Rev. Robert Lescallette
Rev. Robert Lescallette,
the forty-second pastor--of
St. John's Lutheran Church
in Maytown, came here
directly after graduating
from Gettysburg Seminary.
It has been customary. he
savs, for the Maytown
church to be the first charge
in the careers of its
ministers.
Before coming here he
served his vicarage at Salem
Lutheran in Lebanon, a very
large church. As part of his
theological training he stud-
ied at St. Paul's College in
Washington, D.C., and took
courses at Catholic Univers-
itv.
Rev Lescallette was born
in Harrisburg and grew up
in Paxtang, a suburb of
Harrisburg. His father a
civil engineer and vice-pres-
ident of a construction
company, was from Pitts-
burgh. Rev. Lescallette’s
mother, however, was a
native of Harrisburg.
Rev. Lescallete has a
sister, Diane, who is
married to Dr. Emerson
Knight, a urologist now
serving in the Air Force.
Mrs Knight was a nurse at
Polyclinic Hospital in Har-
risburg when she met her
future husband. The
Knights have a son, Mich-
ael.
Dr. Knight, a native of
Penryn, PA, would like to
practice his specialty of
urology in Lancaster Count-
y, if possible, when he
leaves the Air Force soon.
Rev. Robert Lescallette
Robert Lescallette’s de-
cision to become a minister
was ‘‘a gradual realization
of the pieces of a puzzle
beginning to fit together.”’
He was graduated front
Central Dauphin East High
School, then attended Dick-
inson College. His third year
in college he studied at the
University. of Bologna in
Italy, one of the oldest, if not
the oldest university in the
world. While studying in
Italy he lived with an Italian
family, and. before he
returned to the U.S. he got
to see a great deal of
Europe.
In college he majored in
political science and was
thinking of entering the
foreign service. He took and
passed the examination for
the foreign service, but
getting into the foreign
service is a very long
process. As further prepar-
ation for his chosen career,
Lescallette, applied to enter
and was accepted at the law
school of American Univers-
ity in Washington, D.C.
About this time, the war
in Vietnam was being
de-escalated, but young
men were still being
drafted; Lescallette had a
rather early number in the
lottery, and, instead of
waiting to be drafted, he
enlisted in the Air Force. In
the Air Force he became a
medical administration spe-
cialist, stationed at Andrews
Air Force Base. In the Air
Force, Lescallette had time
to think. He also had some
conversations
