Nupes, if our founders were still alive and well and you could have lunch/dinner with only one of them who would it be?

Would have to be Dr. Marcus Peter Blakemore. Not only do we share the same first name but he also worked in the engineering field (my field). I would also have to invite Elder Diggs just to think him for establishing the finest Greek letter organization ever. What a Dream, what a Dream.

PS:

Tennessee State University Homecoming 2007 this weekend (November 1-4) in Nashville, TN. It will be quite the affair. Of course the Nupes will keep it klassy.

I would have dinner with Founder Dr. Guy Levis Grant because as Grand Historian Emeritus, he has procured a lot of hidden/little known nuggets of Kappa history and "trivia" that I would be curious about.

Also, on a local level, I know at least three of his descendants have crossed at Columbus Alumni, one of them crossed last year.

(and on a more pragmatic level, he was short like me--so I wouldn't feel intimidated)

I would like to have dinner with Founder George W. Edmonds. The main reason I would love to meet him is just to ask him if while he was still alive, did he had any clue that the fraternity he helped start was growing by leaps and bounds and also whether or not he attempted to reach out to any of our other illustrious founders.

I know that he is not a founder but I would also like to have dinner with Frank Summers just to talk about some of the things that he went through while running track at IU.

Paul W. Caine because he was instrumental in getting the scroller club started at The OSU. He also helped with the shield and since I'm an artist, I think I could relate to him with that. When I was in undergrad I was responsible for all of our art work and advertising for all of our functions. So, I would love to have been able to chat with him.

Yeah, that would be real kool.

A most interesting question...I would find appealing the opportunity to sit down and converse with Elder Watson Diggs.

I want to know what drove the ten of them and many after them, to become such high achievers? During that time in America (early 20th century), racism was rampant, and particularly, the state of Indiana was known for its active KKK participation.

I particularly admire the manner in which they overcame the ordeals and indignities suffered, and yet, through it all, achieved beyond their wildest dreams and rose above that moment of time.

For this, I am proud to be associated with such a Noble Klan of Brothers!
