At 99, Mining Alum Remembers the UA in the 1920s
By Ed Stiles, College of Engineering
Robert Lenon, who graduated from The University of Arizona in 1930, came to Arizona just as it became a state and eventually roamed the desert, making a living by mining, surveying, buying and transporting ore and doing just about anything else that was mining or survey related.
His career began just months before the Great Depression and continued for many decades, including consulting work until just a few years ago.
Lenon went to France and Okinawa with the Army Engineers during World War II, moved to Patagonia, Ariz., after the war, and turned 99 on Nov. 1 – making him possibly the oldest living UA engineering alum.
Lenon and his wife, Naomi, still live in Patagonia, just 12 miles north of the Mowry Mine, where he took a surveying course that earned him the last three units he needed for his degree in 1929.
