Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2006, No.57 - CLASS OF '76 REUNION A SUCCESS!

Beta Pi:

DATELINE: NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: The Venerable Brothers in attendance at the Class of ‘76 Reunion were Frank Collins collinzes@yahoo.com , Charlie McGibony cmcgibony@aol.com , Doug Martin DVMartin@UP.com , and Oliver Grace ograce@graceny.com . Other Past Potentates in attendance included Steve Quattrochi steve_quattrochi@purina-mills.com , and J.D. Strickland (both initiated Beta Pi in 1972). A good time was had by all, despite the disappointing Homecoming loss at the hands of the South Carolina Game-Cocks. It was in the stands at the game, when the "J.D. siting" happened. J.D. was strolling down the bleachers, and when I sited him, I called his name. He responded "Dozo Lorenzo!" After J.D. left, my 21-year-old step daughter Maggie, a Belmont coed (who goes to all the VU Womens Basketball games) said to my wife Ann, "Mom, that’s that weird guy who sits behind us at the Womens’ games!" Thus, it may now be confirmed that J.D. Strickland has made memorable impressions on multiple generations of women. After the game, J.D. met us at the Tik House. J.D. still refuses to buy a computer. What more can be said about J.D.?


BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES OLLIE GRACE: Beta Pi Blog interviewed Ollie Grace at the Class of ‘76 Party. Ollie confesses that he is the proud father of 7 children! When informed about the persistent rumors that Ollie Grace had become obscenely wealthy, Ollie did not deny it. He merely said "You could say I got lucky." Mr. Grace, with 7 Grace clones now roaming the planet, it sounds like you are indeed getting "lucky" on a regular basis! We are proud of your success, financially and otherwise. Great to see you back at Reunion.


BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES STEVE QUATTROCHI: Steve and family recently relocated from Dallas/Fort Worth to the Middle Tennessee area, and got a place in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Steve, great to see you at Reunion, and welcome back to Tennessee!


CLASS OF ‘76 BEATS CLASS OF ‘75: With 5 alumni brothers in attendance, Class of ‘76 beat out last years less than impressive showing of 4 for the Class of ‘75. If each brother would commit to persuading just one brother to attend the next reunion, we will double our pleasure, and double our fun - and I ain’t talkin’ double-mint-gum!


In honor of these 2 new blog inductees, I’m posting a shot of Steve Quattrochi at the Fight, and a yearbook photo of Ollie Grace.
