ALUMNI UPDATE
Chapter Celestial
William E. Drier '55 entered Chapter Celestial
on June 21. He followed Ohio State sports and
cheered on the Buckeyes until the end. Bill was a
family man who would be found on the weekends
at the Hall of Fame Swim Club cheering his son
to the Olympic Trials or out fishing on the family
boat. He loved his antique wooden Chris Crafts
and became a prized collector. He enjoyed the
yacht club and the serenity of Lake Dora, and
his beautiful home on boat house row. Bill will
be remembered for his joie de vivre, sincere
kindness, and humor. He is survived by his wife,
Maryellen; children, David and Dinah; grandson,
Devon; and two stepdaughters.
