Anthony Paskevich, 1966 (Lacrosse)
Tony Paskevich, a two-time lacrosse letterwinner (1965-66), earned a B.A. in literature in 1966 and an architecture degree in 1972. He served as captain for several games during the 1966 season and received the most improved player award that year.
After receiving his degree from SU, Paskevich was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served in Vietnam from 1968-69 and was honored with the Navy Cross in 1973 for heroic action in 1969 as a helicopter pilot. The unit he was to support was pinned down in a rice paddy under heavy fire. He fired rockets and machine guns at the enemy and landed to evacuate a wounded Marine. Over a four-hour period, he rearmed and refueled seven times, and landed under fire three other times to evacuate three more seriously wounded Marines. He also took out machine-gun and anti-aircraft emplacements. After becoming a registered architect in the state of Ohio in 1976, he co-founded Studio Seven, which became Anthony Paskevich & Associates Architects in 1980. He is president and principal architect of Anthony Paskevich & Associates, a 10-person architectural firm in Cleveland.
At SU, Paskevich was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
He volunteers with and contributes to the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, the Cleveland Kidney Foundation and Geauga Veterans Memorial. He also supports The Russell Historical Society, Adirondack Heritage Foundation, Marine Corps Memorial Foundation and Marine Corps Museum and Chapel.
