created a Faux Fraternity in order to get into a "Greeks Only" Beach Party in Ft. Lauderdale during Spring Break...even Jake participated with his larcenous escapade of stealing Bookstore prize numbers...and getting caught. Then there was the Memorial Day post honoring the last surviving member of my Dad's WWII B-17 crew, "Joe" who happened to have actually caddied for Babe Ruth...a story that was corroborated by his family and friends when I later flew across country to represent my Dad and our family at JOe's Military Funeral Honors Ceremony...the story that you tried to use in order to vent your political disagreements by trashing Joe's memory. Fortunately, several other OF members weren't so crass.

Dream on, guys...I'll be here to clean up after you.
