CASINO IS NOT APPROPRIATE I just recently read about Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s plans to build a casino, hotel, and retail complex on the former Bethlehem Steel site on the South Side. It made me very unhappy. I don’t think it is at all appropriate. It is too bad the city of Bethlehem didn’t move to stop such a plan. The area around a university town should not include a casino. I am sure many other alumni from Lehigh and Moravian would agree with me. Mary Jane Capozzoli Ingui ’85G EMBARRASSING ERROR I could not believe my eyes! When reading the “Hats Off to Lehigh” caption, I realized that you misspelled the name of the man whose estate donated “the single largest gift in Lehigh history.” I could spend several minutes reproving you for this, but what’s the point? Once you realized, I’m sure you felt badly enough. I will be interested to read how you recover from this very embarrassing error. Cindy Sowinski, MBA ’00 ONE “L-ISH” MISTAKE I was somewhat dismayed when I opened to the ﬁrst page of the Spring 2008 Alumni Bulletin. Maybe it was my fine engineering education that made me a stickler for accuracy in the details, but I was troubled to see the name of one of Lehigh’s greatest benefactors misspelled in the photo caption. I do not envy the one responsible for that copyediting gaffe, but that was one “L-ish” mistake. I believe the Alumni Bulletin staff has raised our expectations for perfection in your editorial skills. While I cannot recall any other typographical errors I have ever noticed, this was an unfortunate one. (I think there is a backhanded compliment in there somewhere.) Rev. Robert J. Rentler ’79 EDITOR’S NOTE: We appreciate Rev. Rentler’s compliment, backhanded or otherwise. We clearly fell well short of perfection in allowing a typographical error to appear in the item regarding Donald B. Stabler ’30, ’32G. We regret the error. fall 2008 3 PHOTO BY DOUGLAS BENEDICT http://www.lehigh.edu/alumni
