ILKES HAS A LONG TRADITION OF LEADERSHIP
in the sciences and engineering. Our role continues with the
announcement of a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department
of Energy to launch the Institute for Energy and Environmental
Research of Northeast Pennsylvania.With its past efforts to help
address acid mine drainage and waste water pollution in the
Susquehanna,Wilkes has attracted scientists to its faculty and staff who are at the
forefront of water quality and environmental research.Through the Institute, these
scientists and others we bring on board will provide critical information to the
region about the impact of Marcellus shale gas drilling.You’ll read more about our
work in this issue’s cover story.
Ensuring the University’s continued excellence in
science, health and engineering programs requires leading
edge facilities. In June, the University’s Board of Trustees
approved a proposal for construction of a new $35
million science building.When complete, the facility will
house the departments of biology, chemistry, and enviromental engineering and earth sciences and serve as home
to the University’s new Institute for Energy and
Environmental Research of Northeast Pennsylvania.
While a decision on the location for the new building
has not been made, it will be located adjacent to the Stark

planning process will include some discussion of the new
building and its location on campus in the context of the overall design of the campus.
The new building, a 55,000- to 70,000-square-foot facility, will offer state-of-theart laboratories and related instructional and research space for programs that are
regarded as the best in northeast Pennsylvania. Construction on the new facility will
begin in fall 2011. Occupancy of the building will take place in spring 2013.
This project represents the first step of a three-phase project that will provide the
University’s College of Science and Engineering and its Nesbitt College of
Pharmacy and Nursing with 21st-century instructional and research space. In
addition to construction of the new science building, Phase I also includes relocation
of the Nesbitt College’s School of Nursing to the Stark Learning Center.
Funding for the new science building will come from a $20 million capital
campaign being managed by the University’s Advancement Office and from
other sources. It is hoped that this will include
some state support that acknowledges the
important contributions made by the Wilkes
science programs and their graduates. Our
alumni and friends also will be an integral

Women’s Soccer Team
Travels to Brazil
Members of Wilkes’ women’s soccer team and coach John
Sumoski got a taste of life in the land where soccer is king when
they traveled to Brazil from Aug. 2 to 12.While in Brazil, the
Lady Colonels played matches against their counterparts on
Brazilian women’s teams.
Players Katy Fissel, an integrative media major from Madison,
N.J., and Ashley Graham, a pharmacy major from New
Hampton, N.Y., blogged about their experience while in Brazil.
On one of her blog entries, Fissel described the team trip to a
game in Sao Paulo: “If you like soccer at all, this is honestly
an experience of a lifetime that I suggest putting on your
bucket lists. Sao Paolo scores first and the crowd erupts
and cheers.They are already standing because no one
sits at these games, but people bring out huge
flags and red flares.”
Wilkes University staff and players also
conducted a clinic for children between
the ages of 7 and 12. Sightseeing included
trips to Santos Stadium, home of soccer
great Pele, to the cities of Sao Paulo and
Sao Sebastio—and even time at the
beach.Team members conducted
fundraisers during the 2009-2010
academic year to raise money for the
once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Commonwealth Medical College Eases
Path to Medical School for Wilkes Students
2
Wilkes and The Commonwealth Medical College (TCMC) have signed an
agreement easing the way to medical school for qualified students
graduating from the University.
The program—called the Premedical Scholars BS/MD Program—is for
students in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. Students come to Wilkes for
two years and apply to TCMC at the end of the sophomore year.The
program expedites the medical school admission process for participants.The
highly selective program will admit five students per year. During their time at
Wilkes, they receive support from the Wilkes Health Sciences office.
If accepted, students know they will be able to attend the medical school
when they graduate from Wilkes, provided they meet basic criteria, including
minimum grade-point average and scores on the Medical College Admission
Test (MCAT). Students also will be required to provide a statement of why
they wish to practice medicine in a rural or underserved area, since TCMC
program participants are required to practice there.
Reynold Verret,Wilkes University provost, says
the program provides a streamlined process for
entrance into medical school for qualified and
motivated students. “As part of an affiliated
program, students have to complete only one
application,”Verret says. “Many of Wilkes’ students
come from Luzerne and Lackawanna counties,
making the partnership with TCMC ideal for
them.Wilkes has exceptional programs in the
sciences and students who excel in those programs
will have the advantage of getting a head start in
their medical careers. ”

WILKES SCIENTISTS LEND
EXPERTISE TO CLARIFY
CONCERNS ABOUT GAS
DRILLING IN PENNSYLVANIA’S
MARCELLUS SHALE
WILKES | Winter 2010

WILKES | Winter 2010
M
ore than a century ago, when coal was
king, northeastern Pennsylvania supplied
the raw materials for energy that fueled
the nation’s industrial growth. Coal
barons dug deep into the ground
and built their fortunes, and their
mansions, in mountain towns with names like Nanticoke,
Ashland and Carbondale.
Time has shown the environmental cost of the coal mining
legacy: abandoned strip mines, acid pollution leaching into
waterways and, in one town, an unquenchable underground fire
that left the landscape above dotted with wisps of smoke
escaping through cracks in scorched earth.
Now, many in the region wonder if history might repeat itself
as a potential new energy source is causing a 21st-century energy
rush.The source of the frenzy is a more than 365-million-yearold rock formation known as Marcellus shale. Experts say it
houses huge quantities of fuel in underground natural gas.
The formation covers at least 95,000 square miles, extending
through upstate New York, across northern and western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and eastern Ohio and eastward to
southwestern Virginia. It holds, scientists say, up to 2.4 quadrillion
cubic feet—and yes, that's quadrillion with a “q”—of recoverable
gas worth more than $1 trillion. It could put a sizable dent in the
nation's dependence on foreign-produced energy sources: One
estimate is that there’s enough natural gas in Pennsylvania alone to
heat all of New Jersey’s homes for 20 years.
That’s enough to provoke an intense debate, says Dr. Ken
Klemow,Wilkes professor of biology and associate director of the
Institute for Energy and Environmental Research of Northeast
Pennsylvania, a new initiative that aims to provide answers to
questions related to Marcellus shale.
“As we’ve seen the public discussion develop, it seems it has
become polarized very quickly. There are some people who
believe that Marcellus shale gas can be extracted with no
environmental damage and no dangers whatsoever. Others
believe drilling and (the extraction method known as) fracking
will inevitably cause ecological damage or disaster,” Klemow
says. “What we would like to do is use our science expertise to
address these issues and determine what the actual risk to the
public is from extracting Marcellus gas.”
According to the Pennsylvania Geological Survey, oil and gas
companies have known about the deposit for at least 75 years. Even
after estimates of its size increased in the 1970s, companies believed
retrieving the gas was too difficult because it was deep underground
and there wasn’t a good way of getting it out of the shale.
Brian Redmond, Wilkes professor of earth and environmental
science, says that’s partly because of how the gas was formed.
“ ’Way back, about 400 million years ago, there was a really large
expanse of ocean where the Marcellus shale is,” he explains.
Organic matter, such as dead plankton, normally sinks to the
bottom of an ocean.A small fraction of the organic matter reaches
the bottom sediment where many creatures recycle it, much like
earthworms do in soil on land. However, at the time the Marcellus
shale was formed, shallow ocean conditions created a broad area of
ocean bottom which was very low in oxygen, killing the bottomdwelling creatures. Because it was not consumed, the organic
matter accumulated in sufficient quantities to give a black color to
what later became shale.
Much later, heat and pressure
created by continental
collisions converted some
of that organic matter
into methane gas which
remained trapped in the
impermeable shale.
The gas is trapped about a
mile down and in relatively
small pockets between the
layers of shale, posing
problems for drillers. To get
at it, the shale must be
broken apart along lines of
weakness called partings,
created when the sediment
layers were deposited. In
addition, obtaining drilling

that allows drillers to drill vertically and then horizontally for
thousands of feet at many different angles looking for gas
pockets. Water under high pressure is used to force open the
layers of the shale.
“What fracking is doing is fracturing.You’re literally fracturing the
Marcellus shale with the very high water pressure, and then putting
sand in to prop [the fractures] open,” Redmond says.“You’re trying
to get as many open as possible so any trapped gas in there will come
out, even though you know you’re not going to get it all.”
Water, sand, pressure—it sounds so benign, the stuff of which
sand castles are made during a lazy day at the beach. But that’s
only part of the picture, Redmond says.
Included in that water is a slew of chemicals: lubricants, some
of them petroleum based, to overcome friction, and biocides to
kill nasty microscopic life. “A lot of it is rather toxic, things you
don’t want to have at the surface,” Redmond says. While the
water is pulsing through the ground, it picks up contaminants,
including heavy metals and high concentrations of salts.
Because the drilling goes below sea level, as long as the water
stays under pressure, it’s unlikely to migrate, Redmond says. But
when pressure is released, it will bubble back up the well as
what’s called flowback. Estimates are that about 20 percent of the
water used in Pennsylvania gas wells will end up that way. That
wouldn’t be a problem if you could be sure that the return water
could be captured and treated, Redmond says. However,
problems with well construction or leaking storage tanks may
lead to contamination from flowback.

Realistically, we
simply CANNOT
AFFORD to have our
fresh surface waters and
aquifers consumed
or contaminated
unnecessarily.
– Don Williams ’78
Another problem
could occur if the
water pressure used
for fracking introduces
pressure into the
aquifers around wells.
Drinking water that
feeds springs and
streams lies at much
shallower depths. It
is separated from the
gas
pockets
by
impermeable rock. Because of the geology of northeastern
Pennsylvania, smaller pockets of methane near the surface could
be released, Redmond says.
“You’d see (methane) gas bubbles coming up in streams…or
up in someone’s well,” he says.
That could make for unhealthy drinking water if the methane
gas is associated with other contaminants. It also could pose a
safety hazard if methane reached high levels, came in contact
with electrical components and sparked, says Brian Oram, a
professional geologist and soil scientist who directs Wilkes’
Center for Environmental Quality.
Oram also heads a key project: a regional water quality
database and a citizen education and outreach program. Baseline
data is needed, he says, because northeastern Pennsylvania relies
on many sources for drinking water, including private and
municipal groundwater wells and reservoirs and other surface
supplies. There are far more unregulated private wells than
regulated water systems.
The Center for Environmental Quality’s Homeowners
Outreach Program offers a free booklet to help private well
owners understand the impacts of Marcellus shale drilling and
other water-quality issues. The booklet can be downloaded by
going to www.wilkes.edu/water. Homeowners are encouraged
to get their water tested and provide the results to the database,
Oram says. Information about how to share results also is
available on the Web site.
Individual well owners have few safeguards, he says. “There’s
not really a clear standard for private well construction and for
some contaminants there are no specific drinking water
standards,” he says. However, wells can be vented for methane
and water can be treated to deal with bacterial contamination.
Wilkes’ new institute will be involved in sophisticated computer
modeling and monitoring of potential impacts to the water
supply and quality, Oram says.
Concerns about drilling in northeast Pennsylvania, have
spawned citizen protests and action by governing bodies.
Don Williams ’78, who earned a Wilkes degree in earth and
environmental science, has been an environmental advocate for
more than a decade. He was recognized in 2008 by the river
conservation group American Rivers for his on-going efforts to
protect the Susquehanna River. He favors a moratorium on
drilling until concerns can be addressed.
“The Marcellus shale formation has been around for over 300
million years and the natural gas is not going anywhere. A
decade ago, the technique currently being used to extract the
gas—horizontal hydrofracturing—did not exist,” Williams says.
“A few decades from now, someone hopefully will have
developed new drilling techniques that do not require millions
of gallons of fresh water and thousands of gallons of toxic
chemicals to extract the gas. Until that day, I support a complete
moratorium on current and future drilling, as it would both

The initial mission of the institute, operated jointly by
Wilkes, King’s College and the non-profit Earth Conservancy,
will be researching issues relating to drilling for natural gas
in Marcellus shale.
Ken Klemow, Wilkes biology professor and the insitute’s
associate director, says U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski approached
Wilkes experts about the possibility of focusing on questions
surrounding shale drilling. Kanjorski was instrumental in
securing the funding.
Institute scientists will work to develop a baseline
database on water quality and supply issues in northeastern
Pennsylvania, computerized mapping of water and drilling
activities and computer modeling of potential impacts of
drilling. An Internet-based clearinghouse will make
information available to the public. The institute’s experts
also will write policy papers on various aspects of drilling
and host public educational forums.
Klemow says he expects the institute will help with current
and future questions raised about gas drilling—from the
environmental impact on forest, plants and wildlife to the
social impact on rural communities to training for emergency
responders. He hopes the institute will also get involved in
other energy-related research, from wind and solar energy to
biomass production.
Independent, unbiased data is what the Marcellus shale
debate needs, Klemow says.

necessitate and accelerate research into developing cleaner
drilling and extraction technologies. Realistically, we simply
cannot afford to have our fresh surface waters and aquifers
consumed or contaminated unnecessarily.”
The Delaware River Basin Commission—concerned because
northeastern Pennsylvania’s underground springs could impact
the source of drinking water for millions downstream—issued a
temporary ban on well drilling in the northern reaches of its
Pennsylvania territory. The multi-state commission has review
rights over large water withdrawals. Guidelines governing gas
drilling were expected from the commission late this fall.
Mishaps at some wells feed environmental concerns. For
example, in June 2010, an explosion at a gas well in rural
Clearfield County spewed natural gas and drilling wastewater
contaminated with toxic chemicals into the air for 16 hours.And
in Dimock Township in Susquehanna County, north of Scranton,
the state Department of Environmental Protection has ordered
Cabot Oil & Gas to pay for the extension of public water to 18
homeowners after residential wells were contaminated with
methane.The company is denying responsibility.
Clayton Bubeck ’96 is an environmental engineer who
works for Rettew Associates in Lancaster, Pa., as a consultant to
natural gas drilling companies. Bubeck says his experience with
the gas drillers has found them both technologically competent
and responsive.
“I can honestly say that, since I’ve been a consultant, I believe
the oil and gas industry is one of the safest I’ve had the
opportunity to work with,” he says. “They really do care about
the environment….They don’t want a smear on their name. If
they have a problem it keeps them from continuing drilling.”
Bubeck says he has already seen a driller respond quickly,
cleaning up a small spill involving a fracking additive from a
tanker truck within 36 hours. He says the companies are treating
and recycling flowback, developing a best-practices plan to
ensure construction design and performance safety, lining well
pads to contain spills and complying with ever-stricter
government standards. He thinks Wilkes new center can make a
real contribution to educate the public and ensure water quality.
He understands that northeast Pennsylvania’s history makes
residents understandably cautious.
“Northeast Pennsylvania has a history of the raping of the
land…. As you drive through the Wilkes-Barre area, you can still
see historic scars from coal mining that everyone has to deal
with,” says Bubeck, whose employer has won awards for efforts
to clean up acid mine drainage.
“When people in northeast Pennsylvania don’t know
something, they’re hesitant to believe in the good.They’re used
to not being told things, and they think if you don’t tell me,
there must be something that you’re hiding from me that’s
bad,” he adds.
“It’s our generation that has to pay for the sins of the past.”

ALUMNI TRAVELED

WILKES | Winter 2010
ANY WILKES ALUMNI MIGHT HAVE A
thing or two to tell today’s students about the
essentials of dormitory living.
For their stays in the Wilkes dormitories, earlier
generations made do with just the basics. Contrast
this with the class of 2014, members of which arrived on campus for
fall semester with enough to furnish a small house.
Paul Purkall, who moved into Sturdevant Hall this fall as a
pharmacy major from South Brunswick, N.J., said he was pretty
comfortable in his setup because he had brought his TV, iPod, cell
phone, laptop, refrigerator, snacks, floor fan, folding chair, clothes
and tools for installing whatever had to be done.The only thing
he forgot was cable wiring for the TV.
When freshman nursing student Haleigh Levitsky of Drums,
Pa., arrived at Evans Hall in August, she was the first child in her
family to go to college.

brought all
the comforts
of home—
from bottled
water to
paper towels.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect,” she says. “So I just figured I
would need the same things I needed when I was at home.”
Here’s what Levitsky brought to create her home away from
home:
Laptop
Flat screen TV
Refrigerator
Microwave
Bottled water
Bulletin board
Bedding and towels
Plastic bin full of toiletries
Duffle bag full of clothes
Under-bed storage boxes
Lots of Ramen noodles
Other frozen foods and snacks
I wasn’t sure what
to expect. So I just
figured I would
need the SAME
THINGS I needed
when I was at
home.
Haleigh Lavitsky gets
ready to unpack her new
microwave in Evans Hall.
Despite the long list, there were a few items she forgot,
she says.
“The big thing was the Ethernet cable for the computer.”
Ah yes, connectivity—a must for today’s students!
In the olden days—meaning the late 1970s and early 80s—
students stayed connected on campus with quarters for the
payphone in the hall and little square relics called postage stamps.
Michael ’82 and Laurie (Cavalla) ’81 Gould of Fredericksburg,
Va., remembered their dorm gear.
Michael played football and knew he would be hungry a lot, so
a mini-refrigerator was important to him. On his 12-inch, blackand-white TV, the gang would watch M*A*S*H and Saturday Night
Live in his Roosevelt Hall room. Other than that, he recalled
bringing just the typical clothes, bedding and bathroom supplies.
The couple has two college-age daughters, and they’ve seen
the generational difference in packing for life away at school.“It’s
almost as though we set them up for an entire apartment; I
needed the roof rack on my SUV,” Gould says.
“Girls seem to put more thought and care into the colors and
decorating of the room,” he says.“We had a set of hanging beads
and some kind of batik, tie-dyed wall tapestry.”
When she entered Wilkes, his wife Laurie wanted to take a big
foot locker full of stuff, but regulations didn’t permit it. So she
brought her things in six milk crates which then became
fashionable bookshelves.

Do you remember what you brought to Wilkes when
you moved in? Share your memories on the Wilkes
University Alumni Association Facebook page.
She took the basic bedding, towels, and clothes; and she was
practical enough to bring an alarm clock. She had no stereo
system, no typewriter (“I used the typing lab.”) And no TV.
“I lived in McClintock Hall. It was a converted mansion with a
huge living room where there was a TV shared by everyone. My
parents said that was good enough, that I should be studying anyway!”
Fifty years ago, during the older olden days, you could call Don
Lewis ’60, a minimalist.
“No one delivered me to campus; I came in my own car from
Rahway, N.J.,” he says. Truth was, its floor was rusted away and
covered with plywood, but Lewis sure looked like a Big Man on
Campus when he drove up in his 1950 red Pontiac convertible.
He was able to fit everything he needed into his closet on wheels.
A pole placed across the back seat held his neatly pressed wardrobe:
a sport coat, a pair of dress slacks, four pairs of new chinos (note, no
blue jeans), half a dozen casual shirts, one white dress shirt, and one
tie. Elsewhere in the car were two pairs of shoes. Other essentials? A
black, manual Smith-Corona typewriter and a leather, zipped
writing case (with those quaint postage stamps).
Now residing in Marin County, Calif., with his wife Connie
(Yahara) Lewis ’60, Lewis said he had no need in the dorm for an
elaborate music system or those newfangled television sets that
were growing in popularity.
“I was warned by a neighbor who had attended college that
there would be plenty of entertainment in the dorms, and
there was.There were parties, a pool table in the main
room downstairs, and other students on the floor
who had radios and stereos.
“There was a real esprit de corps,” he says fondly
about his years in Butler Hall.

CATHERINE GOURLEY ’72, M.S. ’78 FINDS
INSPIRATION IN HISTORY FOR HER 30 BOOKS
14
A
WARD-WINNING AUTHOR CATHERINE
(McCormick) Gourley ’72, M.S. ’78 honors the
writer’s creed that dictates “write what you know,”
with one addendum: “I always follow what
interests me.” Her interests range from Civil War
prison camps to 1840s whaling ships.
Gourley is the author of 30 fiction and non-fiction books,
including three she developed for the popular American Girl
series. Recently her expertise about women’s issues in the 1920s
landed her an interview for “Faces of Feminism,” one of several
HBO documentary-style pieces accompanying the network’s
successful new television series, Boardwalk Empire.
By Rachel Strayer
A Wilkes-Barre native, Gourley taught English at Meyers and
G. A. R. high schools in the city before turning to writing full
time.While her interests are broad, the root of her writing comes
from home. She grew up in a largely Irish family where the
women gathered in the kitchen to tell stories. Gourley also
found inspiration in her working mother, Ruth McCormick,
who first encouraged her to write.
“Here’s an Irish term for you,” she laughs.“Blatherskites!”The
word describes foolish talk or a talkative, silly person. But any
silly talk absorbed in her childhood only fueled Gourley’s interest
in storytelling. She published her first short story,“Breaker Boy,”
dealing with the subject of the boys who worked in northeast
Catherine (McCormick) Gourley, Woodbridge, Va.
B.A., English, 1972, Wilkes
M.S., Education, 1978, Wilkes
Career: Author and teacher. Curriculum author for The Film Foundation and national
program director for Letters About Literature, a program of the Library of Congress.
Notable: Award-winning author of more 30 than fiction and non-fiction books
for children, young adults and adults.
Favorite Wilkes place: The old Wilkes Commons, an outdoor area of large oak
tables where Gourley says there was always “good rock music and coffee.”
“We tend to
think because
IT’S REAL, IT’S
TRUE...But we all
write from a bias.”
young person, to give such a significant gift to their community.”
Gourley also teaches and develops curriculum for Martin
Scorsese’sThe Film Foundation, which focuses on film preservation
and film education in the classroom.The foundation’s project is
The Story of Movies, which introduces classics like Mr. Smith Goes
to Washington and To Kill a Mockingbird to a new generation.
“(We’re) helping students to look beyond entertainment and
understand the art of film,” says Gourley. She adds that she first
developed a taste for classic film when The Manuscript at Wilkes
showed The Seventh Seal on campus. The Manuscript also gave
Gourley her first chance to publish.
“My education at Wilkes has been invaluable for me as a
writer. I was an English major, but I graduated knowing about so
many things beyond my discipline. I think that is why I write the
sort of books I do—social histories that encompass a large canvas
of subjects. Wilkes taught me how to go about exploring these
subjects, how to find the stories I want to tell,” Gourley says.
Gourley’s five-book series on women’s history is an example
of that wide canvas. The Images and Issues ofWomen series explores
how popular culture portrayed women in the 20th Century and
covers everything from cartoon characters like Betty Boop and
Brenda Starr to radio personalities like Gracie Allen and 50s
housewives like Lucille Ball.
The desire to write and to explore has also taken her places.
Gourley went to Moscow and South Africa to speak for Letters
About Literature and to China to teach a class for The Film
Foundation. She has lived in Texas and Chicago, but now resides
with her husband, Dennis Gourley ’72, in Woodbridge,Va. She
comes home often and recently rented a small house in the
Wilkes-Barre neighborhood where she grew up. “I loved
growing up in Wilkes-Barre.This will always be home.”

Pennsylvania’s coal mines, in 1986. It was adapted for National
Public Radio. Her first published book, The Courtship of Joanna,
is a historical novel rooted in Gourley’s German and Irish
immigrant heritage. It was nominated for the Chicago Public
Library’s Carl Sandburg Award and was a finalist for the Jefferson
Cup for excellence in historical fiction.
After several successful publications, Gourley became the editor
of Read magazine. While there, she researched the Andersonville
Prison, a Confederate camp built in 1864 in Georgia for Union
prisoners of war. More than 13,000 of Andersonville’s nearly
45,000 inmates died of starvation and exposure.Years later, Gourley
returned to the subject, exploring in greater detail the story of the
survivors and the camp’s commandant, Capt. Henry Wirz, the only
Confederate officer arrested, tried and executed for war crimes.
Her research took years, and led to her most recent book,
The Horrors of Andersonville: Life and Death inside a Civil War Prison.
Though she knows the story sounds depressing, Gourley
insists that Andersonville is really a story of compassion. “Sadly,
the story has relevance today as we continue to struggle with the
moral issues of how to treat prisoners of war,” Gourley says.
Gourley also is the national program director for Letters About
Literature, a reading and writing promotion program ofThe Center
for the Book in the Library of Congress. Each year, the program
invites students in grades four through 12 to write a personal letter
to an author who has somehow changed their view of the world
or themselves. This past year, 70,000 young readers across the
country sent letters.
In addition to cash
awards, six national winners
each earn the right to
nominate a school or
community library to
receive a $10,000 Reading
Promotion Grant. “The
children get to decide
where the money goes,”
said Gourley, “And that is

George Kolesar ’57 and Nancy
(Carroll) Kolesar ’61, M.S. ’88
Have High-Flying Adventure
When George Kolesar ’57 returned to Las Vegas this
past summer, it wasn’t just to visit the famous strip. He
and his wife, Nancy (Carroll) Kolesar ’61, M.S. ’88, were
special guests of the Air Force Thunderbirds precision
flying team. Kolesar was paying a visit to Nevada’s Nellis
Air Force Base after a 60-year absence. He had been
stationed there in 1950.
The Kolesars watched an abbreviated flyover
demonstration of the red, white and blue F-16C aircraft
used by the flying team. It included the famous Calypso
Pass, in which two pilots fly over the flightline back to
back or belly to belly. They also toured the Thunderbirds
Executive Planning Room and the Thunderbird Hangar.
The Kolesars met on the flightline with Lt. Col. Case
Cunningham, commander of the Thunderbirds, and other
pilots. Nancy Kolesar met Capt. Kristin Hubbard, one of
the Air Force’s few women pilots. Because Kolesar was
stationed at the base during his tour of duty, he was
presented with the demonstration mission flag by
George Kolesar ’57 and
Nancy (Carroll) Kolesar ’61,
M.S. ’88 in the Thunderbirds
Executive Planning Room.
operations officer Lt. Col Derek Routt.
Kolesar notes that many things had changed at the
base since the 1950s. The 100-degree heat is the same,
but instead of fans and salt tablets to combat the heat,
the enlisted men live in air-conditioned barracks.
Las Vegas also has changed: The Flamingo was the sole
casino back in those days. Acre lots nearby sold for
hundreds of dollars. Today there are many casinos and
land on the strip is valued at more than a million dollars,
Kolesar says.

instrumental in maintaining Bucknell University Junior College in Wilkes-Barre
during the Depression years. Because he believed in the service offered to the
young people of the Wyoming Valley, Dr. Marts provided the support and
leadership the fledgling institution needed to become self-sustaining. Dr. Marts
established a trust in 1964, which provided a lifetime income for Mrs. Marts
after his death. Upon her death in 1994, more than $2 million was gifted to the
University, which helped to make possible the addition to campus of the Arnaud
C. Marts Sports and Conference Center.
