Richard Myers '65, won the inaugural ΣAE alumni March Madness pool. Gen. Myers said he worked backward in the bracket, first picking his final four of UConn, Purdue, Iowa State, and Houston. "I love college basketball and pay attention to the better teams throughout the season," Myers said. Second place went to Adrian Pujol '95 in a tiebreaker over Alan Stetson '80 in third. Gen. Myers wins a K-State football signed by Chris Klieman. Pujol wins a basketball signed by Jerome Tang, and Stetson wins a K-State lavender sweatshirt. Pujol is a director of SNP Distributors in Santa Monica, California. Stetson is senior trust and care officer for Assured Trust Co. in Overland Park. The March Madness pool was the idea of Philanthropy Chairman Ashton Boomer '26 to get alumni involved in Kansas Beta charitable giving. The pool raised $640 for Children's Miracle Network, an ΣAE- approved charity. Boomer hopes that more alumni will join in the fun next year. C H A P T E R E T E R N A L
