The following comes from brother Chuck Ordway, \u201948 and solicits your help in solving his life-long mystery. Here is his \u201cplight\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy story follows: Back in 1948, this old fellow left in the furnace room at 54 W. Lincoln an Iver-Johnson bicycle. I\u2019m sure many of you know what old bikes are worth today. Here\u2019s my offer: if anyone took that bike from the basement, just perhaps it might be located. It was black and white, had balloon tires, a cycle-saddle, a basket, and a bell. It had yellow rims as well. I rode that bike between campuses when I washed dishes at Monnett for Douglas Mendenhall, the head cook at Monnett. I\u2019ve often wondered what became of the bike and I\u2019m offering $1,000 to the Theta House Corporation if this bike is located and returned to me. And I\u2019ll pay any expenses involved. Guaranteed my check will be good. If this offer is of no interest to Theta, just forget it. If anyone other than a Beta returns it to me, they\u2019ll get the money. I\u2019d rather Theta get it of course!\u201d<\/p>\n

A pig in a poke? Maybe, maybe not! Too, I\u2019m hoping Theta will again be a chapter at Wesleyan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
