Lasting friendships

Jack Anderson, Kappa ‘59 (Bowdoin)

In early September, 1956, I was one of twenty four pledges at the “old green Shoebox”on the Bowdoin College campus, the Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon.

The following nine months were probably nine of the best years of my life. The Ron Goltz’s, Don Bennett’s, Ernie Belforte’s, Chet Cooke’s, Steve Anderson’s, Buzzy Burrowes’, and “Brud” Stover’s, to name a few, along with my fellow pledges will always be in my fondest memories. Alas, I partied, raised hell, and “strayed” from academia, and was not invited back for a second year.

But life went on, I survived and still have lasting friendships and my fond memories of “Old Psi U”!

PS. Looking forward to the 50th reunion of Bowdoin’s Class of “59″…
