I have a copy of this document. TKE Headquarters was sent the original by Wally Ginn, surviving founder. Ginn has been active in
TKE all these years, although many years abroad in Germany and in England. He holds scroll #1, Gamma Tau (U of Denver) and is active at this time, 28 Apr 2004, in the Denver Alumni Chapter.
At the Sep 1-4 Conclave, 1959, held at the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit, a convening of the Knights and a luncheon brought forth a motion by Tex Flint, seconded by Leland F Leland
that Erik P Conard be recognized as the Official Historian for the Knights of Apollo. This was voted upon and passed unanimously.
