Protests on campus:
​
I remember in the middle of the anti-war protests, when some marchers on campus got egged, and our national Phi Gamma Delta poohbah, what ever his title was, attended a pig diner and raged on about how all the protesters were traitors and cowards and he hoped we were among the eggers. When he was done, only Chris Tremblay and Jim Turner stayed in their seats, arms folded, while everyone else stood and applauded, albeit only politely. I was a coward and stood but did not clap. Still ashamed of that. Perge.

Protesting the Vietnam War
At Maine

 "As the marchers neared the main gate of the athletic field ...some students threw eggs at them."

"Our national Phi Gamma Delta poohbah, whatever his title was, attended Pig Dinner and raged on how all the protesters were traitors and cowards and he hoped we
were among the eggers." 

Chris Tremblay and Jim Turner

"When he was done, only Chris Tremblay and Jim Turner stayed in their seats, arms folded, while everyone else stood and applauded,
​albeit only politely. I was a coward and stood but did not clap. Still ashamed of that."

​“What if the space be long and wide,
That parts us from our brother’s side
A soul-joined chain unites our band,
And memory links us hand in hand.”
(Phi Gamma Delta fraternity song)

Fraternally,
