[Tom Earp]

Brother Waite passed away this week.

He last appeared on NCIS and was on Bones.

He was best know as Daddy on Walton's Mountain along with Brother Will Geer.

RIP Brother Ralph.

An Auburn Lambda Chi friend, Mike Wilson, went out to California and lived with Will Geer for awhile and had some bit parts in The Waltons. We heard that Will was a Lambda Chi too but didn't know that Ralph Waite was.

Now Mike is known as Michael O'Neill and is working non-stop in TV; he seems to get lots of villain parts lately. I bet, though, that he would trace his success back to his Lambda Chi brothers!
