An odd regret for a man who has regularly prepared and overseen a $4.2 million budget.
But it was his struggles in that course early in his time at Moravian College that convinced Roy Seiple, a West Easton kid who graduated in 1973 from Wilson Area High School, to change direction.
He gave up business and tried criminal justice.
Among his classmates? Former Allentown police chief and current Lehigh County Sheriff Joe Hanna. Long-time Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli was another Class of 1977 graduate of the soon-to-be Bethlehem university.
