My mother's cousin married a Gamma Phi, and I think I've mentioned a certain photo of her from her college years. She went to UCLA (I think), and there's a photo of her and some of her sisters all sitting on the wings of a plane. It's a really cool photo, and I think it may have appeared in a Gamma Phi publication. Her maiden name is Louise Coffman (?) - she would be 95? We lost touch after my mother died.

But it was a wonderful photo!

This isn't the photo, as they truly were sitting on the wings, but is still Gamma Phis with a plane:

That looks like the photo that appears in publications/historical references to the millions of dollars in war bonds sold by Gamma Phis during WWII.

YES!!!! This is the right photo!!! I'm not exactly sure which one is Louise, but I *think* she's the fourth in from the left? She has this enlarged and framed in her condo.

My goddaughter (her mom is my Chi O big sis) preffed Chi O and Theta at UC Davis.
She got her bid Sunday morning and is now a ...





















Theta

Her mother & I heard in our ears the Price Is Right sound for the losing contestants.

Her mom & I are a little sad, but GD (goddaughter) is happy as a clam (or, I guess, a kite).
All the owl items I had been stock-piling will continue to be stock-piled -- hopefully for GD2.
But now GD2 will be a triple-threat legacy: Chi O, Kappa, Theta.
