Trinity inducts its newest Distinguished Alumni this 2024 school year. This year’s inductees are Donna Guthrie, John B. Stavovy Jr., Dr. Joseph Losko and Peter Cameron.
Donna Guthrie graduated from Trinity in 1964.
She is best known for her writing in its many forms: short plays, personal essays, magazine articles and newspapers.
Guthrie obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from Rider College in New Jersey in 1968. After her graduation, she went into teaching where she met her husband, Mike Guthrie.
Eventually Guthrie returned to college to obtain a master’s in children and young adult writing, this time from the University of Vermont. It was at this point that Guthrie could truly pursue a career from her passion and talent for writing.
Guthrie has authored 23 books and 60 educational videos, started the podcast “Looking Back on Music Now” and co-founded the Rocky Mountain Women Film Festival.
John B. Stavovy Jr., graduated from Trinity High School in 1966, and West Liberty University in 1971.
After college, Stavovy enlisted into the PA Army National Guard as an aircraft mechanic. This led him to follow a career in the armed forces where he served as Aero Scout Platoon Leader as First Lieutenant and Operations Officer for the 1-104th Air Cavalry Battalion, and was eventually promoted to Colonel of the 28th Aviation Brigade 28th ID, and later to Brigader General of the PA Army National Guard.
Stavovy co-founded the family-owned and operated custom home company Mesa Wood Ltd. in 1979. His talent and dedication in the field of home construction culminated in Stavovy’s time as president of the Washington County Homebuilders Association.
West Liberty University’s first scholarship for veterans was established by Stavovy, and he also served a 10-year period on Trinity’s School Board.
Stavovy is married to Marcia Stavovy with whom he founded Mesa Wood Ltd. Their children, Hilary, Paul, Mitchell and Andrea, are all Trinity graduates.
Dr. Joseph Losko graduated from Trinity in 1992. He is a member of the Environmental, Health, Safety (EHS); the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP); and the American Society of Healthcare Engineers.
Losko attended Slippery Rock University to receive his undergraduate degree; he later received a Master’s in Business from Waynesburg University and his Doctoral degree in Information Systems from Robert Morris University.
As a member of EHS, Losko has maintained environmental safety standards for the Zinc Corporation of America, UPMC Presbyterian/University of Pittsburgh Physicians, and for Mylan Pharmaceuticals.
Losko currently serves as a consultant to multiple organizations on environmental safety and remains passionate about helping to maintain environmental and healthcare compliance.
Outside of work, Losko is Scout Master for Troop #1315 and frequently volunteers for Eagle Scout projects. He has traveled with the scouts to the Florida Keys; Bechtel, WV; Fort Steuben, OH; and Heritage, PA.
Losko is married to Jillene Losko and together they have one daughter, Junior Sarah Losko, and one son, Zach, 2024 Trinity graduate.
Peter Cameron, a 1975 Trinity graduate, started his career in corporate manufacturing at Muskingum University.
After his post-secondary schooling, Cameron worked for Cameron Coca-Cola, the second longest running Coke bottling company in the nation, established in 1889. This experience led Cameron to success in his own business, Commerce Street LLC.
One of Cameron’s most significant achievements in his lifetime was opening the Center on Strawberry, a community center that provides a workplace for local nonprofits.
Cameron has also served the community as a member of the Trinity School Board.
Cameron has eight grandchildren, four of which attend Trinity.
Trinity’s 2024-25 Distinguished Alumni, Donna Guthrie, John B. Stavovy Jr., Dr. Joseph Losko and Peter Cameron, have each left a distinguished, positive mark on their community and have contributed to Trinity legacy of success.
