In his junior year of high school, Mr. Edward Lutz helped establish the first printing program at Baldwin High School. After serving as an apprentice at Reliable Printing Company, he started K&L Printing while still a student at Carnegie Institute of Technology. In 1967, Mr. Lutz founded the first computer typesetting business in Pittsburgh, Cold Comp. Inc., where he worked until he retired in 1994. The sports library he started at Baldwin High (which contained many books for which he personally set type) was renamed the Lutz Sports Library in 1991. Mr. Lutz has served and volunteered for many organizations, including Little Sisters of the Poor, Special Olympics, Baldwin-Whitehall Athletic Booster Association, and Lee Memorial Hospital (in Ft. Myers, FL.).

Lutz graduated from BHS in 1959 and was inducted into the Distinguished Highlander Hall of Fame in 2017. A pillar of the community, Lutz’s contribution to Baldwin continues to live on. Read more in his obituary here.
