Alumni News
George Olmstead '56 recalls that Gamma opened doors of opportunity. His
career was extremely interesting, challenging, and rewarding. "On every
job you should be willing to work hard, have objectives, seek knowledge,
persevere, and treat people respectfully." George can remember a prime
pledge objective was to get John Akers '55 into a car, which contained
only pledges, for a ride he would long remember. Objective accomplished!
Lynn Dietrich '70 received Penn State's
Distinguished Alumni Award, the
university's highest individual award,
which salutes alumni whose personal
lives, professional achievements, and
community service exemplify the
objectives of their alma mater. Lynn is
the director of global engineering and
the Engineering Centers of Excellence
for Manitowoc Cranes. He resides in
Chambersburg, Pa., with his wife, Joyce.
