New Lifetime Vickroy Associates

Donna Gladhill Winch ’72

Donna Winch parlayed her LVC Music Education degree and a Penn State University certificate into a successful teaching career in the Dover Area School District and Susquehanna Township School District, where she taught Vocal Music for over 30 years.

She remains firmly connected to The Valley through frequent gatherings of the “LVC Lunch Bunch,” a group of 20-25 Music alumni and participants from the Classes of 1971–1975 who have met several times each year for decades.

This loyalty to her alma mater extends to her generosity. Winch established The Donna Gladhill Winch ’72 Endowed Scholarship and The Donna Gladhill Winch ’72 Annual Scholarship, which provides financial assistance to Music Education or Physical Therapy majors with good character and financial need. She is a major contributor to the Blair Music Center through construction improvements, including technology enhancements.

Winch and her late husband, Walter L. Winch, have two children, Ashley and Tyler Winch and two grandchildren, Camden and Sloane.

Michael E. Morrison ’71 and Karen A. Morrison

Michael Morrison ’71 was one of three brothers, Laurence ’70 and William ’73, who graduated from The Valley. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Biology from LVC, Mike worked as a Cancer Research Technician at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. He combined his passion for science and business, embarking on a 35+-year career in medical marketing, retiring in 2009 as Director of Marketing for Abbott Laboratories.

Michael was a four-year letterman as a defensive back on the Dutchmen Football squad, a Kalo brother, and a Track & Field Team member. He and his wife, Karen, have two sons and love to travel globally from their home in Overland Park, Kansas.

The Morrisons have strongly supported The Morrison/Hamelehle Scholarship Fund for science majors. The scholarship was established at LVC by their cousin, Katherine Hamelehle, in 1997 in honor of Michael’s older brother, Laurence “Larry” Morrison ’70, who died in 1983 at age 34 due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis.

They have supported the College’s Nursing Education Facility, the Arnold Health Professions Building, and the annual Blue and White Golf Classic, which benefits Flying Dutchmen Athletics.

Moser accepted a research position at Hercules Inc. in Wilmington, Del. When Eastman Chemical Co. purchased part of the Hercules business, he moved to Tennessee to continue his career before retiring in 2004. Moser finished his career studying and modifying rosin, fatty acids, and terpenes, enabling the development of products that served multiple industries.

At his alma mater, Mary Ellen and Glenn established the Dr. Glenn A. Moser ’65 Chemistry Research Fund in 1999 to help fund student and faculty research and bring scientists to campus to exchange research and professional ideas.

Kimberly E. Ritrievi and Darren V. Tilden

Dr. Ritrievi, President of The Ritrievi Group LLC, and Darryn Tilden were inspired to support LVC in tribute to her parents, Dr. Gail G. Edgar Ritrievi ’54, and the late Frank A.

Gail, Student Government President her senior year, played Basketball and Field Hockey and taught in the Cumberland Valley and Neshaminy school districts.

Dr. Kimberly Ritrievi embraced her parents’ love of education, earning a bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University and a master’s (Management) and doctorate (Chemical Engineering) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is and has been on various boards and advisory councils at Princeton University, MIT, Harvard University, and the Wellesley Centers for Women, and serves on two public company boards, including Mativ, as Board Chair, and Tetra Tech.
