There is no doubt that Don Collins was one of the most important leaders of our Fraternity. Don was initiated into the Phi Delta Psi Fraternity in the Fall of 1959 at Los Angeles Pierce College. He served the Brotherhood as President of Beta Chapter in the Fall of 1960, and the Spring of 1961. Don led the fraternity at the height of its influence and power. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from San Jose State University, and worked for several years as a teacher of industrial arts.
Don and his wife Bernie live in Alamo, California

MORRIE MARKOVITZ CHECKS IN

LOST BROTHER SAYING HELLO! I was talking with my wife about my college years and decided to google Phi Delta Psi. It was a great surprise to find this message board. I was in Beta chapter Fall 66' pledge class. I am sorry to read about the passing of John Hostinshy, even though I haven't seen or talk to him in 40 some years it's sad when you learn someone you've known is gone.
To set the record straight John pledged with me in Fall 66'. In fact he was the pledge captain. John was just out of army and a little older than the rest of us. As I remember we were more scared of him than the brothers. Anyway, quick recap of the last 40 years I moved away from LA in 73' and lived in Seattle, Boise, SF and Oregon. For the last 20 years I've owned bars in Salem, Oregon. Looking forward to selling out his year and retiring. I notice some names on the e mail list and I will try to contact some of the brothers I was close with. My email address is cinmaror@comcast.net
