An old Lambda Chi sends his greetings
My Brothers
You may or may not remember me. I was known as Haji, and at one time I was the only member to go from associate to alumni in one semester (Fall of '86. I am now working for Dallas Public Schools in their Public Relations Department. I was a reporter for six years, with assignments in New Mexico, Texas and Missouri for Scripps-Howard and Gannett News Service. Still single (although I came close to getting hitched in 1996) and now competing heavily in triathlons (after 15 years of competative running, I needed a change!) and enjoying it!

I'm also starting graduate school in the Fall of '98 at Southern Methodist University (insane, isn't it?). I recently competed in the Burnlake Triathlon, and afterwards I drove around 'Cruces, rediscovering some old haunts. I passed by the old house on Paseo Drive and University Ave. Looks nice! I then passed by the new house on University Drive. Needs work! No one was home, so I didn't stay.

Thanks for finding Ronen.
Hi. Thanks for this site. I've seen some names I haven't thought of in some time. I'm living in Carlsbad N.M. I am a speech and language therapist for the public school system in Carlsbad. I've also been married for 3 years in Dec. Please put me on your list of alumni.

Too cool, Brenda....
Thank goodness for technology. What would brothers do without wives? Kudos, Brenda.
ZG754--I guess I'm new old house, as I'm sure there's a young crop of chops right now. I am now living in Tucson after 4 years of ABQ. Very glad to find so many bros in PHX/TUC area. This will definitely be another way to keep in touch. Thanks Brenda.

Ahem. Attention everyone, my hubby wishes to post that the official score for the Old House versus the New House softball game was 31-30 - The Old House winning but allowing the New House to retain their pride, don't ya know. The Old House, came, saw and conquered and the New House wants a rematch. The Old House says 'sure - you buy the beer, we'll play ball!'
The Final this year is at the Inn at the Butte at Elephant Butte on May 1st at 7:30pm. Contact Lance Maurer for more information.
OK, here it is! Ralph sez the softball game & potluck BBQ will be at the West Mesa Park from 2 - 5 pm, W. of West Mesa High School. Go on Coors south of I-40 and right on Fontana. He's going to try and talk the Dinkels into having the BBQ (potluck, remember) at their place, good luck! Contact Ralph for more info. at (505) 994-0063 (Rio Rancho). It'll be a great time!
Shane Drake sent an email lamenting the sad state of the curtains at the house, does anyone have any printable ideas? Here is an excerpt from his note:
'Anyway, I just returned from a fun-filled weekend back in New Mexico, spent a day in Las Cruces, and drove by the new chapter house. I have to say I was somewhat saddened by the look of our letters hanging sideways on the front wall, next to a large window draped in old, stainy sheets. I bet over a thousand people a day drive by our house and see that.'
Any ideas, folks? Email Shane with suggestions.
Ralph Garcia would like to organize a softball game between the 'old guys' and the 'new' guys around the end of March, beginning of April - who is interested? Please contact Ralph at (505) 994-0063 (Rio Rancho).
Scott Bollig is going to Ireland in a couple weeks. Hm. Is anyone else except me jealous?? Darn it, I wish I could go somewhere besides the grocery store! Ah, well. Maybe if I recycle enough cans, Randy and I could take a vacation in the year 2030. Sigh.


Emails I've Received...

Super! It was great to see those old pictures. Great Idea. Dad said you and Randy visited his raspberry stand at the Growers Market a couple of times last year. Said you had some really cute kids. I'm sure they got that from you and not Randy... Again, Thanks! Geordie

Hello from Las Cruces,

Glad to hear someone is actually doing something with the homepage. I gladly give you permission to put my e-mail on the homepage. It will be nice to read old stories and talk to old friends. Thanks for keeping us together.

Scott Bollig:

Randy Randy Randy,

You crazy kid. Your wife makes a great little sister. She has more LXA pride than you or me.

I will write you all sooner and let you know the haps. Todd is working in ABQ now but still has his house in Roswell. He is not sure where he is going to live.

Gotta Go,

Scott

Tommy Hynes:

Hello, this is Tommy Hynes and proud to be Randy's Century brother. (Just wanted to thank you again for the beer you bought me in I think 1992!).

Bobby Kellogg:

Hi Brenda,

My name is Bobby Kellogg ZG750. I think it's great that you are putting together a site. I am currently working as a web designer and am more than willing to lend a hand. I'm pretty busy with my current projects right now, but can always answer any questions via e-mail or even do some work when I get a chance.

Let me know if I can help in any way!

Jeff Matthews:

Hi Randy and Brenda

I was messing around on the www, and came across the Lambda Chi page, hit the link and now have a headache (unrelated I think to seeing pictures of all of you guys in college).

So how's everything? I thought I'd drop you a quick note since I'm computer literate, have e-mail and all that jazz. I'm glad to see you all still stay in touch and with Ralph now living in the Albuquerque area along with Todd Bollig, it'll soon be like having activity directors around I'm sure. However, I've noticed how everyone, including Todd, has mellowed.

Anyway, this is my e-mail address for now. Feel free to splash it on here, I think this is a good idea. If I had some pictures scanned, I think I have like seven pictures of my whole college career and Lambda Chi days, I'd send them along. Maybe that can be a project now.

Anyway, hope all is well.

I also compiled a list of addresses for alot of the guys who were lambdas with me for my wedding a few years back and still have those addresses. I may send these guys all an e mail and ask if its ok to post the addresses on your page!

Please answer if you are interested in some of my collection of photos and lambda info!

Thanks for including me on the list.

Still work for Transco in Atlanta. Bought and remodelled a little house in Decatur (suburb to the east) last year. Ready to sell it before the trees in the backyard fall on it (and squash it) during the next big hurricane. Mountain Bike a lot and am trying to study for the Principles & Practice Exam, taking a class at Georgia Tech, fixing to either go work on a big construction project (build a compressor station from the ground up) in Alabama or get transferred to Salt Lake City. Its fun not to know whats up next..... at least for now. Went skiing in Utah and Colorado two weeks ago -- had way too much fun -- so you can imagine which place I'd rather be...

I'm glad there are folks inordinately proud of Mom & Dad's jam. I'll need customers like you all when I get downsized and go to work for Dad.

Again, I really enjoyed your web page. It is very well done. You should consider setting those things up for fun AND profit.
