Looking back...
it was in 1959, my last year on the road for TKE, I was visiting
with Harrold Pierce "Tex" Flint...we were both at Beta Rho at the
U of Akron, one of our favorites....
we were talking to a bunch of undergrads...Chuck Evans was the
prytanis...tho married...it was early in the a.m. Bill Quallich was
there, too, and we were just having a skull session....
Tex said in an aside...how it came up I know not unless we were
talking about Illinois chapters and how many TKE leaders we got
from Eureka...He said "You watch that Reagan. He just might be
president some day." For some reason I retained this, and how
true....
Another anecdote, think Buckwheat or Bruce Melchert told me this....it was rush week at Eureka...and the Tekes had a banner
outside their then-new house. The banner said "Just because
you pledge TKE...does not necessarily mean you will become President....but it might.
R.I.P. frater Dutch...we all loved you.
