Bob's bio from Kutztown University's website:



Robert Muschlitz was a member of the football team from 1961-64. Nicknamed “Bethlehem Bobby”, Muschlitz played every game of his collegiate career as a fullback and a halfback. Muschlitz was named MVP of the Homecoming football game as a freshman.

He was the team MVP following his sophomore, junior and senior years. One of the “Touchdown Twins” during his time at KU, Muschlitz led the team in rushing from 1962-64. He was selected as the starting fullback in the Gem Bowl, a small-college all-star game for players from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.

In addition to playing football, Muschlitz, was a member of the “Statesmen”, the KSC Dance Band, Resident Men’s Association and the Freshman Customs Committee. Muschlitz served as the head football coach at Solanco and was an assistant coach at Franklin & Marshall College, which won a fourth consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference Southern Division Championship.

Following his graduation from Kutztown, Muschlitz taught special education classes at Solanco High School and he developed an intergenerational program for “at risk” students. His “Generations Together” program was highly regarded and was awarded the Pennsylvania state “Service Learning Award” for the Solanco School District. He won the Employee of the Year Award from the Solanco School District for the 1997-98 school year. Muschlitz, who received his degree in elementary education and special education, is married with two children. He earned his masters degree from Temple U in 1977.
