FOUND THIS GREAT PHOTO OF Br. BILL LUNDY ON FACEBOOK

Here's a great snapshot of Br. Bill Lundy from his Facebook page. Bill pledged the Delta Chapter of Phi Delta Psi at Los Angeles City College, but I'm not sure of the year.  He was in the US Naval Reserve and was, I believe, stationed in Newport, Rhode Island.
