July 2006

  • Jamie Howland and Rebecca Furer are getting married in October. Her mom is an Emma Willard grad, but fortunately she was there before Pi Lam occupied 300 Pawling Ave.
  • Ryan Klee is an active brother looking for some information: “Scouring the internet the closest thing I found was on a page about the history of societies at Dartmouth College, which listed a church that the Pi Lam chapter their once occupied. The link is of the follow: http://www.dartmo.com/halls/hallscontent6.html It was my understanding, reading Pi Lam history that the Yale chapter used to meet next to a church. We were really hoping to find that church, and wondering if you or any alumni you knew could help us out. Thanks for your help…”
  • Ed Klein and his wife Cristene are new parents to twins: Cooper James and Samantha Alice.
  • Vin Marbury from Va. Tech helps out with Ryan Klee’s history question: “Actually, when I was working on the 100th Anniversary Celebration at Yale in early 1995, I, along with two other alumni Brothers were given access to the Yale archives (not often given to “outsiders”) to peruse their yearbooks, etc. At that time, we were able to trace the Founding Fathers’ heritage and the early Pi Lam chapter houses within New Haven. The photos of Werner, Levy, and Fisher that now grace the cover of the New Member manuals are genuine ones that were photocopied from old Yale yearbooks. As for meeting places and houses, if I recall, one location is now a parking lot (so Frotteur is not too far off) but there were at least two other houses located near the campus. I believe that one was on Orange St and the other was on Trumbull St. One did appear to be of post-1920’s construction so the original house must have been replaced.”
  • Mark Hulscher runs an engineering consulting firm in Seattle called Monster Concepts. While his website needs some work, it can’t wait for more stuff, man alive.
