Phi Kappa Psi - The Ohio State University

The Buckeye Phi Psi 2 n Visit http://ohiodelta.com to stay current with the Chapter. s advertised, Homecoming was held October 9, 2015, at the Scioto Country Club, which is always a nice venue. Greg Wittstock '89 was the entertaining speaker. Greg has developed a multi-state landscaping company and is one of our strong supporters. Along with Greg's talk, another highlight was the reappearance of my big brother and pledge trainer, Dick Winegarner '59. Dick disappeared to California after obtaining his engineering degree. It was great catching up and sharing memories of the great May Day parties at his family's home in Worthington. Another special event was the presentation of $101,000 in scholarships to many undergraduate members. I met last fall with Lee Fuller from the Fraternity Foundation. Lee is an Ohio University Phi Psi and a very affable fellow. We talked about the fraternity's emphasis on developing leadership traits and the importance of funding the Educational Leadership Conferences. Once again, I suggest that you make gifts to the leadership efforts or to the Foundation for the benefit of Ohio Delta. Most gifts should be tax deductible. You can contact Lee or Ben Nicol, CEO of the Foundation at National Headquarters, at (317) 275-3400. Or you could also talk with either of our Ohio Delta brothers who are on the National Foundation Board, Fred Hegele '63 (fred@ hegele.com) or Guy Spriggs '71 (kybudguy@ eagleky.com). It is an investment in some of our best people. There is great merit in encouraging lifetime friendships and associations. The 11/10/15 Dispatch reported that our Virginia Alpha Chapter (UVA) has joined in the $25 million suit for defamation filed by three fraternity members and an associate dean of UVA against Rolling Stone magazine. The issues of course surround the apparently egregious reporting of a false story about a rape involving several of the members. These are strange times with every vilification receiving widespread coverage and social reaction. CHAPTER ETERNAL J. Richard "Dick" Bull '43, age 91, entered Chapter Eternal in February.

He stayed in the Army Reserves, retiring as a full colonel after 23 years of service. He taught at the UMKC School of Dentistry, as well as in a private practice. For several years, John Gray '60 and Frank were roommates in the house and they remained close over the years. John and his wife were able to visit with Frank and his family several days before he died and attended his funeral. Frank's father was also a Phi Psi. Frank was my era in school. He was a fine undergraduate Phi Psi and obviously continued that as an Army officer, surgeon, family man, and citizen. As a final gesture, Frank made a very nice bequest to Ohio Delta through the Endowment Fund. Randy C. Ingold '67 entered Chapter Eternal on October 10, 2015.
