Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2007, No.24 - Blues & Arms Aylward

Beta Pi:

As you may know, Bob "Arms" Aylward recently reminded me that he has Delta roots, having been born and raised in Pace, Mississippi, which is only 40 miles from Clarksdale (See Bob’s comment in Archives, Vol.2007, No.20).

BLUES & ARMS AYLWARD: So, today I stopped in to my old law office to pick up mail, and I get this package from Bob Aylward containing a handwritten note:

"Larry -

Since you plan on spending time in the Delta, I thought the attached magazine might be of interest. Maybe you could join the Delta Center. Enjoy

Arms Aylward"

Here’s my e-mail response to my old friend Arms:

"Bob:

I checked my old office (the office I moved out of 5 years ago) and I still get some mail there, although mostly junk mail. (My new mailing address is 214 Second Avenue North, Ste. 400, Nashville, TN 37201).

I was pleased to get the package you sent to me, with Delta Center for Culture & Learning Magazine. Thanks Bob, I will enjoy reading this.

Very thoughtful of you to send this. I was just there this past weekend, working on my building. I have a tenant in the front (that means positive cash flow) and the apartment in the rear will be ready for us to stay in for Sunflower Blues Festival in August. Why don't you and the Missus join us?

VTL,

Larry"

BLOG ROSTER UPDATE: I have a working roster totaling 75 Beta Pi brothers, a/k/a Tick-a-lors. 62 have e-mail addresses, and are on this Blog. Van Sayler is Worthy Keeper of the E-mail Address List, see Van’s Webpage (link on right). {David Howe is deceased, but I still carry his e-mail address, because David’s widow, Dara, told me she still gets David’s e-mail.} There are 12 brothers for whom I have no e-mail, but only a phone number or address, and for some I do not even have a phone number. I value your assistance in contacting these brothers - and if you get their e-mail address, please let me know, so I can electrocute them with this blog. Here are the unknown soldiers:
