Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2010, No.18 - Reunion, Part 2, Police Action

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 and ATO Gal-Pals 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 .




REUNION 2010 - PART 2


SATURDAY ATO ALUMNI LUNCH: The Active Chapter, spear-headed by

Honest ABE BENAVIDES abraham.a.benavides@vanderbilt.edu



and MIKE SANDLER, Worthy Master, hosted an ATO Alumni Lunch!   Great deli-fest! Thanks to the Actives for hosting us. Among the Geezers that showed . . .

GENE YOUNG gyoung@westernwireprod.com ,     ART LANDRY awl@awlandry.net ,    FRANK COLLINS collinzes@gmail.com    and his beautiful family!   TISON KEEL tison.keel@hotmail.com ,  FRANK BILLER fbiller1@msn.com , and MARK McGANN markmcgann@bite-me.org .


FEATURE STORY!

POLICE ACTION: Additionally, after the ATO Alumni Lunch, there was a surprise and unannounced micro-porch-visit by

SEAN  International Man of Mystery  CONNERY.




Sean’s visit was so secret, no one knew he was coming, the blog did not know, not even Sean himself knew.  

Sean has no memory of the event.  If, in fact, there had been such an event, Sean would not be at liberty to discuss it, Sir! 

Sources tell the Blog that Sean likes to keep this quiet, but he is an agent of the G.B.I.

Traveling incognito, in super secret, is the price paid by agents of the Global Bureau of Investigation (G.B.I.).

So - SEAN, pictured here in his elaborate disguise, promptly Deputized TISON KEEL and ART LANDRY, and placed a secure perimeter around Fraternity Row.   All known ATO Alums were quickly confined to the House, and all  female passers-by were then placed under surveillance. 

No arrests were made, however stiff  warnings were given!  BEHAVE!




ALSO AT THE LUNCH . . . three ATO’s desiring to be added to the blog:

The following Beta Pi Brothers were recruited to join the Blog, as follows:

ALLEN FINFROCK afinfrock@finfrock.cc  ATO Class of 1990;   CHRIS GSTALDER c.s.gstalder@accenture.com  ATO Class of 2005; and  RICHARD LEVINE rlevine@tiaa-cref.org  ATO Class of 1981.  (Kidding, that's not a picture of Allen, Chris and Richard.  It's actually Marlon, Art and Buck after they got good  and greased.)

BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES THESE FINE BROTHERS!   Gentlemen, welcome aboard the Ship of Fools!

SATURDAY - TAILGATE: I should put my love-hate feelings toward Vanderbilt aside here, because Vanderbilt knows how to Tailgate. It is not the Ole Miss Grove, but then, nothing competes with that (folks decorating their tailgate spot with chandeliers and other goofy pomp). Vandy just puts on a great Tailgate.

Ann and I had the pleasure of company with JACK MUENCH and FRANK and MARY COLLINS and their beautiful kids. The bar-b-que was wunderbar!

SATURDAY - VANDERBILT FOOTBALL:

How do I love thee, let me count the ways . . . NOT!


Sports-writer I am not, and I had no takers when I offered the position of Blog Sports Correspondent to John Stein, Frank Biller and several others.  The position is still vacant, if anyone is interested. 





Vanderbilt vs. South Carolina was an interesting first and second quarter, we were tied, but just before the half South Carolina began a systematic trouncing, and it became progressively more difficult to watch the mayhem. The Ticks were able to utilize text-messaging to locate one another in the stadium, and make after-game plans.  That's it, no pictures or anything!
