36 | LEHIGH ALUMNI BULLETIN ’51AND EARLIER Wes Wardell, 302998-7020; and associate, Lee Martucci ’82, leemartucci12@ gmail.com, 602-370-5496 Edward Luckenbach ’47 reported, “Glad to see someone from my time is still around and doing things. I’m in a Crane’s Mill continuing care facility in West Caldwell, N.J., in the independent living area. I spend my time fiddling with my computer and taking naps. I have three children, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.” Bill Milanese Jr. ’49 is 99 years young as of June and is doing well. Bill and his wife, Pegg, raised five children, eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He enlisted in the Navy in 1944 in the V5 program for pilot training, after which he went back to college. Before transferring to Lehigh, he went to Middlebury College and University of North Carolina. When Bill started at Lehigh, Bethlehem Steel was on strike and the area was rather depressed. Lehigh was short on housing, so they brought in Pullman train cars for housing. Bill was able to find a room at a private house for his tenure at Lehigh. Bill graduated with a degree in industrial engineering and went to work for the Linotype Company. He was involved in R&D as a project engineer and holds several patents. He later joined Alco Gravure, a national printer, rising to senior VP, and was one of eight founders when reorganized as an ESOP. They had plants in seven states. He retired at 65 years old when they sold the business to a large conglomerate. Class Notes Welcome to Class Notes, where you can find out what your fellow alums are up to.
