David was the type of standup guy that any brother would want to introduce to his sister, which is exactly what I did. I'm happy to report that my matchmaking, along with fellow matchmaker and Beta Mu brother Bruce Bennett '73, resulted in a long, happy marriage for Anne and David."

We will set a place for him at our next Texas-OU Weekend Pike dinner in Dallas," added hoppy strickland '71.
