As far as I know Wilbert Shenk has retired. I never had him for a class, but saw him around campus more than many others. He was always there early in the morning (like me). I heard he is related to Dave Augsburger (cousin ?) but as best as I can tell, the are distinctively different personalities. God bless you Wilbert. Merry Christmas ! 12/14/11
