Beta Pi:
IS BETA PI BLOG WITHOUT ANY REDEEMING SOCIAL OR ARTISTIC MERIT?:
YEA . . . . or 
NAY?
Beta Pi Blog exists for one reason: to bring ATO, Beta Pi Chapter Brothers together.
The blog does not take itself very seriously - it is meant for fun, and therefore is non-political. It includes
pictures, links, Archives of previous issues, and other time-wasters.
To get there, go to web address: http://beta-pi-blog.blogspot.com .
SAGA OF STUBBS:
I had all but given up on Cory Stubbs Clark, Class of 74, I had devoted blogs to him (See Archive, Vol.2007, No.24, April 2007),
Alas, no one knew where on earth the Mighty Stubbs was to be found.
Echoing in the canyon, I could hear STUBBY ... stubby ... stubb ... stu ... s
So I’d given up hope. Today, out of the blue, I get this e-mail from Mighty George Aber Abernathy gabernathy@greshaminc.com :
Cory and his wife, Margaret, spent the night with us last night, and they are doing great. They are headed to Jacksonville, FL to attend his 40th high school reunion. Please add STUBBS to the Beta Pi Blog distribution, and his email address is stubbs639@gmail.com . He wants to hear from all the boys!
Aber
Thanks, Aber - well done. Without further - to do -
BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES THE INIMITABLE CORY STUBBY CLARK!
Just one question, Stubbins, how did you manage to stay incognito since 1984, for 26 freakin’ years?
The Yeomen have missed ya - ARRRGH!

FROM SCOTT SHEPARD, July 10, 2010:
"Won't be able to attend! No available vacation time."
TO SCOTT: All right then, you're off the hook this year - but your Class of 77 year is coming up - in 2012, so this is your wake-up call, to plan ahead and have a few "vacation days" in reserve for Reunion Weekend 2012 in October. Your mission - should you decide to accept it - is to get as many of your guys pumped as possible, and show up! That is a tough mission, because like my Class of 75, your guys from 77 are generally lame. This blog will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
FROM SEAN WALSH, July 11, 2010:
"just read your email. What dates are homecoming ? I'm to lazy to look it up.
Sean."
TO SEAN: Sean! Taking your monthly 15 minute break? - outstanding! What I want to know is - are you sleeping at least one night a week?
Homecoming/Reunion is October 22 - 23.
I am so proud of you - reading your e-mail once a month! Wow, progress is a beautiful thing. Hope to see you old friend.
FROM MATT HART, July 12, 2010:
"Senor Stubbs was also the Torch Man for the Original Thin Man/Human Toast."
TO MATT: Thanks for the historical footnote. How did Stubbs earn his nickname?
PHIBES, ON THE ORIGINS OF STUBBY'S NICK-NAME:
"I believe it was from the Greek. Cory was trying to roll a # but his fingers were so large and wide and Stubby that he had a hard time>"
TO PHIBES: Somehow, I do not expect Stubbs to coroborate that highly questionable account. Amusing, nevertheless!
THE FIRST UTTERANCE FROM STUBBY IN 26 YEARS (exclusively on Beta-Pi-Blog)!
"Matt gave me that name---because he said I was STUBBY for a football player----Matt named everybody that year !!!"
TO STUBBS: I find that hard to believe Stubby - in light of what Phibes already testified to. I had heard your nick-name actually had to do with the size of something-or-other, observed in the locker-room shower. Frank Biller said it best: "It's not the size of the pen that counts, it's how you sign your name!" HAAA!
FROM CORY CLARK, July 12, 2010:
"you know---It could have been the greek that did give me that name--BUT--I would like a conformation--on that subject---from some reliable--sources"
"I do not think-the name came fm. the locker rm.-----Check w/ the Greek"
