CLASS NOTES | SUMMER 2025 | 39 for the 65th Reunion and discussed our sadness that the Bills missed the Super Bowl this year. Bruce Gilbert was also upset about the Bills and that he was older and slower. He has a story about Tom Shaver, who came out to try track as a sophomore and beat them all. Tom is now married to his third wife and has a freshman in high school. He is also a Bills fan! Gina and Bob Christie—also lifetime Bills fans—decided to stay in Syosset, N.Y., near doctors, church and family. The last time I went to Gary’s Barber Shop after he retired, Mike had more sad news for me—Gary was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Hang in there with the new Bills’ stadium—it is going to make it, and so are you and the Bills! Bill Glose was disappointed that plans to go south this winter fell through for him and most of the regulars. But he is still dancing up a storm. Did you hear that AJ Lee, the California musician, played the Centennial Song at the National Collegiate Wrestling Championships? And Dave Setzer and the president were there. I’ve asked to have Kaci Nowadly ’96 fill in my spot as the Lehigh representative to run the Lehigh-Lafayette telecast in November. Greekers to Kaci Nowadly and Gary the Barber in Orchard Park. ’59 Bob Teufel, 1 Stoklea Drive, Emmaus, PA 18049. (610) 967-2049 (H); (610) 393-0565 (C); rteufel@aol.com Caught up with class president (and reunion chairman) Leon Harbold and wife Lynne as they were leaving for their annual April month in Florida, stopping along the way to spend time with fellow Beta brothers Jim Blair and Ed Hamer. As you must recall, Leon and Ed were outstanding wrestlers, and both still looked in great shape last year at our 65th Reunion. Lehigh won the EIWA our senior year, and Dick Santoro won the Fletcher Award for scoring the most team points over his career. Lehigh won the Easterns again this year, but since Cornell dropped out of the EIWA as the Ivy League now has its own tournament, it’s not the same level of competition. (Cornell did win the Ivy League.) Over 10,000 wrestling fans jammed Allentown’s PPL Center to see the LU-Penn State match. A bit one-sided as the Brown won only one bout. Penn State wrestling dominates the NCAA recently. Our long-serving class treasurer Glenn Kinard recently downsized, moving to Luther Crest assisted living in Allentown. He reported the food is excellent, and he and his wife haven’t cooked a meal since he moved in. He still plays “old guys doubles” in tennis twice a week. Jim Swenson was recovering from a touch of flu when we had a discussion of the generosity of our class over the years to Lehigh. He thought our giving pattern was established by Gene Mercy and George Karr when they visited just about every living group promoting our class gift through an inexpensive insurance program that ended and paid out at our 10th Reunion. Our participation was over 60 percent. ’60 Williams E. Millsom, 67 Mystic Road, North Stonington, CT 06359, (860) 235-3618 (C); bill.millsom@gmail.com Hello, classmates. As I write this, I am packing up to leave Jupiter, Fla., after a couple of delightful months in the sun. While down here, my wife, Gill, and I got together with John Cunningham and his wife, Karen. The first time for dinner and the second time at a very nice party they hosted at their apartment in Palm Beach. Nat Day ’62, whom I had not seen in over 50 years, was there. He lives permanently in Palm Beach. Dave Eyer reported that he "went to Egypt visiting mainly the ancient history part from Cairo to the Sudan border with my five children, two in-law children, and four of five grandchildren for nine days in early March. Wow, what a trip. I then went on with my son Mike, his Turkish born wife Esin and my 7-year-old grandson William to Istanbul for four days, and then to Alsace (in northeast France) for a week to visit distant but emotionally close Eyer relatives. More items checked off my bucket list." ’61 Ken Weaver, 13 Coachman Drive, Egg Harbor Township, N.J 08234, kenweaver78@gmail. com, (609) 788-4897 (H) Two notes from Class President Paul Smith: A reminder that our next Reunion, our 65th, is June 11-14, 2026. There will be a steering committee (volunteers welcome), and we plan to once again reserve rooms at the Comfort Suites. Please try to make it back! Also, our class website is back (lehigh61.com). Check for events of interest and class updates. Len Hertzberg attended Tufts Medical School and graduated in 1965. He interned for one year in Baltimore and had a three-year psychiatric residency at the University of Maryland. He married Elaine in 1964, and they have now been married for 60 years. They’ve lived in Baltimore continuously since 1965, and since the pandemic he has provided treatment via telehealth three days a week and performed independent psychiatric evaluations in his office or via Zoom. Len practices general psychiatry, specializing in forensic psychiatric issues. The work remains interesting, and his health remains good (which Elaine and he both attribute to her ongoing care and their loving relationship). For now, he does not plan to retire. They have two sons, Marc and Scott. Marc is a 1989 graduate of Lehigh and a financial planner with an office in Baltimore. He and his wife, Randi, have three sons, all of whom graduated college, and a daughter in her junior year of high school. Scott lives in southern Vermont with a fulltime consulting position with the Justice Department and, with his wife, Tanya, has an organic farm, which keeps them busy. They have a son who is a senior in high school and a daughter who is a freshman. Len and Elaine have enjoyed a good life in Maryland, knowing no one when they arrived but having developed meaningful friendships. They greatly enjoy celebrating special events with family and visiting their grandchildren, who now live in California, Vermont, Chicago and England. His fraternity, Tau Delta Phi, became defunct many years back, and Len has lost contact with his fraternity brothers. Toby James writes that he is still active in the community and still working, which people our age can’t believe. He works four days a week as a tax accountant for a local CPA firm. Besides processing returns, he is the “lucky” person in the office who deals with IRS and state issues. They prepare about 500 personal and trust returns a year and about 75 partnership and corporation returns. He’s not sure about retirement, but it is beckoning. Toby moved into a very nice independent living retirement home in St. Louis last year. He has a voice that is deep and well heard, and he wasn’t in his new home long when he was asked to become the “caller” at the two monthly Bingo games. He just transitioned out of being the parade starter, which he did for 45 years for one of the largest July 4th parades in the country, begun in St. Louis in 1880. He also ran Super Bowl, World Series and Stanley Cup victory parades! He has enjoyed summer vacations in northern Wisconsin—much nicer weather than
