It has been great reconnecting with the Brothers of Kappa Beta, primarily through the invaluable and long-standing efforts of Tom Booker to host the annual "Booker Open" golf outing every year in Sullivan on the Saturday of the Father's Day weekend. Kudos, too, to Dirk McCullum and the brothers who have gathered for an annual re-enactment of the canoe trip. I'm gonna make one of those one of these days. Finally, many thanks to Jim Herter for his relentless efforts to get us reunited via a focused recolonization effort, fund raising, a re-energized Homecoming event, and general communications (recolonization-related conference calls, Facebook, and most recently the kskbalumni.org web site). The actions of these brothers, and the less-visible activities of many others, as well as the demonstrated interest by all Brothers who have attended these events, or at least contacted us to let us know you're still with us, speaks to the blessing that our shared experience at 1454 South Center St. continues to give us. AEKDB!
