Requesting information

[dever860]

I have been doing research on our founder, Russell Rader Fling, GT #1, and I need some help. Russell died in October 1978, he was an order of merit scholar. I was hoping to find something written about him in the 1977-78 edition of the cross and crescent, alas in the December 1978 edition there was no memorandum section. The December edition was quite small. I was hoping that someone might be able to look in the 1979 edition to see if there was an obituary written about him. If anyone knows of any other documentation on my chapter Founder, it would be of great help. Our 1979 edition is mysteriously missing from the collection.

Recently, inspired by the group that found Cole's grave, tracked down Flings grave a few miles outside of Columbus. I hope to go see it later this afternoon. I am thinking about starting a tradition where our associate members put flowers on his grave before every Initiation.

Thanks.
In ZAX,
