Morry Hollenbaugh \u201949 \u2014 March 2004\u00a0Dear Brothers in Theta Chapter, I just received my copy of the Theta Data and saw Kissy\u2019s face staring at me on the front page. The last time I saw Kissy and Annie was at Bix Newhard\u2019s \u201953 \u201ccabin\u201d across the valley from us here in Snowmass, CO. I stood in my living room a few years\u00a0ago and watched Bix\u2019s old house burn down in a glorious blaze. The new house is a marked improvement.<\/p>\n
Then I read the other stuff and saw in Ordway\u2019s letter that Fred Olds was in Guthrie, OK. So I called him and talked for about an hour. We laughed about our hunting trips of old and how we made Skip Cheseldine \u201950 sit in the back seat of my old \u201927 Model T Ford and hold \u201cGizmo\u201d, my Llewlyn Setter, on his lap. Fred sounds in fine fettle. Skip Cheseldine was then a pledge and we were just out of WWII and trying to get back into the college routine.<\/p>\n
Then I called Skip down in Bonita Springs, FL and found he was still the same old Skip, thank God. I reminded him about Gizmo and we had a big laugh.<\/p>\n
Skip is into fishing all over the World\u2014Brazil, New Zealand, Canada, etc., and even had a stint out here in my fly fishing territory. Had I known that he was invading here I would have had the Sheriff run him out of Colorado. Then I received some fishing pictures of his exploits\u2014probably posed catches taken from his guides to impress the peons. I told him that the last three times Phyllis and I were out trout fishing we got 39 but was reluctant to say that practically all of them were bigger than that trout he got out here.<\/p>\n
In February, Evan Roderick \u201951, Mick Musselman \u201952 and Keith Gaspitch rendezvoused at Skip\u2019s and Norm Slenker \u201951 sneaked into that picture as well. Wish I had been there. The neighbors probably called the police because of the loud laughter disturbing the area. Theta Betas are like that when they get together.We\u2019re out here in paradise and if any of you fly by this way we will be disappointed if you don\u2019t drop in. Thanks for the Theta Data guys, it was refreshing.<\/p>\n
Yours in \u2014kai\u2014 Morry
