey and she responded in kind.  We commiserated.   Mayo's life was full—he loved Lehigh, sailing, service in the Navy and hockey.  His specialty, when working, was city planning.  One of the highlights of his career was that, as a consultant to the government of Brazil, he helped in the selection of a site for the new capital, what would become Brasilia.

Mayo had advanced degrees from the University of Illinois and MIT.  Mayo was one of the truly "neat guys”  and will be missed.  RIP, Mayo.


Pat Moran (deceased), wrote: It came as shock to see Mayo's name in the Spring Bulletin - I have no other information:  "We have lost some great classmates in 2016: Bob McCann, Chuck Adams, Jack Moran (deceased)  and Mayo Snyder (I will do a complete report on Mayo in my next edition).  My sincere condolences to all the families." - April 2017


Bob Hoyt spent some time with Betsey and Mayo at their home overlooking the lake in Cooperstown, N.Y.  Mayo and Bob grew up together in Plainfield, N.J.   Circa June 2015


 Bob Hoyt spent some time with Betsey and Mayo at their home overlooking the lake in Cooperstown, NY.  Mayo and Bob grew up together in Plainfield, NJ.  - Fall 2014


 From Spring2014 Alumni Bulletin:  Another of my favorite '52ers, E Mayo Snyder, of Cooperstown, N.Y., has managed to grow "olde”gracefully along with wife, Betsey.  Their Christ­mas letter is a treasure.  In it, Mayo hoped that my citizenship papers were in order, in light of Arizona Governor Brewer's interest in these matters.  Mayo went on to take issue with an eastern Pennsylvania promoter who characterized Lehigh as "the Harvard of the Lehigh Valley.”  What a come down, says Mayo.  Lehigh has many attributes that Harvard cannot match.  In his letter, Mayo touched on the future of Lehigh's fraternity system, how Cooperstown's opera house complements the overwhelm­ing popularity of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and some golf tidbits.  He ended his letter by saying that glaucoma and dia­betes have pretty much ended plans for the Grand Tour.  The New York Times travel section is as close as they get.  Good luck you two, and thanks for a great letter.


  Summer 2011 Bulletin - Pat Moran (deceased) received a photo card from Betsey and Mayo Snyder, who year after year just seem to defy age.  Is it the water in Cooperstown?


Spring 2009 Bulletin - My favorite Christmas correspondents came through once again. Betsey and Mayo Snyder sent their wonderful, as always, photo card showing two very happy 'seasoned citizens' with a background of the Adirondacks in autumn.  The Snyders plan to see Dotsie and Pete Shaw (deceased) in May after Betsey's 50th reunion at Brown.


 Inauguration 2007 Class Column:  Betsey and Mayo Snyder sent their annual classy picture card and revealed that Mayo is "tripping the light fantastic" with two new knees. 


Spring 2006 - Sent Pat Moran (deceased) a very nice Christmas card.  They took a Lehigh trip to Sicily.


Summer 2003: Betsey and Mayo Snyder 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."


June 3rd, 2002 -Thanks for the '52 class website.  However, looking at the Mayo Snyder bio - that is another person in the undergraduate picture and Mayo's name is Ernest Mayo Snyder, not Martin Luther Snyder.  His father was Martin Edgar Snyder.  See you at the reunion.   Betsey and Mayo Snyder

Webmaster: Oops.  I didn't realize there were 3 Snyders in our class.  Sorry about that


SnyderFrom 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - My Dad was in the Class of 1925, probably causing me to follow.  Degrees: Syracuse University, BA; University of Illinois, MA; MIT, Masters in City Planning.

After the Navy and graduate schools, I worked with various architectural and engineering firms.  Some projects were selecting the site for Brasilia, a program for Wild Rivers and environmental protection for Woodbridge, NJ.  Eventually, I served as planning director for a Connecticut town and 2 different counties in New York state.

In Skaneateles, NY, I started a youth hockey program.  This sparked the building of an artificial ice arena.  An outcome of the arena was my son becoming a gold medalist in ice dancing.  Several other kids who started skating in this arena have been successful Olympians in hockey and figure skating.

It was interesting serving on the Board of Directors of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad.  Double stack transcontinental freight trains have their origin and destination in the Susquehanna's New Jersey yard.

Betsey and I have a family including a son and 2 daughters.  The daughters each have a boy and a girl.  We have been married for 41 years.  We now live in Cooperstown.  We like the community as it offers many diversions besides baseball.

As time has gone by, I have come to realize that what I learned in my 5 semesters at Lehigh was crucial in making it possible for us to have the good life we have had.


Summer, 2001 - The best card, year in and year out, comes from Betsey and Mayo Snyder always a picture card, of their happy faces from somewhere in the world - this year from Ellis Island.  Thanks; you guys look great!


Fall, 2000: Mayo and Betsey Snyder, who send the best photo Christmas cards, sent one showing them with their grandkids, Michael and Grace, having a meal with a fully costumed pirate, complete with eye patch and sword.

 Arthur Straussberg
May 2, 2015

Arthur Straussberg '52, West Orange, N.J., May 2, 2015.  Mr. Straussberg served as a captain in the U.S.  Air Force.  He worked as a dentist and dental practice management consultant, and as an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania


From Spring 2014 Alumni Bulletin:  Art Straussberg says that a university survey listing him as "LOST” greatly exaggerates, and that he is alive and well and living in New Jersey.  Art studied two years at Lehigh, went on to dental school at University of Pennsylvania, and graduated dental school in 1954.  Let's hope that Art drops us a line and tells us all what he has been up to for the last 60 years.
