lol...

Yep, Reagan was the prime example of a TKE...

We hear so much of President Reagans days in the White House... He regularly attended TKE national events, visited houses, had Tekes over at the White House regularly, greeted Tekes first whenever he went to different places to visit and even had a badge on him most of the time...

Theres a great story about how a Teke came into the White House with his wife - Ronald asked if she had been properly pinned... The Teke responded that he had not properly pinned her...

So Reagan reached somewhere and pulled out a badge, got on his knee, and sung the TKE Sweetheart song to her...

Life long example...

When he died, TKE National Officers and many many others attended memorial services...
and my Chapter president and Vice President were present at a special reception sometime after that at the Ranch here in California...

Every Teke across the nation wore a black ribbon under their badge for 14 days - a custom of ours when a Frater enters the Chapter Eternal...
