Pat
I took my annual trek East in September and witnessed three Lehigh
victories (Penn, Princeton and Cornell). My thanks to Barb and
Bill Smith
and Ceily and
Wally Field
for opening up their homes to me.
Before I forget,
Bill Erdman
is looking for any and all class information - individual profiles,
missing classmates, anecdotes, vignettes, anything you think will be of
interest to the class.
Bill
also established a Website for his 50th High School Reunion, and the
result was great. If you want to communicate with
Bill
directly, his e-mail is wce07@earthlink.net
Back to football for a minute! At halftime (Cornell game), the 50th
anniversary of the 1950 undefeated team was celebrated. On the field
were 31 of the original 42 players; imagine, not only are 31 of these guys
still with us, but 74 percent of them returned! Of those back, 11
were from our class -
Bob
Borofski,
Stan Gedney,
Pete Ginesi,
Lon Haines,
Bill
Henderson,
Dave Mesick,
Joe Orr,
Dick
Pradetto,
Walt Pullar,
Dick Schmidt
and
I ran into Gerry and
Norm Merksamer
at the Penn game and, among other things, learned that their son, Gregg
'84, is a published author, and that the
Merksamers
are still playing tennis.
Norm
says the shorts on the court are shorter than on the golf course.
Daz and I played mixed doubles up until a year ago when the "ole" knees
gave out!
World travelers Barbara and
Frank Sgambelluri
venture to Italy often to see
Frank's relatives in Naples. This summer they also took in the
Passion Play at Oberammergau (Germany) where the theater has been
completely modernized and the production is as elaborate as any at the Met
in New York. While in Italy,
Frank
mentioned swimming at Amalfi, seeing the ruins at Herculanum and getting
to the top of Vesuvius.
Daz and I ventured up the Interstate to Phoenix to see the Engineers /
Mountain Hawks dispose of Lafayette. I'll put the "cap" on this
edition with a tribute to the 2000 football team - congrats on a 11-0
undefeated season.
