He selected DKE because they had the best group of guys, and it didn't hurt that the food prepared by chef "Mac" MacDonald was renowned on campus. Food or no food, he ended up developing a group of friends whose bonds are as strong today as they've ever been. Today Tim is a major donor to the DKE Sesqui- centennial campaign drive because he thinks the University's leadership has given the frater- nity a raw deal in recent years. Donations that he would normally have given to the Univer- sity itself have been redirected to DKE. (And as it happens, one of the fraternity's fundraising goals is to generate enough money to renovate the kitchen and reopen the eating club that has attracted so many leaders over the years.) "If you enjoyed being a brother at DKE, made good friends and memories, and want to ensure that the fraternity stays on campus for your children and grandchildren, then it's important to be part of the campaign now," he says. Tim began contributing to the life of the fraternity from the moment he joined and was se- lected as leader of the pledge class. He was later social chairman, and aer a football injury kept him from playing on the field, he became the team's head manager. Aer graduation he went into the Navy OCS and when he completed his service joined his family's financial services company in Pittsburgh. He later founded his own firm, which was eventually ac- quired by Janney Montgomery Scott. He has returned to campus for reunions and the recent DKE sesquicentennial gala. He has also stayed in touch with his DKE brothers, vacationing once a year on Cape Cod with Bob Schmidt '65 at his place in Chatham. He also visited Mark "Sandy" Creed '65 and his wife, Alex, shortly before Sandy died and they spent an aernoon laughing, crying, and telling old stories. It was a memorable time not to be forgotten. Tim's wife, Susan, died in 1992. He has two children and two young twin granddaughters, of whom he says, "ank God they don't look like me." He still lives in Pittsburgh and can be reached at cakes3232@gmail.com. Tim Lynch (right) with his brother, Clay, played golf at St. Andrews Old Course in Scotland in 1992. Tim Lynch and family
