I take it, then, the rumors of your demise in a Bolivian prison were greatly exaggerated?

Where in Nam, Ken?

Kim Burch - Beloit's "All American Boy", whom we dubbed "Captain America" back in the heyday of the mid-to-late-60's.  Kim had many admirers, no detractors, and he went over that hill far too soon. 

Rob was our fraternity pledge class president back in the day.  He was a soft-spoken New Englander, whose only vice was blabbing all of our "sacred frat secrets" to the ladies after he'd consumed a few devil's brews.!!!  RIP, Robbie.....

Gabby was a fantastic gal from Chappaqua, NY, and was well-liked by all who knew her at Beloit.  After graduation, she spent some time in Chicago, sharing an apartment with some of her sorority sisters.  I remember visiting them in the Windy City when I was on leave from Uncle Sam's Finest, and they really rolled out the red carpet!  She wrote me regularly when I was in Vietnam, and even visited my family while I was over there.  She left us far too soon, at the age of 24, and she will always be in our hearts.

Sad to see that Bergie has gone on to other things.  He was a good guy, liked by all who knew him.  I'll never forget the night Bergie had a tad too much of the "carbonated adult beverages", and he knocked out about 10 posts in the balcony banister of our frat house - a record that stood the test of time.  RIP Bergie....

Dr. Yahr --- All of your most impressive credentials aside, you're still the same good ol' boy Skip Yahr from the Midwest! Best wishes, Buddy.

Hey Pete! Did you ever progress to more than three chords on that old guitar of yours?
