In the early 1970's ('71, probably '72) Illinois State initiated three members of the Cubs as honoraries:
Ron Santo/B-O 106
Fergie Jenkins/B-O 107
Billy Williams/B-O 108
I'll have to get the details on how this came about from our founding father (since we only chartered in 1969 we're relatively new, although we now have 1000+).
The Paedagogus has shown photos of Brothers Jenkins and Williams because they're HOF. I also recall seeing a Cross & Crescent that had Ron Santo's photo prominently displayed.
I've never met Messrs. Jenkins & Williams. However, my bride and I did have the chance to get our photo taken w/Brother Santo at a Cubs Convention in 2001 (before his health issues caused him to lose both legs to diabetes).
When I told him I was wearing an LCA sweatshirt because I was from the ISU chapter where he'd been made an honorary, he gave me a realllllly puzzled look. Somehow I think this whole thing slipped his mind...
ZAX,
BF
