John is also looking forward to playing a little golf when it gets cooler in the fall and winter. He had a great time staying with Bill Black over Reunion weekend. Also enjoyed seeing Frank Scattene and Rich Chambers at the Theta Xi get-together. I wish the best to all my classmates. ’8-O! GO! GO! ’81TomWocklish, twocklish@alum. lehigh.edu Jennifer and I vacationed for a week with fellow DU bros and spouses on Hilton Head Island inMay, celebrating life and losing golf balls. The occasion we anticipated and planned for more than a year was referred to as DUHilton Head. Before you have too much fun with that acronym, Delta Upsilon is among the 11 active chapters you will fnd on the Hill today. Remember the 31 houses when we arrived? You’ve been updated on most of the DUHH attendees, Dave Szablowski ’82 and wife Keely, Rodger Hutley and Jan (Kamon) Hutley, but not Bob “Cheese” Palsgrove. Bob retired in January 2021 after 40 years in the banking industry and is currently living along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Since retiring, Bob and his wife, Marion, have enjoyed watching three of their fve blended-family children getting married and the arrival of their frst grandchild in June. Bob and his wife have done a lot of traveling since retiring, especially enjoying the sites in the U.S. When not traveling, he enjoys fshing, golfng and especially fy fshing in Pennsylvania and New York. Jerry Leibensperger is the one fellow alumnus who reached out to the new class correspondent with an “atta boy” and a welcome update. Thanks, Jerry! You’re the best! Jerry retired fromCarpenter Technology after 37 years in the high-performance specialty alloy-based materials industry. He was very happy at Carpenter while performing many roles, including metallurgist, manufacturing manager, procurement director and VP of sales. Now, instead of sealing the deal, Jerry enjoys hiking, golfng, kayaking, fshing and travel. He is also recognized by most people in his house as a wine connoisseur. He and his wife have been lifelong residents of Berks County. With three grown children spread around the country, it’s a good place to be (although Florida is looking better every winter). Jerry and his family have enjoyed vacationing on the Outer Banks for many years and have plans to go this year with his wife and oldest son to relax, fsh and kayak. Snort, chuckle, titter, gufaw, howl. Our chief comedy ofcer parlayed the wit common to EE’s into a successful comedy career.
