Field reps
the late Wilson Heller called us all "fielders." Like previously said,
they were not all chapter presidents or pledge trainers. And they
did not all come from top chapters. We had no formal interviews,
and I guess we were selected by "gut feeling."
The experience is one of a lifetime; two years is a good hitch,
as in the first you are just beginning to learn and by the end of
the second, you are kinda burned out. I do not know of ANYTHING of a training nature any better.
I met some real sharp fielders, and think Sig Ep had some real
keen guys on the road, but they were somewhat restricted by a
controlling HQ.
Yep, it was fun...and while motels look a lot alike and you do not
always know where you are...well, the other aspects far shadow
the paper work and the long drives.
It is nigh on fifty years now...and I still talk about those days.
The warmth, the fraternalism, the pride...will remain with you always...you only got one shot at it...so go for it! Good luck from
an old Teke who helped train lots of younger ones...
