Smile Traveling Book!

I have talked to Brother Jono, Beta Nu # 41 about this book!

He has read it and was sent back to me!

This Book was written by Mrs. Ruth Doral Jones, who had been The House Mother of The Gamma Upsilon Zeta at UNo. Car. State U.

"How Did Catsup Get On The Ceiling"

Now, what I propose is that I send this book to a Brother of LXA to read, Sign and Date and send it back to me. Reason: It can then be sent on to another Brother!

The reason is it shows how A Zeta Was back in the 60s and how far We have Progressed and the fun that they had!

Any Takers?

But you must abide by the rules of getting it back into my Hands ASAP so that it can be sent on to another Brother to be read and signed and resent on to another Brother!

I now have another book coming and would like to do the same thing so that as many Brothers can see what has been written about not only LXA, but other situations!

Let me know of any interest one way or the other!

Just another way for Brothers to stay in contact and perspective with each other!


In ZAX,

Sorry Steve, Guess John got the Leg up on The Book!

He is a Lawyer and sent me his address first! May need Lawyer First and not A Scooter Jock like some People I know! Married, Kids and Pets!

It is a Written Rule, it comes Back To Me with Name and Zeta # on The Fly Leaf!

Yes I did read the book, and I resent it!

My favorite line from that book, describing the Lambda Chi house on a Friday evening in the '60s:

"the place gently reeked of Jade East..." Ha!

Do they still make that stuff?

ZAX,
Jono

Thumbs down Not a best seller

A nice collection of stories, it shows how fraternities used to be. I wish that we did dress today, that we would have a formal dinner from time-to-time, but we have to live in the present.

I don't think that this one will make the Times best seller list.

It's in the mail.

John, back in the Olden Days, we dressed daily as most were in Business Dept. or Auto Tech. If not, a lot were in ROTC!

We wore slacks and polo shirts so we could wear our Badges. God do I miss the Good Old Days where Brothers were proud to wear Badges or Letters. Never went anywhere with out Letters at least!

All those interested in "The Catsup" book, PM me so can get a listing going!

John, I hoped you signed it with name, Zeta and #!

Book is speeding, even as we speak, with the velocity of 100 thundering turtles, to the next addressee.

Where is the book now?

I sent if off a couple of weeks ago. Where is it now? And yes, I signed and dated the book inside the front cover.

I need to check with Steve. He said he got it and gave him LXAAlums address to send onto!

I think what may end up about this book unique is Brothers from all over from different Zetas, reading and signing it!

Jono, I would like to find some Jade East myself, heck am back to Old Spice for The Old Standard!

Dont forget to sign it and put your Zeta and # on it!

Jono and I were talking and he went looking for Jade East on ebay, He found some. God how funny, while we were talking I am remembering , Square Bottle, green cologn wiht a big woodened knob on it! Yep, I did to, just forgot until He and I were chatting!

Damn, I dont want to think about how long ago that was!
