LOSS OF SANDY QUIGLEY


It is with great regret that we share this message from our Fraternity Brother Wayne Quigley: ... my wife, Sandy, passed away last night. She had pulmonary fibrosis for 10 years and there is no cure for the disease. In March she had to go on oxygen  24-7.  The disease progressed and eventually she died of congestive heart failure."

AN ALPHA CHAPTER TREASURE FROM Br. BILL BORDERS

Here's a treasure from Alpha Chapter in 1964.

"Hello Bros:
While rummaging thru some dusty boxes in the basement today, this little gem presented itself. Read it and weep. But, you know, a good weeping for all the great times we had. (Click on them and blow them up for easier, old eyes' reading.)

Please feel free to pass on to any and all brothers who might be interested. Especially Barry Marks who I took over the role of V.P from, and whose scribbles these are! (I can't find his e-mail address.)

Enjoy the stroll down memory/mammary lane!

Bill Borders   
(aka Big Ed, The Needle, Froggie and a few other I can't recall.)"
