Greatest Tekes--deceased
 

there are many great TKEs, those who have gone to the Chapter Eternal, many characters of sorts...but who made up the warp and woof of the mediocre outfit which grew to greatness. There are several, my selections include:
James Clifford Logan--who shoved Teke into the teachers colleges when the big schools and NIC would not give us the time of day...he foresaw the teachers colleges becoming universities with the addition of a business school....
Harrold Pierce Flint--Tex--who survived near-expulsion to stay
active and to become a much beloved frater in later years
Richard Russell Hall--and early fielder, a bear of a man, 6-4,
who lived and breathed TKE. Booze got him, but he was never
topped in his warmth and caring, and his ability to get results has never been challenged.
James Thomas Kane--who stayed with the club despite tough times personally, many personal defeats, and who surfaced each time stronger and was loved by many.
Edward John Georgeff--who was unceremoniously dumped in a political move, but who was without peer in his foresight of the
TKE extension, planning, and continued growth.
I am sure there are more, and each of us had favorites, not wanting to take those away, either. This fraternity has had a grand history, courageous and upright men, fraters all.

Tex
 

In his latter years, Tex Flint took an annual trip (from Delaware, OH, to Bloomington or somewhere, and he apparently stopped at various chapters during his trips.

During my senior year, he arrived at my chapter on the day we were having our chapter meeting.

At the end of the meeting, he stood up and gave a long, thundering speech, mostly scaring us young 'uns. We feared he would stroke out on us.

I don't know how that skinny guy could thunder so loudly - he was memorable.

I also met Georgeff after his TKE days ended. He seemed most proud of his personally signing each new member's Membership Certificate (several thousand of them per year) - no printed signatures during his term as GG. Certainly seemed like a waste to me - no one could tell.

Who are the greates TKE's still living?

Greatest Tekes still living
 

Ronald Reagan of course. He was very important in me making my decision going Teke. He's a great man and leader.
