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 |
Randy Zehner
(deceased)
sent
this
communiqué:
"Congratulations
everyone!
We
set a
record
attendance
of
122
returning
alumni
(at
our
50th)
of
which
118
of
411
classmates
(29
percent)
attended
the
parade.
More
than
9.5
million
dollars
was
presented
to
the
university
as a
result
of
contributions
over
the
last
five
years.
This
is a
marvelous
accomplishment."
These
are
the
revised
final
figures.
Bob
Hoyt
writes
that
while
on a
Nantucket
vacation,
he
visited
with
Pete Shaw
(deceased),
and
also
spent
some
time
with
Bruce Hill
(deceased)
and
John
Seville
hiking
in
the
Laurel
Mountains
near
Pittsburgh.
Don
Liddie
sent
a
wonderful
letter
extolling
our
reunion
and
looking
forward
to
our
55'
in
2007.
Prior
to
coming
East
from
San
Francisco,
Don
stated
that
he
"would
miss
sleeping
in
the
outside
dorm
at
the
Kappa
Sig
House,
the
wail
of
the
Steelswitch
at
the
Kappa
Sig
House,
the
wail
of
the
Steelswitching
engines
at
night,
the
roar
of
the
blast
furnaces,
the
coat
of
dust
on my
desk
in
the
morning,
imbibing
at
the
Beethoven
Maennerchor
and
many
other
fond
remembrances."
Don
loves
California
but
realizes
that
being
a
continent
away
from
Lehigh
and
friends
is a
drawback.
California
has
become
an
important
recruiting
center
for
the
university;
50 of
last
year's
freshman
class
were
from
the
Golden
State.
I
have
long
thought
that
the
Southwest
and
California
were
fertile
areas
for
Lehigh.
Many
bright
kids
from
Southern
Arizona
go
East
to
college
every
year.
Why
not
channel
some
of
these
young
people
to
Bethlehem?
I
mentioned
this
to
Chris
Marshall
'88,
executive
director
of
the
Alumni
Association,
and
he
said,
"Great
idea:
you
are
now
vice
president
/
Lehigh
University
Alumni
Association
in
charge
of
Region
IX
Southwest."
So,
that's
my
mission
- to
recruit
and
build
up
the
Lehigh
Club
of
Southern
Arizona
to
the
point
where
President
Farrington
makes
regular
stops
here
in
Tucson!
In a
lighter
vein,
a
wonderful
romantic
story
comes
my
way
from
Ed Leidheiser (deceased) and
Mary-Lou
Rude.
It
seems
that
Ed
and
Mary-Lou
were
high
school
sweethearts
in
Bogota,
NJ.,
in
1948.
They
went
on to
different
colleges,
married
different
people
and
went
about
the
job
of
raising
children
and
developing
careers.
Fast
forward
to
Nov.
28,2002,
when
the
two
sweethearts
were
married
on
board
the
Sovereign
of
the
Seas,
a
cruise
ship
that
sailed
from
Port
Canaveral,
Fla.,
to
Nassau
and
Paradise
Island.
Congratulations
to
the
lovebirds
and
may
they
have
many
happy
years
together.
My
first
official
meeting
as
president
of
the
Lehigh
Club
of
Southern
Arizona
was
the
Lehigh
/
Lafayette
football
telecast
on
Nov.
23.
About
15
Lehigh
alumni
/
alumnae
(and
four
from
Lafayette)
attended
our
soiree
-
great
fun,
but
wrong
score.
My
Lafayette
counterpart
and I
agreed
that
we
will
do
this
again
next
year.
Thanks,
classmates,
for
your
support.
Continue
to
let
me
know
what's
happening
in
your
lives.
