1951
A Lycoming Legacy began with
Matthew Cendoma ’51, and
continued with his children,
including daughter, Cynthia
Cendoma ’69; son, Matthew
Cendoma ’75 and daughter,
Patricia (Cendoma) Whelan ’89,
who married John Whelan, Ph.D.,
professor of philosophy at
Lycoming. Sarah and Daniel also
attended Lycoming. Children
of Patricia and John include
Prudence Cendoma ’96 and
Gabriel Cendoma ’97.
1961
Dr. Eli Stavisky was honored
by the Scranton District
Dental Society for his years
of dedication and service to
the field of dentistry. After
graduating from Lycoming, he
attended Temple University
School of Dentistry, New York
University and served in the
U.S. Air Force as a captain. He
received numerous awards and
distinctions through the years,
held several positions in the field
of dentistry and medicine and
personally mentored 60 pre-
dental students.
1966
William Deitch volunteered for
two weeks to teach English in
the Andean town of Guaranda,
Ecuador, this summer. The trip
was organized by the non-profit
organization “Language for the
Nations” and more than 300
students took advantage of the
opportunity.
1968
Philip Beckley had the good
fortune to attend the National
Republican Convention in
Cleveland, Ohio, as an alternate
delegate.
It was his
first national
political
convention and
unlike anything
he had ever
done. A unique
experience. Philip believes
he has now attended the two
seminal events of his time:
The Woodstock Rock Festival
in 1969 and the Republican
National Convention in 2016.
Between 1969 and 2016 he was
just kind of hanging around.
1972
Kathleen (Dixon) Donnelly,
Ph.D., has adapted her personal
walking tour of the Bloomsbury
area of London into a GPS audio
walk, “Such Friends”: Virginia
Woolf and the Bloomsbury
Group. Published on the
innovative audio walking tour
app, VoiceMap, it is available to
download from iTunes, Google
Play and their own site, www.
. She has given
presentations about early
20th century writers’ salons at
lifelong learning programs in
the United States, as well as in
the United Kingdom, where she
currently lives, and led tours of
the areas where they gathered
— the west of Ireland, Paris’ Left
Bank and Bloomsbury.
Gary Spies and his Theta Chi
brothers gathered for a golf
outing at Olde Homestead Golf
Course in New Tripoli, Pa. on
Aug. 30, 2016.
