Golden Book
This was a super question...NOW the rest of the story.
There were TEN golden books done by Pete Leland of the
Leland Publishers, and the rest were red, and commonly
called "Golden Book" to refer to the anniversary, not the color.
Each new TKE chapter would be presented a copy of the
TKE Golden Book to be placed in their college library. So,
if you cannot find one, check your college library.
As to the ten Golden ones, I think the Grand Coucil got some,
and I know Dick Hall got one. Dick had signatures of the
prominent Tekes in his, and since I bought one from HQ, I
did the same, but by the time I got around getting signatures,
Jimmie Love and Wallace Macauley had died. Many of you
have signed my book, which I still have.
Dick Hall got carried away at Zeta Iota "Canadian Alpha" one
night and gave them his gold Golden Book. The chapter is
now gone and so far as I know no one has tried to trace it.
My Golden Book is the only one full of early TKE signatures
I have been asked to donate or will it to the TKE Archives.
What archives? The so-called archives is in such a shambles
that not even Jim Kane would tackle that project. I am not trying
to blame anyone...there was a period when these things were
not important to TKE...in time, they will be.
So, there were gold Golden Books commemorating the Golden
Anniversary of TKE, ten of them, the rest red. YITB, Erik Conard
