Harvey Thomas (Tom) Calvert

H Thomas Calvert '52, Hillsborough, N.C., June 4, 2010. He was the owner of H. T. Calvert D/B/A.  As an undergraduate, he was part of the Alpha Kappa Psi and Phi Sigma Mu honor societies and was also a brother of Theta Chi.

I’ve lived at Cape Fear, NC, for the last 12 / 13 years and have done lots of traveling, first the US in a camper and now abroad.  Still have to get to Africa and Antarctica but been lots of other places.   Presently planning trip while I recover from a knee replacement.  Instead of "H. Thomas Calvert"  just make it plain "Tom"  - no one any longer remembers what the "H" stood for - especially me. (Editors note:  It’s “Harvey”, Tom) – October 2005

Hi all: It looks like 52’ Theta Delts will be scarce – or no attendees.  One of my mates said, “What do you expect?  Theta Delt is gone from Lehigh.”   Here’s the results of my phone calls:

•  Robert Barrett lives in the Pittsburgh area, a 75 mile drive.  Further, he didn’t graduate from Lehigh.  It was U of Pittsburgh when his family moved there.  He’s a slight “maybe”.

• David Duys: His son answered, and said that his father died two years. He thanked me for the talk we had.  (deceased)

• Bob Mantell (deceased):  He said NO.

• John McAlonan:  He didn’t get any info from Lehigh, so I described it briefly.  He is a “maybe”, but not if no other brothers are going.  Also, He asked what the (fee)s are.  If he comes, he will play golf.  Send me the fees, because I don’t have it here.

•  Doug Pollitt:  He liked the 50th, so I hope he will go.  He hasn’t decided yet.  Another “maybe”.  

• Bob Youry (deceased):  There was no phone # on the page you gave me, so I got a correct number online.  When I called, It was disconnected.

• Randy Zehner (deceased):  Randy has to miss this one.  He’s going to a grandson’s wedding in Indiana.

All the best, Jim Clark – April 2012

From 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - Right out of Lehigh with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering, given the month of June to play, then off for 2 years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force.  The first year in Georgia was the best - I met Jeannice, got engaged, married her after a second year of duty in French Morocco.  We've spent 46 great years together so far.

Two years at U. of Penn and an M.S. in Met. E. to prove it.  Dupont's offer was the best.  A very satisfying career over 32 years of varied and challenging assignments, first in research, then on to business and marketing.  But the real excitement was on the home front.  Two boys - Bruce and Andrew, a year apart and then beautiful daughter - Sally, 3 years later.  All the good kid things in the growing up years - sports, Scouts, grades, vacations - plus the inevitable setbacks and tears.  They're all degreed, have careers (bond / currency trading, software sales and nursing).  Now 6 fascinating grandkids are bringing on the new generation.  A humbling feeling.

Jeannice closed a successful career as realtor, now has 2 busy volunteer commitments serving her fellow humans in hospital services and scholarships for women.  For nearly 20 years, I've volunteered in agencies serving the homeless - and more recently, youth-at-risk - inner city Wilmington, DE.  Rich personal rewards accrue, also disappointments.  We are blessed with family, friends and good health.  And keeping right on.  Long-distance cycling works for me.

Dave was a retired plant manager for Zinc Corp. and an Army veteran of the Korean War.  Survivors: Wife, Marie; son; daughter; two grandchildren.

Victor Cohn

Victor H. Cohn ’52, Kensington, Md., March 15, 2019.  Professor Cohn was a member of the concert band and Marching 97, as well as the Mustard and Cheese Society, Tau Beta Pi honor society and a brother of Pi Lambda Phi.  He taught pharmacology for 35 years at George Washington University School of Medicine. - Fall 2019 Alumni Bulletin.

I heard from Victor in March, 2012, but all he did was laugh.

From 50th Reunion Book, 2002 - 1954 - A.M. (Medical Sciences), Harvard University. 1961 - PhD (Biochemistry), George Washington University.  While studying at Harvard, I met Marlene Kaschmann, 6 months later, we were married and now have a daughter, 2 sons and 3 grandchildren.

My career started at the National Institutes of Health doing research on brain biochemistry.  Four years later, I joined the Department of Pharmacology at George Washington University Medical Center.  My research related to drug metabolism; I specialized in teaching pain management, alcoholism and drug abuse.  In addition to teaching medical students, I developed and taught graduate level courses in drug abuse education to school teachers and counselors, law enforcement and military officers and college students.

In 1979-80, I served as the science advisor in the White House Office for Drug Abuse Policy.  For 3 years, I was a member of the National Academy of Science - National Research Council's Board on Toxicology and Environmental Health.  Other community activities have included 20 years on the Board of Trustees and 3 years as President of Temple Emanuel of Kensington, and as a member of several community mental health and drug abuse advisory boards.

At retirement, my most cherished gift was the establishment by my graduate students of an annual Victor Cohn Lecture in Neuroscience.  For 50 years my avocation has been cooking, and especially bread baking (by hand, not machine).  Each summer, we spend 4 months in Maine.  The rest of the year, we take courses at Johns Hopkins, attend many chamber music concerts and plays and travel.
