Frater Erik Conard passes on to the Chapter Eternal

[ophitke38]

Frater Conard mentioned several times his collection of TKE memorabilia, including letters he exchanged with Tex Flint. I wonder if someone is close enough to his wife Grace to approach her about her plans for those. They shouldn't go into an estate sale, if you know what I mean.

If I remember right I believe he said he had willed all that stuff to IHQ. He was doubting that for awhile because he said IHQ was bad about stuff given to them in the past and many of it was taken, misplaced, or just totally lost. I believe after talking to IHQ affialated people he changed his mind.

Thanks for the quick update. Sure would be nice if someone went through those Tex Flint letters and compiled them. They probably have a lot of insights into the early years of the fraternity and a lot of the personalities that are just names to those of us who are younger.
Best,
Walt
