Dick led the A’s for 32 years (1970-2001) compiling a coaching record achieved by only a select few individuals at any level of competition in any sport: 630 wins, 416 losses. His leadership produced four Berks County Legion Baseball Divisional Titles, one Berks County Legion Baseball Championship, nine trips to the State Legion Baseball Regional Championships, three State Legion Baseball Tournament Appearances, one State Legion State Championship and one Mid-Atlantic Legion regional appearance. Prior to his career at Muhlenburg, Dick coached Mechanicsburg Teener Baseball from 1959-1964 and the Temple Youth 13-15 year old baseball team from 1965-1969. But far and away his greatest impact was that which he had on all those around him. Dick had intensity, a love and a passion for the game of baseball. He shared that with everyone he touched. But the lessons he taught the young men who played for the Muhlenberg A’s have had, and will continue to have, a more long-lasting effect than Dick could ever have imagined. Dick took coaching personally. Wins and losses were important. But more important were the values he demonstrated each and every day. Work hard. Give it everything you have. Treat people with respect. That was Dick. He lived his life focused on what’s right…not who’s right. During Dick’s career he was honored on many occasions for his outstanding and selfless service to the youth of the community. In 1984 he was the recipient of the “Service Above Self Award” by the Rotary Club; in 1986 he was inducted into the American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame; in 1994 received the Chapel of Four Chaplains Legion of Honor Award; and in 1999 received commendations from Senator Michael O’Pake, Congressman Tim Holden and State Representative Dante Santoni for his 30 years of loyalty and dedication to the Muhlenberg’s A Baseball Team and had the Muhlenberg School Board rename its baseball diamond the “Dick Gochnauer Field”. Dick was employed by the Muhlenberg School District. With his wife, Ada, he had two children, Rick and Robin. There are five grandchildren. Generations of baseball players in the Muhlenberg Area owe a debt of gratitude to this man who diligently worked to ensure that every one of his players developed their baseball abilities and realized their full potentials as human beings. Henry Fry Class of ‘55 Achievement In A Chosen Field Always a good student and member of the Torch staff and Chess Club, Henry Fry graduated from Mechanicsburg High School and went on to Harvard to continue his studies. However, when his father died in 1959 Henry came home to run the family business, “The Shoppers Guide”. At that point the business was located in Dillsburg, but later that year, he bought the “Daily Local News” from J.A. Bushman in Mechanicsburg and moved the businesses together. In 1973 they outgrew the 5000 sq. ft. building on West Main Street and bought land at the west end of Mechanicsburg, near the football field. Their initial 16,000 sq. ft. building has multiplied many times and is still used as the business headquarters. They have also built and acquired other buildings in the Mechanicsburg area. Today his business has over 1,200 employees and is one of the largest independently owned printing businesses in the country. The business specializes in printing magazines and catalogs. They are highly automated and embrace new technology at every turn. The business has an enviable reputation for quality and reliability. They continue to do a small amount of work for the federal government, which gave them their original impetus. The business continues to publish their original paper, now called “The Guide News. ”Henry has been married to Betty Louise Kintz Fry for 41 years. They have three sons, Greg, Eric and David. Eric is also in the family business. They have 6 grandchildren, two of whom are also in the business and two great grandchildren. William L. Sunday Class of ‘42 Achievement In A Chosen Field William L. Sunday received a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1948. He graduated from the Dickinson School of Law in 1950 and became a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association in 1951. Bill started practicing law in 1951. He specializes in municipal law, wills, trusts, estate planning and taxes. Bill has been a member of the Cumberland County Bar Association since 1951 and was the President in 1977. He was a Cumberland Following high school graduation, John Ent enlisted in the United States Army Infantry and was deployed to the Korean War. He was wounded there and received the Purple Heart. In 1970 he was stationed in Chu Lai, Vietnam and later stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, working for the US Army European Command. He retired from service as Lt. Colonel and later in 1996 retired from the US Postal Service. About five years ago, John wondered if there existed any kind of record of the names of fellow Mechanicsburg Area High School graduates who served in World War II. He decided to look into it and after searching he learned that there was no such record. For the next three years he worked tirelessly researching, interviewing and compiling information for the sole purpose of creating a lasting record and acknowledgement Hall of Fame… G U I D E L I N E S of the men and women who attended Mechanicsburg High School and served in the armed forces during WWII. The results of his efforts, is the book he published himself called “Heroes Among Us”. On June 6, 2004, John held an event at the Simpson Public Library in which he invited all of the people from the book to come and sign each of five copies to be donated to the Cumberland County Historical Society, the Mechanicsburg Museum Association, the Mechanicsburg Area School District, the Simpson Public Library and the Army War College in Carlisle. John’s hobbies include traveling with his wife of 56 years, Mary Jane Rider Ent, ‘49, reading, WWII history, woodworking and home improvement projects. John has two daughters, Deborah Ent Hoffman, ’67, and Melanie Ent Fisher, ’78. He has four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. John Ent’s book, “Heroes Among Us” is evidence of his loyalty to our alumni with the stories of the men and women who attended Mechanicsburg High School and served our country in WWII. Knowing the sacrifices these men and women made, his book will live on for generations and make us proud to be part of Mechanicsburg High School’s history.

Mentors and buddies met four times a week and participate in activities encouraging one-onone and group interaction, social skills, problem solving ability and perseverance. Activities included community service projects along with field trips to museums and the capital. In 2004 this program was under the supervision of Amy Albert, high school teacher. Her proudest moment was watching the confidence of the eight youths grow daily. The goal of the program was to improve selfesteem and decision making among the Middle School students who finish the six-week program. This new program, one of many, was funded by the Wildcat Foundation and MASD.
