52 | LEHIGH ALUMNI BULLETIN | CLASS NOTES ’62 Philip J. Kinzel, 808 South Drive, Brick, NJ 08724.

But Eleanor and I did attend the post-game dinner at Harold Milton’s ’63. Harold hosted his annual venison chili dinner and all the trimmings at his old farmhouse, built in 1751 on 20 acres in Quakertown. Several of the guests were members of the famous 1961 Lambert Cup Championship team. The Lambert Cup was emblematic of eastern small-college football supremacy. Penny and Mike Semcheski were at the game and dinner. Penny and Mike, team captain, recently moved from the Jersey shore to Valley Forge, Pa. Mike was drafted by the Dallas Texans and later became a prominent collegiate football official. He retired from Computer Sciences Corporation in Egg Harbor, N.J. Fritz Mueller attended his 64th Le-Laf game with his son, Robert ’88. Fritz has attended every Lehigh-Lafayette game since his freshman year. He is looking forward to next year and celebrating his 65th at Goodman. Maybe we can arrange for some special recognition. Also at the game were season ticket holders Norman Goldberg and Art Cader. Norm, attending his 63rd Le-Laf game, participated in the 50 Game Club lunch on the Friday before the game. Senior players and coaches have lunch with members who have attended 50 or more Lehigh-Lafayette games. Norm is also a season ticket holder for Lehigh wrestling events. At my column deadline, Norm’s dilemma was whether to attend the Lehigh-Penn State wrestling match or the New York Giants game, where he is also a season ticket holder. When not attending sporting events, Norm plays tennis. He’s proud to report that “this octogenarian keeps up with his 40-year-old opponents.” Peter Fitch joined the wimps who decided not to navigate the challenges of Fisher Stadium. Peter and Ann have been a regular part of the group of Le-Laf game attendees organized by Newt Wilson ’63. Pete and Ann live in Colts Neck, N.J. Peter is retired from his law practice, Fitch, King LLC, specializing in customs and international trade matters, handling those before U.S. Customs & Border Protection, including the classification and valuation of imported goods, customs audits, penalty and liquidated damage claims, and those involving the U.S. International Trade Commission. On Sept. 15, Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE), a nonprofit organization that prepares students for college success, hosted its 15th anniversary gala and celebrated its students’ remarkable journeys to and through college. YPIE honored Carl E. Petrillo, vice chairman of the YPIE Board of Directors and chairman of Yonkers Contracting Company, Inc., for his steadfast dedication to YPIE students. Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano presented the award to Carl. “There is no more important mission than educating our children and equipping them with the tools they need to face the challenges of this world. We truly change lives at YPIE, and I am proud to be part of it,” said Carl. Last November, Ron Johnson enjoyed a vacation in France. He spent days in Paris, enjoyed unforgettable wine in the Loire Valley and fulfilled a long-term dream of visiting Normandy. It was on his bucket list to visit the beaches in Normandy, and he was overwhelmed with the site where 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded and which helped to end World War II. ’63 Dr. Robert C. Elser, navman9@comcast. net; and James Newton Wilson, 959 Tree Tops, Wharton, NJ 07885, (973) LEhigh7-6516 (H), (862) 2430864 (C), newt14@optimum.net Please remember to set the dates of June 8-11 aside in your calendars. Those are the dates for our 60th reunion, which should be a good one. Fred Braun, reunion chair extraordinaire, is at the helm again and promises to make this reunion a memorable one. Bob Hollinger writes that the members of his Delta Phi pledge class have been enjoying annual reunions, including spouses and significant others, since 2008. Paul Carlson suggested the first reunion be at Lehigh that year. Since everyone had a fun time (including a libation at the Tally Ho), they decided to continue the fun every year in a different brother’s hometown or place of choice: Charlie Meyer in Oyster Bay, N.Y.; Dick Smith in Manchester, Vt.; Bill Stuebe in Savannah, Ga.; Chip Herzog in Knoxville, Tenn.; Paul Carlson in Cohasset, Mass., and Newport, R.I.; John Ullberg in Trumansburg, N.Y.; Herm Whiteman in Virginia Beach, Va., and Bonita Springs, Fla.; Bob Hollinger in Richmond, Va.; and lastly in Amagansett, Long Island, where Schatzie Meyer entertained the group after Charlie died. We also prematurely lost Marty Rasmussen and Bill Stuebe, as well as John’s wife, Martha. One of the most memorable reunions was at the 2014 Lehigh-Lafayette game at Yankee Stadium, where everyone shivered in the cold while witnessing Lehigh lose to our archrival. Joe Wood writes that upon graduating, “I took a job with Gulf Oil using infrared spectrometry to identify additives and contaminants in oils and other petroleum products. At that time, I was studying and earned my MBA. In 1967, I moved on to DuPont, and in 1968, I married my wife, Lorene. I worked for several companies, and we lived in Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Later on, I earned a master’s in computer systems. I spent the last 15 years of my career working for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. After a few years as an environmental chemist, an opening developed for a computer systems analyst. For the rest of my working career, I assisted the more than 200 people in the southwest region with their computer needs.” Joe and his wife, Lorene (who goes by Sally), live in the south hills of Pittsburgh. Meyer Haberman writes that Doug Feltman has a successful health care business, Alan Pearce is still practicing law, and Pete Fuchs spends part of the year in Colorado. One of his fellow Floridians, Emery Rosenbluth, is practicing law in Orlando. Meyer is still in Boca Raton and has been elected chairman of Communities in Schools for Palm Beach County, a nonprofit dropout prevention organization. Tony Mazzucca writes that he has moved back to New Jersey, after 20 years in Florida. “Missed snow and other things. Still working, but not very hard. More work on our garden. Much cheaper to buy vegetables, but then the squirrels would have nothing to eat.” Jeff Scholz writes that he is “living in West Palm Beach now full time, but have a small condo in Annapolis, which we visit in the summer. Racing my Harbor 20 sailboat on the west coast of Florida in the winter and my boat in Annapolis during the summer. Took up croquet and still flying my airplane. Check in on the Betas every once in a while.” ’64 David A. Riemondy, 774 Malibu Lane, Indialantic, FL 32903.
