Carroll Donald Lape

Carroll graduated from Newmanstown High School with the class of 1949. He was a veteran in the Korean Conflict, where he saw active duty as a radioman in the U.S. Army.

Carroll was well known for having Cal-Pat's Dog Training School in South Lebanon, where he taught many people to train their dogs. He showed his Collie "Laddie" in obedience at many dog shows in the U.S. and Canada. He retired from RCA in Lancaster with 40 years of service and received many awards while working there.

Carroll was the maitre d at the Newmanstown Fire Company for many years. The history of Newmanstown was Carroll's hobby and he knew many of the facts about the town and even had a lot of pictures of the town from long ago. He was a member of the Tulpehocken Settlement Historical Society and a member of Elias United Church of Christ and this was a joy to him, as he was not only an elder, but took care of the Church on a daily basis.
