Lehigh honors memory of
Jennifer Grider and Mary Orlando
by Rich Harry
First atop South
Mountain and then in Packer
Chapel, faculty, staff and
students joined with
members of the community
Oct. 12, in honoring the
memory of two Bethlehem
teenagers slain June 29 at
the lookout.
An autumn flowering
cherry tree — pink ribbons
attached to its branches —
was dedicated beneath a
clear blue sky to the memory
of Jennifer Grider, 17 and
Mary Orlando, 15.
A memorial mass in
Packer Chapel followed.
"Lehigh is a part of this
community, and the
community has suffered an
enormous tragedy*" said
President Peter Likins, who
gave a momento to each of
the Grider and Orlando
families during the mass.
"It was important to
make a statement that we
share in the grief. It was
important that we do it when
The Rev. Alfred Schlert, Catholic chaplain and director of Lehigh's Newman Center, blessed the
newly planted cherry tree during a dedication service on Lower Sayer Park Road. Photo by John Kish iv
our students had returned,
and it was important to me
that the Lehigh choir was
able to participate," Likins
said.
Also participating in the
mass was Bethlehem Mayor
Ken Smith '61; Lehigh
Chaplain Lloyd Steffen;
Rev. Alfred Schlert,
Catholic chaplain and
director of the Newman
Center; and Monsignor
Michael Chaback of Ss. Cyril
and Methodius Catholic
Church, Bethlehem.
"We extend the
sympathies of this university
to the families of Jennifer
and Mary," Steffen told
about 150 people who
attended the mass. "We join
in their hope that justice will
be served in the days ahead."
"This is a truly beautiful
site, forever scarred by death.
This tree is a remembrance
that good triumphs over evil,"
said Rev. Schlert .
