 Ok,
I promised this would be out early after Homecoming.
So I’m a little late, kill me!
2002 Homecoming again saw many new faces that
we have not seen before and many that we had.
This year was more special as it was our grand
opening of the remolded house and I think
every one enjoyed what they saw. Everyone
was glad to see the Cox brothers back with
us as well as Kevin Craft ‘84, Mark
Eye 94, Kris Kostenko ‘92, Brian Vest
‘97,Bill Rendfrey ‘77, Ronald
Parker ‘78, David Carrico ‘81,
Michael Phillips ‘94, Gary Moody ‘82,
Craig J. Miller ‘76, Tom Woodbury ‘71,
Steve Knowles ‘84, Ken Ragle ‘85,
Melvin Jenkins ‘95 and a slew of other
brother I know I forgot to mention. We had
about 65 brothers attend this year.
One change was the after game Smoker on Saturday
night. Everyone who came back after the game
enjoyed being able to socialize a little longer.
We didn’t have the usual Bonfire on
Friday night since it was unseasonably warm
for that time of the year, but trust me, it
was smokin on the deck. For those of you who
were there Saturday morning you were treated
to a show on the deck. You would have had
to be there to know what I mean. 2003 is right
around the corner, make plans.

In
the last newsletter many things were unsure about
the house. Like this alumni association I cannot
believe how fast things have happened. Thanks to
the help of Compton Construction in Princeton the
whole interior of the house has been gutted and
renovated to make one large meeting room and an
Alumni Guest room. We were able to keep all the
utilities and finally have two working bathrooms.
The cost of the renovation was a little over $18,000
which we raised a little over $3,000 from supporting
alumni. Hopefully I can raise a campaign to help
support the rest of the bill. One thing left needed
at the house is heat. It was one cost I was unable
to incur this year. Looked like it would run about
$3,000 to install a good working unit, so until
we do, in the Winter months we have closed the house
down. We do have space heaters and the Alumni Room
has baseboard heat in an emergency. Thanks to Brother
White (advisor) for making sure the house was closed
before the real freeze came.
