Class Newsletter Spring 2024

Woody Chamberlain and wife Barbara have been living in Scottsdale, Arizona for 28 years. They are right on a golf course in the Boulders neighborhood.

After Lehigh, Woody spent six years in the army, rising to Captain in the 101st Airborne, serving in multiple locations including Vilseck, Germany.

He then worked in the aerospace and defense industries, becoming a partner at Arthur Young, and finally Vice President of Manufacturing at Computer Science Corporation. After retirement, he became involved with a start-up software development company looking for funding, and today is the President of EMARS, Inc., a certified payroll software firm. He loves to golf, but his son and grandson living nearby are terrific golfers, so he uses the “shamble” technique to take advantage of their drives.

Chuck Mihal and his wife Terry live in New Albany, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Following graduation, Chuck got drafted and spent two years at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. He did some consulting work and then went into banking, working for Savings and Loans in Cleveland and Springfield for almost 50 years, enduring some three bank mergers and retiring as Controller in 2009.

For some years, Terry has been a lease analyst for several companies, particularly a major mall in Cleveland. They have five children and 11 grandchildren.

Chuck is a huge sports fan, especially the Browns, going back to their success in the All-America Football Conference and continuing success after entering the NFL.  Living close to Columbus, Chuck is now a big fan of Ohio State. He is part of a group of Lambda Chi Alpha brothers that held reunions at the Maryland seashore every two years, but those have not resumed since Covid.

Chuck Morgan, my fellow Theta Delt, and Judy live in suburban Baltimore. After serving as an Army officer, he spent his working life with Connecticut General, which became CIGNA. Judy has a successful interior design business, which she plans to close at the end of this year. 

After retirement, Chuck drove blind veterans to weekly meetings at the Baltimore V.A. Hospital. He is also active in the Sons of the American Revolution.

They are originally from the Finger Lakes Region of New York, and have a second home on Keuka Lake, where they spend several months each year.

They love to combine travel with biking, and biked through the Czech Republic and Austria on one trip, the Loire Valley on another (that trip included Paris and Normandy), and then through Spain on yet another. They are planning a barge trip through the Netherlands in 2024.

Dave Clark and Ann live in North Haven, Connecticut, where Dave says he is “still kickin’”. He spent his career with Southern New England Telephone Company, working in accounting, auditing, finance and regulatory. He retired in 2001 after 40 years there.

Ann is originally from the south – Georgia and the Carolinas, so they used to travel down there almost every year. Following retirement, Dave was active in working with a local credit union, serving as Secretary and Treasurer.

He and Ann have three daughters, two nearby and one in Florida, and four grandchildren. Dave still prefers to read paper, rather than electronic, magazines and newspapers, and says his long walks have gotten a bit shorter recently!

In October, Jessica and I journeyed to Bethlehem for the Georgetown game and our annual Theta Delt football weekend. Fred Gross and Al Richmond were there from our class, as were Rudy Fleischacker from ’60, Wil Hamp, Jim Murchie and Kent Westhelle from ’62 and Harold Milton from ’63. Good times!
