Thanks for getting this reunion together, but I will not be able to attend the first weekend in June.  I have already made plans to visit my daughter and her family the first ten days of June.  I am sorry
that I will miss it, but hopefully I can attend the next reunion.  I enjoyed the last one very much.
 
Fraternally,
Gene Scott

Denise and I will be there.  I will be trying to get in touch with the rest of the Radiants (including Bill Choice and Jerry Dunagan) to see if we can resurrect one more time.

  Unless I magically find an opening in my schedule it does not seem that I will be able to make the heroic effort that you all are making to put theevent together.  While I shall miss seeing everyone after such a long time, I greatly appreciate what you are doing.  There will just have to be yet another!Best regards to all.  Laban> > >    > ---------------------------------------------LABAN W.

New address is Bastrop, TX.  We bought a home here after traveling the US for most of 2008.

  I'll be in Florida June 4th & 5th helping my parents. Wish I could join all of you for the activities especially since I now live close by in Bastrop.  Say "Hello" for me.

from Jerry Dunagan

I’m sorry to say that’ll I’ll not be able to attend the reunion this time, and I’ll really miss seeing all you guys.  I’m currently in the middle of a rather intense training program and because of this, will be in Columbus , OH , during the reunion weekend.  As before, you’re again doing an awesome job of organizing this reunion.  And, too, I’ll really miss being able to play a few tunes with the “Radiants.”  I’ll be looking forward to making it to the next, which I hope you’ll be planning sometime in the future.  Everything is going well here in Pensacola , FL.   Hope everyone is doing fine.

Blessings

Jerry Dunagan

Sorry, Bill. Won't be able to get to Austin in June for the reunion. Will probably visit sometime this Fall. Have a great time...and a special shout-out to the Nu Class of '71 and that whole four-year period of great memories.

from Doug Boyd

Thanks for all you continue to do to keep us in touch.  Your last effort was such a success.  It would be great to experience the Sunny and Bob’s lake hospitality again.

 

Unfortunately my wife and I cannot be part of the reunion because we will be in Europe.  You are correct, per an earlier e-mail, that no date is perfect but having a 6-month notice will allow many of us to schedule the reunion around events where there is some flexibility.

William Royle
from Robert Charles Allen
Regret that I will not be able to attend the reunion.  I spoke to my brother Russell (BBA ''66, MBA 68?), and he won't be able to attend either.  I would, however, like to stay in touch with the group.  In the email replies to this project, you've unearthed several of my old buddies and I am gradually becoming reacquainted with them.  If you put together addresses or other info, I would certainly like to be copied.

 

I hope you have a great time!

Martha & I are scheduled to the hilt for our trip. In Austin , the Austin High School class of '60 monopolizes 4 and 5 June, and we must leave Austin early on 6 June to fly to Lake Tahoe , CA to see Martha's grandbaby. I'll try to contact Joe Lostracco and see if we can make the brunch at the Marriott Arboretum on Saturday, but...I cannot get an email address for Joe. Do you have one you could send me?

Thanks for setting this up and including me on your email list!

I will not be able to attend this time, I really enjoyed it last time. Please plan another!

What's your e-mail address?  -- Bill Lace

In Memory for Patsy Ann Gardner Welch

Since we have an "In Memory" section, shouldn't we include or even have a separate section in memory of one of the best Chi Phi's of the 60's, our housemother, Patsy Welch? I know we all have fond memories of her.

Just a thought.

Thank you and Bob for putting this party together.  Unfortunately, my wife and I cannot attend this year.

All best wishes to everyone and have fun.

Creston Funk info

I just talked with Creston Funk.  He is doing fine and we had a great phone visit.  He will be out of town and miss our reunion.

Bill Royle
from Don Burgess

Thanks much to Bill for organizing this event and to Bob and Sunny for their gracious hospitality.  We are avid UT baseball fans and the NCAA regional tounament will be in Austin that weekend.  Unfortunately, under a tournament format we do not know when the Horns will play, so we cannot plan to be at any reunion events.  Best to all.

Don Burgess
from David Gallian

Walter Church wrote me-

I spent last weekend with David Gallian. He can not make the reunion, because he has his Grand Daughter that weekend. 

William Royle
from Bob Hilsher

Thanks for the invitation.  Unfortunately our church has a couple of functions we cannot miss due to leadership positions my wife and I both hold.
Tell everyone "Hello" and have a great time!  You are on my mind and hopefully will be on my agenda the next time. 

Bob Hilsher

from Leon Walker
Sorry that I am unable to make the reunion this weekend.  The state of Washington is a little far - maybe next time.  Thanks for getting the group together.  Glad to know that some of us are still around and on the right side of the grass.  Give everyone my best regards.

Bob Simpson had to miss reunion

 I must back out of the reunion this weekend. I got sick.

I am truly sorry that I will again miss seeing all the guys, but don't see any choice. I am sure that the reunion will be a great success, and I hope that I will be able to make the next one. Sorry to see that Jerry Long is also gone. I didn't think we were actually getting that old, but too many of our friends aren't with us any longer and I would like to renew all of those friendships before we lose any more.
The website is a great way of keeping up with everyone.

Wish all the guys the best from me, and I hope you have a great time.

I hope you will post pictures, and don't forget to send copies of the e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. so we can maintain contacts.

Fraternally,

Bob Simpson

Thanks again for organizing another great reunion weekend!  It was
especially nice seeing some of the fellows who couldn't make the previous

opportunity to attend at least one of the events.

Ruth Ann and I thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves.
All the best,
Joe

spam report

Dear Nu members,

I got spammed on the computer and many brothers called to see if I was really "broke in England and needed money."  Poor me just stays in Lufkin, Texas and the spam was wrong.  All is well from the guys that I heard from.    Bill Royle

Leon Walker update 6/10/11

Thanks for doing this for all of us.  It is good to know that you are still alive and kicking.  I am doing well.  We spend about half time in Washington State and half time in Palm Springs, CA.  We are at our vineyard in Othello, WA for the summer.  Keep up the good work of trying to kep us in touch.  God bless you.

Just a quick note to let you know how things are going.  My computer has been down and out for 10 days so no word from me.  Ginny is doing well on her TARCEVA chemo and having only moderate side effects.  We are just praying for its response to her particular problem and continue to covet your prayers also.  We were blessed to have all of our family here for the Memorial weekend and they will all be returning the end of July for our family summer get together.  We are so grateful for the care and concern from her physicians and so many many friends.  We feel truly blessed.   There will be followup test over the next month to see if we have to add more chemo in the future.  Love to each of you,   Jimmy and Ginny Harrell 
ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE 6/5/11
Bill Lace is smarter than I am

You just thought you knew the words, Bill. It's . . .

On the wings of a snow, white dove,
He sends his pure, sweet love.
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.

How could I ever forget after hearing it played over and over and over while we
were all sleeping (or trying to) on the floor chained by our right ankles.

Bill Lace

from Bob Simpson=----Boy, those were the days.
Last weekend while cleaning out the house for some major remodeling we are
doing, I ran across two copies of Waltzing Matilda that we did for the singing
contest in 1960, I believe. This is on a 45 RPM record with Bells of St. Mary
on the flip side by Kappa Alpha Theta, winner of the sorority division. If I
had a method of reproducing it on the computer, I would make CD copies for
anyone who is interested, or send one of the copies to a brother who has that
ability. It is probably pretty scratchy, but someone might be interested.

Bob

From Doug Boyd=----
Oh, yes. Keg Friday nights also, after Bee’s great shrimp creole. Then there
were the limericks: There once was a man from Boston, drove a little Red
Austin, there was room for his ass and a gallon of gas, but his b**** stuck out
and he lost ‘em.
Doug
P.S. from Bill- Did I want to remember the limericks?


From Bill Royle- Randy, do you also forgive my adult screw-ups?
Hah! Thanks for sharing, Bill. And I'm sure you're forgiven. If you can't be
raunchy in a college fraternity, exactly when can you be?

Sincerely,

Randy Schultz

Bill Wallace's comments 6/5/11

 

Not to one up anybody, but nobody, and I mean nobody had a worse Hell Week song to hear ad ininitum than The Bird, by one of my alltime favorite groups, The Trashmen....

 

 

 

AH PA PA PA PA PA PA PA PA,

 

The bird bird bird, the bird is the word....

 

 

 

particularly augmented by the fantastic acoustics of the men's head

Aloha, Bill--

The reason you remember WINGS OF A DOVE so well is that we used it to play incessantly during Hell Week when I was Hell Master.  After that, the pledges we initiated sort of kept it as a theme song.

Fraternally,

Subject: [nu-ut] Why did I think of you?

 


Dear Class Mates,
Something funny.  I went to a Memorial Service this afternoon for a lady that is older than me.  Yes, there are some people older than me!  I saw in the bulletin they were going to play "On the Wings of a Dove."  My mind went to Chi Phi parties and singing that song over and over.  Remember "On the wings of a snow white dove, he sends his pure white love.  He sends down his love on the wings of a dove."  See I remember the words after 50 years.  I think we sang it in not such a churchy way.  I think it was rauchy. 
I did not get much out of the service because I was thinking of you all. 
Yes, it is a hymn really and this time was sung with many verses.  It was really pretty.
But I like the way Nu Chapter at Chi Phi sang it.
I do ask for God to send down his love for all of us. 
And maybe forgive us for our rauchy ways in the past?
Your friend,   Bill Royle

MAURICE ANGLY, JR.
MAURICE ANGLY, JR.
By Katie Glueck

AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF

Updated: 7:51 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, 2012

Published: 7:28 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, 2012

Maurice Angly Jr., the first Republican state legislator elected to represent the Travis County area since Reconstruction and a champion of government transparency, died Monday in Anchorage, Alaska, his children said. He was 71 .

Angly, a Houston native, served five years as a state representative from Travis and Burnet counties . He won a special election for the seat in 1967 , and news reports say he expressed hope at the time that Texas, then overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning, could become a two-party state where Republicans might also be competitive.

Angly's daughter, Katherine James, said he remained active in politics throughout his life, serving as a delegate to the 1988 Republican National Convention. He also assisted with President George H.W. Bush's campaign, she said.

"To me, he was born to be a politician," said James, 47 , who grew up in Central Austin . "He had that magnetic personality. He was vivacious, always the center of attention and the life of the party."

In office, Angly was a member of the "Dirty 30," a bipartisan cadre of representatives who pushed for reform in the statehouse and who were instrumental in ousting Speaker Gus Mutscher , who would later be indicted for his role in a stock fraud incident that shook the state, known as the Sharpstown State Bank scandal .

In 1972 , Angly made an unsuccessful run for state treasurer against long-time incumbent Jesse James , a Democrat. Angly also lost a state senate race to U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, the Democrat who now represents Austin in Washington, D.C. Both times, Angly ran on platforms of government transparency and fiscal responsibility, news reports at the time showed.

Angly , who practiced law for several years in Austin, studied government at the University of Texas and also attended the UT School of Law with his then-wife, Surrenden Hill Angly , now 70.

Angly moved to Alaska about 10 years ago to partially retire and pursue fishing, hunting and gardening, his daughter said. Angly also worked at a market research firm, Hellenthal & Associates , in Anchorage , managing callers who conducted the research.

"Maurice had a wonderful sense of humor and, of course, that wonderful Texas accent," said Jean Hellenthal , who worked with Angly at Hellenthal, her husband's firm. "He had a lot of stories he could tell."

A memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Texas State Cemetery.

Angly is survived by his children James , Maurice "Trey" Angly III , Surrenden Angly Gillespie and Etienne Kuldell Angly and by nine grandchildren, family members said.

Bob Simpson
 I am so sorry to hear about Maurice Angly's death.  He was in my pledge class and one of my dearest friends.  I have often wondered about him as we lost contact over the years.  I was in Anchorage a couple of years ago and would have looked him up if I had known he was there.  We will miss him.
