Beta Pi:

IS "BETA PI BLOG" JUNK E-MAIL?: Yes, and no! It is not this e-mail. This e-mail contains some written content of the "Beta Pi Blog", not the entire content. The "blog" is a web-site, it includes pictures, links, Archives of previous issues, and other time-wasters. To get there, simply "Click on" the web address: http://journals.aol.com/lasimons4law/beta-pi-blog/ .

THE HEME TAKES COMMAND: The Heme has stepped up to be "point-man" for the Tick-a-lo’s-O-73! Heme is planning an "All-Tick-a-lo Dinner" Saturday evening, October 25th, at Rumba, a fashionable West End Restaurant. Heme, in an abundance of caution, I went ahead and made a reservation at Rumba for 24, and they are loose if more show up.

* FROM THE HEME:

"Larry:

I think Rumba, 7 pm is perfect. The invitation is extended to ALL Tic’s (and you know who you are), NOT necessarily from the class of ’73. Please pass the word and we need an approximate head-count for the reservation. (i.e.; If we say 20 and 28 show up, no problem, but 45 might be a problem.)

Please let Larry know if you can make it. How’m I doin?

George Tomlinson"

* FROM GEORGE "ABER" ABERNATHY:

"Heme, place an order for 2 more spots for me and Kimberly. Let's Rumba! Thanks"

* FROM JOHN "BOSS" STEIN: "I am in, total of two. jfs"

NON-OFFICIAL CONTINGENT TO REUNION GROWS - MARTY AND LOVE-MAN TO ATTEND! Reunion ‘08 will not be limited to Class-o-73 and Class-o-78 - I got word today that Immortal Marty, a.k.a. Frank Collins, ‘76 will be attending.

And The Love-Man, a.k.a. Tom Lovinggood, ‘74, and myself Bozino Lorenzo, ‘75 will be in attendance. And of course, what Reunion would be complete without a J.D. sighting?

HUGE GORILLA POPULATION FOUND IN CONGO! This is an amazing story - one that I thought M-LINK, a.k.a. George Ford would find interesting (See Link at right). Apparently, there is a massive throng-o-kong! Link, no monkeying around here, we love you - among Tick-a-lo’s, you will always be King (Kong).

SUNFLOWER BLUES FESTIVAL UPDATE: Ann and I are headed to Sunflower tomorrow! I’m ready fo’ big fun. My step-son William (age 19) is going with 5 of his buds - yeah. They are bringing their sleeping bags to camp out in our apartment guest room. The Festival line-up includes Lil’ Howlin’ Wolf, Jimbo Mathis, Super Chikan, Jimmy Burns, and Shemekia Copeland (See link on the right). Yow-za-bay-bay!
