Brooks, St. Lawrence \u201922. The ceremony was at the Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington DC.<\/p>\n<p>All of the ushers were OWU Betas and included Dick Davenport \u201953 (best man), Norm Slenker \u201951, Bob Neff \u201953, Dick DeVos \u201954, and Milt Irvin \u201955 (Dick McClintock\u2019s little brother). There were 22 Betas in attendance, which included one from Kenyon, Joe Culp, a high school classmate of Ginger\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Seth R. Brooks was General Secretary of the fraternity, and Assistant chaplain of US Senate at the time. Dr. Brooks graduated from St. Lawerence College as a proud member of Beta Theta Pi. His profession was as minister of Universalist National Memorial Church. In his first book on Beta history, Dr. Brooks wrote fondly of his first \u201call Beta\u201d wedding. When all of \u201chis boys\u201d sang during the reception, a big smile came across Dr. Brooks and his face lit up the whole of Washington DC that day. He was a dear friend of Ginger\u2019s parents and she cherishes many fond memories of Seth and his wife, Corrine.<\/p>\n<p>The McClintocks are the proud parents of 1 daughter and 1 son, and grandparents of 5.
