Walking in the Footsteps of Greatness
From its earliest days, the College has produced alumni who have reached dizzying heights in their chosen careers and left the world a better place as a result. Widely recognized names like Tom ’71 and Susan Manbeck ’72 Corbett, former governor and first lady of Pennsylvania; Charlie Gelbert ’28, MLB shortstop for fan favorites like the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox; and actress Marylouise Burke ’62, of Sideways and Wild Canaries fame, all don LVC’s alumni rolls. But some of the College’s less-famous alumni are just as impressive.
You can read about several in the most recent issue of The Valley alumni magazine, and a few more below.
