Edward Gutleber, Jr and Rebecca Noriega
Edward Gutleber, Jr. and Rebecca Noriega were married on 11/11/23 in Escondido, CA.
Despite overlapping for 2 years as undergrads, Rebecca and Eddie didn’t meet until July 2013 after they both graduated. They were introduced by mutual friends who were dating at the time and are now married themselves – both fellow Adelphi alum – Edward Frederick ’11 and Jessica Frederick ’12 (then Jessica Alvarez).
Eddie was super involved on campus. He was a RA for 2 years in Waldo Hall and an Orientation Leader for Summers 2009 and 2010. He was also VP of his fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa for 2 years.
Rebecca was not as involved, focusing much more on her grades -probably why she graduated Cum Laude.
On their first dates they joked and shared laughs about their different Adelphi experiences and it was then Rebecca remembered that Eddie was a part of a funny and memorable skit as an OL during her Freshman Orientation.
Currently, Eddie is an aspiring sports agent working for Premier Talent Sports and Entertainment. While Becky is amidst a masters program in social work at San Diego State University.
They made their big move to California in 2019- which was more of a homecoming for Becky who was born and raised in Buena Park, CA. They now live in Carlsbad, CA with their pets Billie, a pitbull mix and Chile, a chinchilla.
Lour Flego ’55 and Sue Crandell ’55
Lou Flego and Sue Crandell were classmates at Hempstead High School (Class of 1951). They had been in several classes together and had exchanged smiles and glances, but had not dated. Lou was a 3 letter man (varsity football, basketball, baseball) and quarterback on the football team. Sue was a cheerleader and later, class valedictorian. After the team lost its first game of the 1950 season, Lou, (along with 2 pals brought along for moral support), came to Sue’s house unannounced to ask her out for hamburgers. That evening was the beginning of it all! (During that year four players on the football team dated four cheerleaders. All four couples later married and are still together 74 years after they met!) Lou received a football scholarship to Adelphi. Sue spent her first year of college at Swarthmore, but transferred to Adelphi to be with Lou the beginning of sophomore year. Lou played football, lacrosse, squash, golf and basketball for Adelphi. Sue became co-captain of the Adelphi cheerleaders and cheered for him. Sue was elected Co-President of Class of 1955. Lou was elected Class of 1955 Treasurer. Three days after graduation they were married on June 18, 1955. Two years with the USMC, raising three sons, careers in education, second careers teaching square dance and line dance……and the rest is history!
