Gavel Coming Home

Email received today:

My name is Steve Jones. My dad was a DU president I believe in the late 40's. Martin Luther Jones Jr. was his name. I've been told you have pics of past presidents on your wall and a friend who visited tou told me about seeing it. My mother and two sisters both graduated from WAZZU but I chose the higher ground after your admissions office told me to get screwed, and went to the party school in Ellensburg as the black sheep of the family.

In any event, I have a gavel that he has kept all these years. He passed away in '97. Does your frat have any interest in that kind of memorabilia? If so, I'll gladly send it to you. I'd like to see it go to somewhere where it would be appreciated. If you want it, it yours. Please let me know.

New Chapter Cook

Email received from our chapter president about our new cook:

Dave is an amazing guy. In just the past 3 days that I have been able to see him in work, he has shown an incredible ability to cook food. His food is beyond belief. It is actually better than my mom's cooking. Not only does it taste great, it also looks like real food. Not once has there been leftovers which shows how great his food is. On top of this he has already volunteered to come in on weekends and cook for us if we were wanting to do a Date Night with some girls, which I think is a great idea. Because his food is so good, we actually have everyone one in the chapter room for dinner at the same time together. His food is indirectly adding to the brotherhood of our chapter! I know I speak for the whole chapter when I say this: Jud, you could not have found a better guy than him. Thanks.
