Poor boy Dean Ho borrowed my sports coat, borrowed my car, washed his only sear sucker coat in the shower over and over again and then turned out to be the son of Hawaii's first "Oriental Millionaire!" But I still love him. He sang a great tenor and played a mean uke! He turned out to be a pretty good business man too.

This afternoon I had nothing better to do so I read your entire Profile site. I must say you had quite a distinguished career!! I did not know that Wes Hackett was the Dept. Head. We did a lot of the same things.....except I can't sing! I loved the posts about track. That was a fun time. Oh, by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Happy Birthday Lawrence. Well my friend, it looks as though you made number 86. Ya gotta get to 89 to catch me. Love you brother. Parry
Fritz was the consummate Theta Xi in every way. All you young members, walk in his footsteps, remember who you are and what you represent and you too will do our house proud.

As the years slip by I realize more and more what a blessing it has been to be a member of this group of guys called Theta Xi. There is no doubt in my mind that the influence it played in my life molded me into what I am today. At 88 years young I still conduct myself following the first rule I learned in the house....."remember who you are and what you represent." Thank you Theta Xi.
Parry
Well, another year has slipped by with fewer of us from this era left to wish each other HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Stay well my friend
Hey Lawrence..... Here's wishing you and your family a blessed Easter and you, my friend, a very happy birthday. I noticed that your profile has been the same for a little over a decade. Any updates we all should know about? I'm going to drive down and drop in for a visit just as soon as these atmospheric rivers stop coming our way.
Be good,
Parry
Have a good one, Mike!... I too was at Ft. Sill Artillery school followed by a stint at Fort Ord. Fort Sill was the only place I have ever lived where snow and dusty dirt blew at the same time.(mostly right threw the BOQ walls).

Have a good one Warren. I muse over all the crazy things we did in those days at the TX house.....good memories my friend!
They just keep on rolling by..... Have a good one , Bill. Sorry I never got to really know you in the house. My fault. Hope to see you on one of Tantau's video get togethers.
Happy B Day roomie. Glad to see you are still vertical! Best wishes to you and your family.
Parry
Happy B Day Lawrence. I hope this note finds you in good health. I know the rains we are all experiencing are exactly what you do not need in Linden. I pray that you and your family will all be safe. Good wishes to you my friend.
It was a Sutter Medical Group doctor that saved my life last year and put me on a total life style regimen that has gotten me to the healthy state that I am in today. Thank you Ron for creating that group and being the careing person that you were.
