"During my time at P&G and now at my family operation, being an AGR has created a great network of brothers throughout the country. That, combined with the Gamma Chapter helping me maintain my focus on my family and career, AGR at Penn State really set me up for success," Keith said. The Gamma Chapter has also become a family affair for Keith, with his son, David '94 (G1351), joining the chapter. "I have two brothers-in-law who are members of the fraternity, and I also look forward to my two grandsons getting involved with the Gamma Chapter." Gamma made such an impact on his life because of what the chapter has done for him over the years. He wanted to ensure that future generations are given the same opportunities. "Alpha Gamma Rho provides a unique experience for young men in their college days in managing a business of their own and building bonds of friendship at the same time," he said. "That would not be possible any place than living in a fraternity that is as strong as Alpha Gamma Rho." Keith and Helen live in Sacramento, Pennsylvania. He currently sits as Chairman of the Board on the Penn State Board of Trustees and is certified as an instrument rated pilot, flying regularly for his farming business. When not working, Keith enjoys golfing, biking, and skiing. You can contact Keith at kmasser@masserspuds.com. * Stephen Witmer '61 (G812) Russell J. Mitchell '62 (G825) John W.

We were welcomed by the undergraduates and were impressed by not just the quality of the house and its renovations, but also by the quality of the men living in our house now. The highlight of our weekend was a sit-down dinner in the dining room. The undergraduates deserve a huge thanks for a great kitchen crew, and a big thanks to retired house cook Carol Henry, and her daughter, current house cook, Holly, for making us your signature stromboli.
