Class
correspondents, a peculiar breed, are always looking for news. We often
correspond with each other and as a result. Don Williams, class
correspondent for 1950, sends along news that Kay and
Bill Bloomfield (Note:
Bill
is
listed as "Lost" as we have no address or
e-mail for him) and Marvel and Dick
Evans visit Nantucket, Mass., every summer. Don
Beck e‑mails from Haddonfield, N.J., that he and his wife, Carol,
Cedar Crest '52, have been married for 55 years, retired 11, and have four
children and eight grandchildren. Don
sees
Bill Smith weekly at the Retired Men's Club,
and
Don
is also
active in the American Legion and is a weekly volunteer on the battleship USS
New Jersey.
It is with a
great sorrow that I announce the passing of
Wil Wilbern -
Bill Murray, of Sugarland, Texas, called me with
the news in early 2008. Wil
was a friend
and a true Son of Lehigh. He rarely missed a reunion or a football game. After
high school,
Wil
entered the
Air Force and worked for 10 years in order to save enough money to enter Lehigh
in 1948. After graduating with an I.E. degree,
Wil
spent 31
years in the smelting business with Union Carbide. He became known as the
father of process computer control of electric smelting furnaces. Wil
spent most
of his career in places like Norway, Brazil, Germany, England, Canada, and South
Africa and spoke five languages. About two years ago,
Wil
suffered a
stroke and spent his last days in managed care in Virginia. Wil
, God bless
you. You are missed.
That's it
for this edition. If you have any news of the class, I'd appreciate your sending
it along.
