At 99 years old, Major General Eric Schwenker (BSME 1947) still rode his motorcycle every day and volunteered as a handyman. This legendary Purdue alumnus shared his experiences in World War II, his work establishing a refrigerator empire, and becoming the first (and only) 75-year member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
