Stix,Man it is hard to believe that this weekend you have been gone for twelve years. I still remember that Saturday morning, the phone call... the disbelief. The huge hole it left in my heart. We miss you, but we cherish the memories. You were always the one who kept your head, and kept us focused when we were on line. Pledging, back in the day, produced a bond that is impossible to describe to someone who never experienced it. The laughter, the tears, the joy, and the pain we shared as Scrollers are moments I wouldn't trade for any thing on earth.
We're keeping the faith, and living our lives to uphold the purpose and goals we all pledged to aspire to. Your memory is alive within us. We live by the creed, "Once a Kappa, always a Kappa". Therefore even when you are no longer present here on earth, you simply join the chapter in the heavenly realm, The Chapter Invisible. The chapter we will all belong to some day, where we will reunite and tell stories from back in the day. We always remember you when we pass the "Loving Cup", We love you man! Y.I.T.B., Your Sands, Randy
David W. Peterson (1980)
Stick Man, my friend, my Sands, my Brother:Stix, my heart is still filled with sorrow and pain over your being taken from our earthly bond way to soon. However my faith sustains me, because I know that when I cross over to the Chapter Invisible, we will stand together and once again "cross the burning sands" as we reunite in brotherhood.
I hope that we can one day continue the tennis lessons you tried to teach me while at E-State. My wish was that you could have traveled to Wimbeldon in your lifetime, I always thought we would have the time to make that dream come true, but alas as in all things time has its' own way.
I find joy in the sorrow when I think of your smile, your kindness and your good spirit. We will forever be bonded together in PHI NU PI. I will always remember fondly the days the four of us were "Scrollin' for Kappa". Love and Peace.
Yours in the Bond
Little Brother Bird, E-Man, David
