the thirties

Lamparter recently published the book, “Where the Saints Have Trod,” in which he tells the story of many Lutheran churches in Lancaster County, which includes some of the county’s oldest congregations and how they impacted the area. Robert resides at Luther Acres in Lititz, Pa.

the fifties

| ’56 | Rodway M. Bullock wants to let all his fellow classmates and alums know that he “is still alive and kickin’!!” After Rod received a master’s of science degree in organic chemistry at Penn State University, he worked as research chemist for American Cyanamid Co. He is happily enjoying his retirement working for ON TIME Transport, a leading New Jersey medical transport company for disabled and handicapped clients. Rod says, “I credit my professors at Muhlenberg for nurturing my passion to explore the scientific unknown, to be inventive and to help and aid humanity in a way I never dreamed possible.” He reports that his daughter Vanessa and his grandson Dontay live with him in Elizabeth, N.J. Tommy Coughlin, class correspondent, sends in the following news from several classmates: Tony Saddler lives in Florida with his wife Phyllis. They have three children, two boys and a girl, and six grandchildren, four boys and two girls. During his career, Tony was president of S&M Life Associates, president of Insureco-Saddler Agency, president of Morris/Sussex Co. Independent Insurance Agents and on the executive board of New Jersey Independent Insurance Agents. Tony also served as vice president of Hanover Park Regional High School Board of Education and first president of Florham Park Jaycees. Now that Tony is fully retired, he and Phyllis have been traveling and in three years have toured the Danube area, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Hong Kong, Thailand, Paris, Monte Carlo and Nice. Several years ago, Tony was inducted into the Muhlenberg Athletic Hall of Fame. In his playing days Tony was a 220-pound fullback and tackle on the football team (a Maxwell Award recipient) and a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher on the baseball team. Tony has been working out and is now a trim and fit 195 pounds – good going Tony. After a stint in Germany with the U.S. Army (1957-59), Don Sheasley began a long tenure as an English teacher at Piscataway Township High School in central Jersey until his retirement in 1992. Also at the high school, Don was a golf coach for 22 years and public address announcer for 36 years. Don has lived in Princeton for 16 years and has continued his interest in music and is very active in community theater. As a member of the Muhlenberg Mask & Dagger Society, his performance in “The Caine Mutiny” was outstanding. In 1976, Don began a career as a Verdi baritone, singing 40 roles with opera companies throughout the New York City and Philadelphia metro areas. In 1999, he produced a CD of arias, art songs and musical pieces entitled “Warm as Autumn Light.” The CD is available through Craig Productions of Princeton, 460 Walnut Lane, Princeton, NJ 08540. Probably few at ’Berg know of Conrad Weiser’s childhood employment, performing in little theater productions at age four and television from 1940. He acquired his Actor’s Equity Card at age 10. After graduating Muhlenberg with a bachelor’s of science degree in physics/mathematics in 1956, Conrad went to work for Philco, Corp. where the first solid state digital computers were built. He attended Yale graduate school on a Ford Foundation scholarship. After completing his military obligation in the Army with the Florida National Guard and the Army Reserve, he went to work for Link Trainer Corporation in Binghamton, N.Y. He was schooled in programming, subsequently writing software code for Gemini, Apollo and other space programs. Conrad moved back to Tampa, Fla., and joined the Reflectone Corporation in the electronics simulation field as project manager and supervised the Air Force A-10 Trainer Project. Upon completion of the project, Conrad entered a well-deserved semi-retired mode and is now enjoying the Florida sun.
