You visited the Indiana chapter while I was an undergrad (as did Bill Muse).
During the fall of my senior year, Tex Flint visited our chapter and attended a chapter meeting (we all thought he was going to stroke out when he spoke - and screamed). I told him I was a journalism major, and would llike to be editor of The Teke. His next stop was the office in Indy, and he told them about me.
They arranged for me to come to the upcoming NIC meeting in Cincinnatti, for an interview with Melchert and Kolintzas (who by then had replaced Georgeff as Grand Histor).
They gave me the job, starting in June '65, got married in Aug. '65, and spent my honeymoon at the Conclave in Toronto. The salary was the best of any IU journalism major that year - $500/mo. I edited eight or nine issues, produced a Bill Muse-written Teke Guide, a George Woolery-written PR manual, and lots of other manuals, and helped with the script Ronald Reagan read in the first Teke movie.
After hiring, they sent me to Portland to meet Jack Ostergren, who was the part-time editor. I think Jack called Georgeff while I was there, but we never met.
Left in the summer of '67 and have been basicly self-employed ever since. Have been in the Atlanta area since 1969, heavily involved in soccer since kids began playing in the '80s.
