Keith Loch '86 comments: "I remember meeting Burt in 1987, when I was on a path to join the Peace Corps. Alumni suggested I talk to Burton Gerber, who was at the Gamma Psi 35th anniversary. I remember the interesting conversation as Burt described how he worked for the 'U.S. State Department' in Iran and the Soviet Union. He complimented me on my pursuit of service to the United States." Of Ever Honored Memory WELCOME, SPRING 2025 NEW BROTHERS!
