Happy Birthday, Beta! You've done wonderous things for me. I hope that I can one day do the same for you and my brothers.

phi kai phi 'til the day I die!

Unfortunatly I was packing my stuff up to fly from WA to VA. That was a fun way to spend the 167th birth of Beta...

Funny, but I never even thought about it.

With the chapter Treasurer on internship this summer, I stepped in to some degree to help with financial management- and this past week has been a real trying time getting the new leases wrapped up and all in addition to my work on my own new company.

Today a lot of that got resolved and I just got off the phone with the President of our Housing Corporation where we talked about a lot of good news for the chapter- including our award at Convention.

It was a good day to be a Beta- and as I prepare to turn in for the night it is all the nicer to be reminded this is the day when it all got started so many years ago.

Has anyone ever noticed that the minutes of the first regular meeting were dated "August 9th"???

Was that meeting three hours long, or did JGS just do the write-up the next day - or what?

It's amazing to think how many years have run by - the work of eight young men, in age from 19 to 27 sill having its effect. How they must watch in amazement as we still recall their names and their labours, even here on this technical marvel...

"Be worthy of the name they gave,
In friendship strong and true,
Base actions scorn with loathing deep,
The noblest paths pursue,
Be pure in life, in virtue strong,
And may the Father's eye,
Watch you that you'll meet again,
A happy band on High."

[from the 1872 songbook]

Unfortunately this year I celebrated Aug.8th in Iraq. It was fun though. We had plenty of 'fireworks' to mark the occasion.
