I've had a great career as a RN for the past 27 years at the Little Rock VA Hospital and look to retire in 3 years. I had some great times at AU and especially being a proud Brother At Dear Old Lamda Chi. To my knowledge I was the only Nursing Major to play football for the Saxon Warriors!!! Speaking of football, I was that certain brother that sustained "The Broken Nose" at the Pledge/Brother annual football game in 1980!! It was such a cheap shot that was put on me by those little pledges, I should have cut to the left instead of going up the middle and taking a beating by those pledges. That ER visit to St. James Hospital turned into a great party!! Didn't the brothers win that one?? Anyways I have one son, Brooks who has made me very proud during the past 20 years. Brooks is a junior at The Univ. of Arkansas at Fayetteville's Walton School of Buisness, his major is Finance/Accounting and is doing well. He is the new and improved image of me, with a big warm smile. He looks just like me 30 years ago, lucky kid!!! Hope all is well for you all and keep in touch! " Chief" KS 1020!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4/3/2010 David Hetherly, KE 617 Retired from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service in 1993, after 25 years.

Spend my winter months (Oct. - Apr.) in San Antonio, where I have lived for 31 years. I have a daughter, Christine, who graduated fron the University of Texas, and I have a "grand dog" Lexi....a Weimerander. We walk together twice a day while Christine is at school....she is a teacher. Christine will get married (finally) on March 19, 2011. There goes my next Lexis!!!!!! If anyone plans on visiting San Antonio, you have a place to stay. Remember, it only costs 80 percent more to go first class!!! Only kidding! 02/14/2010 Bryan Samson, KE 1016 After a military career I was the Village Manager in my hometown of Horseheads, NY for a few years, and then rejoined the Army as a civilian in charge of contracting.

Cheers to all!! 2/13/2010 Gary DelRegno, KE 927 You guys have done a really great piece of work in this website. The scrapbooks are enormous. Truly lots of fun to show friends and family. Gives them some idea of the times we had. I look forward to seeing all those brothers with whom I had such great times. I'll be finishing my Master's Degree in Ceramic Engineering in August this year, so I know I'll be around to give you all a hard time.

I am practicing law in Brooklyn, NY as well as being part of a family developing group building condominiums in New Jersey. I have 3 children, Joseph (12), Lucas (10), and Eva (8) and have been married to my wife Rosemarie for almost 13 years. Would love to get together and relive some of those times in the scrapbook although recovery time has shot up significantly. Love to hear from any brothers in the New York City area. 2/6/2010 Dave Cole, KE 893 Just received the most recent copy of the alumni association letter (1.29.2010) and visited the Alfred chapter website. I can't remember the last time I saw any of the scrapbook photos nor can I recall the last time I saw many of the brothers in the pictures. I can say I remember virtually every event captured in the pictures and it brought back a flood of fond memories - as if it were last year. My four years at Alfred and three as a Lambda Chi brother were a tremendous experience, in large part due to my fraternity involvement. My sincere thanks to Mitch Feldman and Steve Coleman for digitally preserving these memories and for allowing me to share some of the great stories, aided by the pictures, with my kids and wife. You made my cold Connecticut Saturday in January really special! Much has happened since 1975 but some of the highlights: My two daughters through my marriage to Nancy Joslin are now 28 and 31, with my youngest (Arleigh) bringing me my first and only grandson (Nathan) three years ago (Oct. 2006). They live nearby in CT so I have the luxury of seeing Nathan grow up. My oldest girl, Aryn, lives in NYC and is an actress who made it to All My Children and a few movies. She is destined to be a star. I married Amy Lang in 2000 and have enjoyed a wonderful life ever since. She was born in Rochester so I must have something for western NY ladies (Nancy was from Buffalo). We live in Fairfield, CT after spending 12 years in Easton, CT. We spend a bulk of our winters in Palm Beach Gardens, FL so if you get south in the cold northern winter months, please look us up. I still enjoy golf and we bike a lot to stay in shape. Of equal importance, we love to drink red wine and have plenty of bottles available to share with any brothers who come by. I suppose I could try to capture the last 35 years of my life on paper but suggest the effort would bore the crap out of most of my old pals and opt to just say "hi" to everyone from 1971 - 1978 instead. Drop a line if inclined and we can talk about old times at Kappa Sigma! 1/30/2010 Mike Cawley, KE 1220 Wow - this is a great website. I have enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading up on a lot of the brothers. I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. Keep up the great work.I would also like to thank Mitch and Steve. I got very misty going through all of the old pictures and they brought back an unbelievable amount of memories. What a great website. I am doing well. I am married and have a 7 year old son, Zachary, who is the love or our life. I currently live in Vestal, NY and work at BAE Systems. I am looking forward to bringing my family to the reunion this summer and showing them where I spent the best years of my life. 1/31/2010 KE 1008 KE 1008 challenges ALL brothers from all years to a game of Prince to be held in Alfred on Reunion Weekend.

Enjoyed poking around in it. 1/30/2010 Dave Cole, KE 893 Great Job guys - a fantastic way to preserve the Lambda Chi experience at AU for those of us who have lost touch with many brothers and Alfred. I certainly enjoyed looking at the old pix and appreciate the effort made to keep everything intact. I'm going to be in Italy the weekend of the reunion but would certainly make the trip otherwise. Sorry miss it. 1/30/2010 Mark Mattar, KE 1073 Looking forward to hearing from many of you. All continues to be well in Buffalo.

Paul Larson, KE 652 We've been down here in (Absolutely Beautiful) San Antonio for almost twenty years now and just love the people and the atmosphere. After 35 years in senior management I started my own business education and development firm a couple of years ago. If I can say anything about that experience it is I wish I had done this sooner........oh well, live and learn. If anyone gets to the San Antonio area, give me a ring and we can reminisce.
