After the death of Br. Bob Marko, a photograph album with photographs and Phi Delta Psi papers were given to Br. Jerry Berns. Over the years the album deteriorated. Savable articles from the album are in the Archives of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley. They have been numbered, and identified (WITH YOUR HELP) and scanned. Scanned copies are regularly sent to Br. LeRoy Hunt on an on-going basis.
