Reprint From An Early Le Bijou

One of the best loved persons in the hearts of the men of Theta chapter is Mrs. James Linn, their housemother. “Mama” has been with the chapter since 1937 and in that time she has endeared herself to many Betas. Outside of her own home, the Beta house is her first love. During the time […]

Jack (Judy) Hahn ’55

In their 2011 Christmas letter, they write in part, “….we went north to produce another of our train video documentaries. It tells the story about a group of rail motorcar enthusiasts participating in excursions through rugged mountain country.

Tom (Sue) Stover ’57

I know I haven’t been very good about letting you and my brothers know how Sue and I are faring after these many years as OWU alums. We’ve had a good life together and passed the 51 year mark of our marriage last January 3rd. We’ve had lots of  good years and are looking forward to some more. 2010 was not nice to us however. I had a heart […]

Jim (Becky) Dailey ’56

(Upon hearing of the passing of Bob Corey) Sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I thought of him recently as College Spring Breaks were starting. I remember him loading into the car at 54 W. Lincoln heading to Florida wearing his bathing trunks and a t-shirt and carrying his toothbrush. He said that’s all the essentials he needed. Great guy […]

Thanks Tom for continuing “Marching along with Beta….”. I still sing the Beta songs in the shower (sorry Clint) and miss the Brothers who are no longer here to remember the fun and good times.

Pat Simpson ’54

Oh dear Tom, How tardy I am—please excuse! Yes, we did return from almost 3 weeks of cruise and La Jolla and had a grand time. The weather did not cooperate but then in this part of the world we cannot even begin to complain about weather considering all you’ve been through. Due to being […]

J, Clint Miller ’54

Hi Tom! Thanks again for a terrific 2011 Theta Data, and not just because I was a feature in the issue! – and speaking of that feature: Your closing tribute really touched my heart! Thank you! I learned a great deal both personally and professionally from our brothers during that formative period of my life. […]
