<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Brothers of APO Delta
Gamma:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for inviting me to the Awards Banquet and also thank
you all for the recognition plaque and gift card.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Both the card and plaque were totally
unexpected and are very much appreciated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I have not been able to personally attend chapter
events or meetings these past few years, I have been able to somewhat follow
the chapter activities and accomplishments through the various electronic media
that we now enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Reading of these activities and
accomplishments, along with the dedication and passion I see that go hand in
hand with them, never ceases to amaze me.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Delta Gamma is doing great things in the areas of leadership, friendship
and service.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It would be nigh unto
impossible to speak of how many lives you have incredibly touched and how many
great things have been achieved---all because of you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">H Roe Bartle once said (years and years ago) that to be
brother in APO meant you had to “..have love
in your heart…”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I can truly say that I
witnessed an example of what Bartle was speaking to during the Awards
Banquet.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The brotherhood that was being
shared was awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Thank you for
sharing that experience.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, I wanted to congratulate the brothers who put together
the awards program.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It was very well
done and very entertaining.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Congratulations also to all the award winners and special props to the
seniors.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>You have left your mark at OU
and within the Delta Gamma chapter.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I am
proud to call you brothers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all again.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Have a great and safe summer.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">In LF&S<br></p>
