Lawrence Sometime during his freshman year here at Penn State Marcel Carter, known to everyone as Marty, was stricken with cancer. After a long, brave fight, Marcel died at the University of Pennsylvania hospital on January 30, 1993, surrounded by his family and their love. : This was not a fight that Marty lost. On the contrary, he refused to let the cancer win, and it never did. Though it pained his body, it never succeeded in conquering his mind and spirit. Through the whole ordeal Marcel never lost that light - that made him “Marty”. He refused to let anyone feel sad for him and continued to enlighten his friends and family to the last. Marcel Carter was born October 12,1971 to Larcine and James Carter in the city of Philadelphia. He graduated from Lamberton High School in Philadelphia. Marcel was the recepient of funds raised in his name last May in a basketball tournament ‘sponsored by the Black Student League. According to BSL President Adolph Sanna, "We hope to continue the basketball tournament in Marcel's name and use the funds raised for charity." : Marcel is survived by his mother Larcine; father James; two brothers Anthony and Timothy; a maternal grandmother, Agnes Richardson-Witherspoon; a paternal grandmother Bessie L. Carter ; a niece ; a host of aunts, uncles, and many, many. friends. He will be greatly missed. “You can cry now" were the last words of Marcel Carter Poem in Marcel's Funeral Program God saw the road was getting rough The hills were hard to climb; He gently closed those loving eyes And whispered “Peace be thine” ' The weary hours, the days of pain The sleepless nights are past; The ever patient worn out frame Has found sweet rest at last. Consider: only one bullet in ten thousand kills a man. Ask: Was so much expenditure justified on the death of one so young , so silly. Streched under the olive trees, oh, ‘would, oh, Death? (1939) ‘Regum ultimo ratio’ Stephan Spender & John Lehmann(eds.) Poems for Spain Christopher R. Barrett By B.A. Feick “Creative,” “individualistic,” and “ enthusiastic,” were some of the words used to describe Chris Barrett, a second semester student freshman at PSU Delco, who died February 13 after a long heart illness. “Chris liked reading mystery stories and writing his own short stories. He was working on a screenplay for a video we were going to film together,” said Diana Miceri, President of Adult Student Organization. Chris was also known for being a dedicated Trekkie. He collected Star Trek paraphernalia and owned a uniform which he once wore to class. Emily Damanskis, who attended a theater class with Chris last semester and worked on a project with him, remembers him as a “creative student who always wore cowboy boots and enjoyed collecting of unusual weapons, like a bow and a cane with a blade at the end. He called himself ‘Trigger’,” Sandy Tutten remembers that he stood out in her Western Heritage class this semester, even though she only knew him for a month. “He was a lovely person,” she said recently. “I only saw him for class one night a week, but I miss him already. He had told me of his four heart surgeries. He was confident that his heart problem was fixed and that he would live a long life.” Chris, a 1992 graduate of Ridley High School, was active in the school band and won the 1992 Keystone Award for his short story writing. PSU freshman Eric Ruef remembers him at Ridley as a quiet, but outstanding student. “The English teachers praised him all of the time. He was famous for his writing.” i : His writing is complete now. It will be an everlasting reminder of a great young talent who is no longer with us.
