30th Annual Jolly Ox

In 1974 a group of Alpha Iota's gathered at the Jolly OX restaurant on Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis on their way home from school the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. Little did we know then that it would start a tradition that celebrated it's 30th gathering this year. Over the years the conversation has moved from our marriages to our children's marriages, but once we get through the first round of chicken wings, we might as well be back in the chapter house living room. The stories are endless and everyone else in the joint is wondering how we could be having such a good time.

The attendees this year included Tom Knox, Dick Tetrick, Rob Romine, Mark Walden, Bruce Inman, Mike Smith, Gary Walker, Rob Fitting, Spencer Romine, Rich Francisco, Warren Hoffman, Bart Book, Jeff Dixon, Steve Click, Rick Sanders, Jeff Townsend, & Bruce Roberts. Over the years more than 50 brothers have attended and we look forward to many more years together.

If you happen to be in Indy the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, please stop by. We meet at 6pm at Taylor's Pub on the northeast corner of 86th street and Westfield. Contact Spencer Romine at rappraiser@aol.com for details.
