1689
“In 1989, I retired from active duty as a general and accepted an appointment as a tenured full professor of liberal arts at Boston University, presenting courses in U.S. national security and Latin American affairs. During this second career, I also served pro bono as the president’s chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission, responsible for commemorating overseas the service of the armed forces. This also included construction of the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. “My third career is now serving as a volunteer reader to the local second grade students. Through all, I have been ably supported by my wife, Gennie, four sons and their families, nine grandsons and one great-grandson.”
Katherine Ballengee OPC ’97, James M. Ballengee Hon. 1689, S. Lindsay Ballengee OPC ’99 and Bruce MacCullough Hon. 1689 volunteered over the holidays to serve lunch at Broad Street Ministry.

1951 Fred F. Woerner Jr. writes, “After graduating from Penn Charter, I attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the regular Army. Initial training included infantry, ranger and parachute. My subsequent 35-year career was divided between traditional soldiering and specialization in United States-Latin American military relations. I received an MA in Latin American studies from the University of Arizona. Overseas assignments were served in Vietnam, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and Uruguay. continued at top
Frank F. Embick Jr. writes, “I marvel at the vigor and growth at Penn Charter and only wish I could observe it firsthand. I miss the classmates but enjoy hearing about them in Penn Charter magazine. Anna and I enjoy living in the condo, for the most part, and are looking forward to some exotic trips this year to celebrate our 50th anniversary.”
