Keeping the TKE Bonds Strong, 40 Years after Graduation!
Thank you to Rob Zimmerman '69 for sending us this recap of a fall 2009 reunion for the classes of '67-'71.

He writes "Every 5 years since 1989 we (the class of '69) have organized a reunion gathering.  We choose an away game weekend so that we can accomplish our event without the complications of home game crowds. We also invite fraters from the neighboring years. This has really enhanced the event.  This year, fraters  from '67 - '71 participated. 

We held our reunion over the Oct. 30 - Nov. 1 weekend at State College.  The event began on Friday afternoon with golf, followed Friday evening by casual dining and drinks at Champs Sports Bar. Throughout the evening fraters arrived to a wonderful welcome.  Many hadn't seen one another in years.

Hooked on Autographs
By Rich Wolfgang, President TKE Chapter Alumni Assn.

Joe Galiardi ’57, a lifetime collector, has written a book, titled Hooked on Autographs, about his favorite behind-the-scenes stories of tracking down celebrities for their autographs on golf balls. Joe claims to have one of the largest private autographed golf ball collections in the country. I had the chance to interview Joe via a Q&A e-mail about his one-of-a-kind book, published by BookSurge, a division of Amazon.com.

Remembering Juanita
What some brothers had to say in remembrance of Juanita...

Craig Aronow: Nobody made better grilled cheese and tomato soup. RIP, Juan.

David Yingling:  And that vat of iced tea was always welcomed. Sad!

Joshua Beail Farkas: I'm pretty sure her cooking shortened all of our lives, but how could you resist the Debbis Special grilled cheese?

Chris Tobias: Ah the grilled cheese. David Jacobson used to change to wear the same blue sweatshirt downstairs to lunch on Thursdays (I think it was Thursdays) to avoid getting grease on his shirts.

Share your best stories and memories of Juan on the message boards or on our Facebook page.
