Dear Brothers: Sigma Nu Fraternity, Inc. As Regent of our Fraternity, alumni often ask me about the future 9 Lewis Street of our great Fraternity and what alumni can do to support and P.O.

FAX: 540.463.1669 My own experience as a volunteer for Sigma Nu over the last 22 years, serving from Chapter www.sigmanu.org Advisor to Division Commander to my current position as your 54th Regent, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

As usual, there was plenty of work to be done during the legislative sessions and committee meet- ings. But there was also plenty of fun. Special events of the Sun included an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game, visit to the campus of Arizona State University, and an alumni reception, including alumni from the greater Phoenix area. And, of course, the Grand Chapter was highlighted by a closing banquet and awards program. The Grand Chapter kicked off with a Sigma Nu visit to Bank One Ballpark, to see the Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Montreal Expos. This game was more special when GREG SWINDELL (Υ, TEXAS) was called on to pitch for the Diamondbacks. Not only was Brother Swindell pitching for the home team, he was cheered on by 300 enthusiastic Sigma Nus! 2 L The Delta of Sigma Nu www.sigmanu.org The Alcohol-Free Housing Review Committee presents its proposal that will Regent Howard Pickett Guest Speaker Mike Marchev govern the Fraternity in years to come.

Christy: Good Wyoming Stock: The Legacy of Joe and Arlene Watt The Sigma Nu Educational Foundation has received a copy of the book Good Wyoming Stock, a biography of Joe Watt (Ε∆, Wyoming) and his wife Arlene. The author, Gary L. Christy, although not a Sigma Nu, is a nephew of Arlene Watt. The book is a saga of families coming west, of homesteaders, farmers and ranchers. The central story is about a couple who started with five cows and a homestead and built a major ranch and cattle business. Together they made their lives and the lives of many others in their beloved state of Wyoming into some- thing worthwhile. Joe Watt, right, shares a fraternal moment with his fraternity Brother Watt, 94, son of a pioneer ranching family, was reared on the historic brother and fellow rancher Cliff Hansen. Triangle T ranch near Moorcroft. After attending the University of Wyoming with the class of 1928, he returned to the homestead with his wife to supervise the growth of his ranch. At the same time he became director of the Teton National Insurance Company and president of the National Bank of Newcastle. In addi- tion, he was appointed by then Governor Clifford Hansen (Ε∆, Wyoming) as a trustee of the University of Wyoming, serving terms as president and as treasurer of the Trustees. He and his family have been generous longtime contributors to his community and to the University, particularly to benefit the school of agriculture. His most recent philanthropic project includes the creation of a livestock arena and teaching center named in memory of Cliff and Martha Hansen's daughter. In 1966 Brother Watt was named to the Board of Directors of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, and the following year he was initiated by the Epsilon Robert L. Willett Robert E.
