SCHWIMBAG WELBORN SURFACES!: As usual, boredom set in early today - so I began to rifle through names, looking for inspiration. I came upon the name George C. Welborn, a Tick-a-lor from the famed Class-o-74, whose e-mail address had been unknown on the blog. So, as usual, I went to Vanderbilt Online Directory, looking for clues, when to my surprise, new information appeared for the schwimbag George Welborn gwelborn@mindspring.com . If that doesn’t work, here’s a phone number (770) 955-1373 . Welborn - sounds like a name that came down from England, the "well born" or well bred - sniff-sniff! As I recall, George was rather tightly wound (I was, too). Swim on, Mighty Schwimbags! Wherefore, and the hereinabove notwithstanding,
BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES GEORGE WELBORN! A poem is in order:
O, Schwimbag
O, Schwimbag, Schwimbaggio
You swam in the sea
But a crab must have bit yo’
Little wee-wee!
BETA PI BLOG ROSTER STATS: The Blog roster now stands at 85 Beta Pi brothers, 75 of whom have e-mail addresses. If you have an e-mail address on a Brother - don’t keep it a secret!
VTL,

Beta Pi, 72

FROM GEORGE WELBORN, February 7, 2008:
"Hello Larry,
Thanks for reconnecting me to the rest of the Tick-a-los. Seems like your poetry has not improved much though. Hope you are doing well.
Do I have to do anything to get your blog emails in the future or did you add me already?

TO GEORGE "AMPH-MAN" WELBORN, February 7, 2008:
George:
You're right - I still suck at poetry! Check out one of my poems at Issue # __, Archives. I send out e-mails as a heads up. The actual blog is a website, the address (URL) is in the e-mail - just click on it, is all you have to do. Glad you're on board. Call up Doug Campbell and give him some s_ _ t!
Sometimes, the editorial staff (that'd be me) receives info on a brother - and I have received some on you - all good, I might add. I've learned that you are married, have one son recently out of college, and two younger children. I learned you got the nick-name "Amph-Man" because of the mighty intensity of your spirit. I love that, because I myself am a highly intense individual. Right on, Amph-Man - I love you Brother!

FROM JEFF OVERBY, February 9, 2008:
"Hi, thanks for the phone number for George Wellborn.. I gave him a call as did Aber... he is doing well, living in Atlanta... he had not heard of the beta pi blog... you should add him...jeff"
TO JEFF: I'm glad you reconnected with George - and glad to hear Aber reconnected with George - that's what this is all about. I just received a comment from George - your comments must have come flying in simultaneously. And, absolutely, add-in-ski!
I'm posting your comment at Vol.2008, No.08. Be well, ILAMATOB,
Larry
