DEAR BROTHERS

Knight Commander's Message

Kappa Alpha Order is thriving!

Today, KA has 118 chapters across the nation. KA is growing and at the close of our successful spring term, we are near our all-time high Active Membership at nearly 7,700 undergraduate members. We are also closing in on 185,000 total initiates in our history.

Academically, our chapters continue to excel: the average chapter GPA this past fall was a 3.025 continuing a streak of several semesters at or higher than 3.0, our stated Order-wide goal. In keeping with our motto Excelsior, we will continue to focus on academic excellence. With the support of the Executive Council, I created the Province Realignment Working Group in 2022. Their charge was to review current province boundaries and consider reconstituting provinces to better re ect today’s communication, ef ciency of resources, and volunteer allocation. Further, they were to consider historical boundaries, geographic areas and borders, Courts of Honor as well as number of chapters. Additionally, they took into consideration the current model and structure of Of cer Training Conferences.

Following the working group’s report, on July 29, 2022, the Advisory Council voted to reconstitute several provinces. You may read about these changes on page 72–73. Of note, the two pre-existing provinces in Texas including Mikell Province (northern Texas) and Walsh Province (southern Texas) were reconstituted to one province for the entire state of Texas. Pursuant to the Order’s Constitution, I then named this reconstituted province as the J. Michael Duncan Province in honor of our 38th Knight Commander.

This summer, we turn our eyes to the 80th Convention and Brotherhood weekend at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida, August 10–12. We will conduct the business of the Order, celebrate our accomplishments, and continue to aim for excellence. We will also elect and install King V. Aiken, Jr., the current Senior Councilor, as the 42nd Knight Commander. I’m excited to be with the KAs in attendance for my 15th straight Convention!

I remain proud to be a KA and I am honored to continue to serve as your Knight Commander.

May God Bless the Kappa Alpha Order.

Letter From the Editor

In the summer of 2002 I moved to Lexington, Virginia, to begin working for KA and fell in love with the entirety of its surroundings. Lexington and Rockbridge County are a tapestry of unique people, places, and things, woven in an unmatched historical pattern.

A world class horse center thrives at the junction of two major interstates. Two historic, yet divergent, institutions of higher education—one with red brick buildings with white columns, and another with drab grey Gothic Revival ramparts, share a border. Their architectural distinction is further embodied by the iconic make-up of the W&L students and VMI cadets.

Beautiful outdoor scenery including the mighty Maury River complements the American history scattered throughout the area. One cemetery in town is a one of a kind having the nal resting place of at least one American killed on the eld of battle in every war in the country’s history. And of course, plenty of speci c southern history too—Lee, Jackson, and others made impact here and were laid to rest here.

KA was of course founded at Washington & Lee as was the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society, the latter having returned home relocating its headquarters in 2013 to celebrate its centennial in 2014. At the adjacent Institute, Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Nu Fraternities were founded—and Sigma Nu also calls Lexington home. An idyllic downtown lled with shops, restaurants, and other businesses is the nexus around which the whole unique apparatus revolves.

I forgot one mention: One of the Order’s nest, George C. Marshall (Beta Commission–VMI 1901).

General Marshall’s legacy of leadership is preserved at the George C. Marshall Foundation, strikingly headquartered in the heart of VMI’s post. I remember touring the Foundation and then museum in 2002, hearing more and more about the impact Marshall had on America and the world and wondering, “why do more people not know about this man?”

VMI has produced her share of leaders since 1839; and since 1868, many have been KA members. But one stands above them all—literally, on the parade ground in the form of a bronze statue, the cast for which is on display at the National Administrative Of ce at Mulberry Hill.

Marshall once said, “Don’t ght the problem, decide it.” Nothing will eliminate our problems, but deciding the solutions may be a better path to prosperity and peace.

I hope you enjoy reading about your fraternity brother, General Marshall, and take pride in the impact each of us make on the world.

Fraternally,

WHO ARE YOU?

Capt J. Tyler Ammen

(THETA COMMISSION–CITADEL ’14)

Few surnames exact a reaction in KA other than “Ammen.” Tyler Ammen

is a graduate of The Citadel and upon graduating, was initiated into KA by the Theta Commission. He is the great (several times) grand-nephew, of none other than our practical founder, Samuel Zenas Ammen. He commissioned in the U.S. Marine Corps and is currently stationed at Marine Detachment, Ft. Lee in Petersburg, Virginia. He is the Alpha Company Commander, overseeing the Marine Corps’ Air Deliver, Bulk Fuel, Personnel/ Retrieval/Processing, and Food Service Schoolhouses that train, mentor, and develop roughly 2,000 entry-level students annually.

Last summer, Tyler spoke to the attendees of the 2022 Emerging Leaders Academy in Lexington and has remained connected KA since his joining in 2014. In June he’ll attend the U.S. Army’s Logistics Captains Career Course (also located on Fort Lee) until November and then he and his family will be on to the next set of orders— location TBD!

What are you reading right now and why?

I am currently reading “Fortunate Son,” by Lewis B. Puller, Jr. While many people who are familiar with Marine Corps history know of “Chesty” Puller, few know the story of his son who was a Vietnam Vet/double-amputee that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. For my Master’s (International Studies at Old Dominion University) I am currently reading “War by Other Means,” by Robert D. Blackwill and Jennifer M. Harris which focuses on geoeconomics and statecraft.

What is in your DVD/ Streaming queue and why?

My wife and I are currently working our way through Yellowstone on Paramount Plus (we also just wrapped up 1883, which was fantastic). My other streaming queue consists of podcasts ranging from Joe Rogan to Jocko Willink. I specifically enjoy podcasts while running and exercising, because it provides a great time to listen to leadership examples and lessons from many different perspectives and careers.

4 WWW.KAPPAALPHAORDER.ORG
Top: Tyler speaking at ELA.

What is on your music playlist and why?

My top two playlists on Pandora are Luke Combs and AC/DC. I listen to the country genre when it’s time to kick back and relax, and rock and roll when it’s time to put some work in at the gym!

What do you (or did you) think/know about your KA family history?

My family history is something that was truly exciting to discover. Samuel Zenas Ammen’s legacy with KA is something that I am still learning about and proud of (my son Samuel is his namesake)! When I found out that The Citadel has a KA Commission, that ignited a fire in me to pursue joining this great organization.

Tell us about your current duties in the USMC?

What is your military or career goal?

The Marine Corps has been a truly rewarding experience and I plan on staying in as long as I am able to contribute to the organization (ideally more than 20 years). The Marine Corps has provided my family with unique opportunities, and we are excited for what the future holds! As a career goal, I would like to continue deploying in support of exercises and operations abroad.

What do you do for leisure/ hobbies?

My wife Ashley and I enjoy camping with our two sons Samuel and Elijah. Being stationed in Virginia has given us a unique opportunity to travel to many different state parks and the Shenandoah National Park. Aside from camping with the family, I enjoy recreational shooting, fi shing, and working out.

Why did you join KA after graduating from The Citadel? Due to The Citadel’s restriction on fraternities for cadets, I was not able to join KA until graduating in 2014. Nonetheless, The Citadel’s Theta Commission put on a remarkable ceremony for initiates upon graduation. I specifically chose to join KA because of my family history and the values that KA stands for. These values serve to unify and connect like-minded men with imperative moral values that are vital for leaders.

I am currently a company commander for the Marine Detachment at Fort Lee, Va. In this role, I have the privilege and responsibility of overseeing the entry-level, intermediate, and advanced schools for Aerial Delivery, Food Service, Bulk because we get to see young Marines learn their craft, graduate, and move on to support the Fleet Marine Force.

What is something you’d tell a young KA thinking of military service?

For me, I joined both KA and the Marine Corps because I want to be part of something bigger than myself. On top of that, I also want to join organizations that strategically select their members to ensure that their teams are morally and ethically strong. Ultimately, if military service is something that has crossed your mind, then find something that interests you and see if the military has that as a specialty. With active and reserve options, you can serve in a wide range of capacities!

A Spark of Revolution

The author of the Order’s most recent histories, “Excelsior: The Story of Kappa Alpha Order (2015)” and “The Compendium History of Kappa Alpha Order (2018)” is at it again with a story of the nation’s founding “as much a mystery being solved as a story being told.”

“A Spark of Revolution” is the long untold tale of Thomas Jefferson’s only professor, Benjamin Franklin’s protégé, Matthew Boulton’s co-conspirator, and James Watt’s colleague and collaborator. For more than 250 years, William Small has remained a minor and often overlooked footnote in the biographies of each of these men.

He brought to the College of William and Mary and to Thomas Jefferson and his Revolutionary classmates the tenets of the Scottish School of Common Sense and the enthusiasm for Newtonian physics and the scientific method, he advised and assisted Matthew Boulton in refining Soho Factory into the model for the Industrial Age, and he coached and collaborated with an unknown Scottish mechanic, James Watt , on the vehicle that transformed Britain and the world from agrarian societies into industrial powerhouses— the steam-engine, and with Ben Franklin he promoted and encouraged the effort in the spread of scientific and philosophical improvement known as the Republic of Letters.

Perhaps the only thing more remarkable than Small’s extraordinary life was the fact that nothing about his own has been known until the publication of this book. The difference between this narrative and the conventional biography is that it is as much a mystery being solved as a story being told.

Dr. Martin Clagett has been investigating the connections between the Scottish Enlightenment, the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution for more than twenty years. His research has taken him to the archives of America, England and Scotland. In the course of his investigations he has received a grant from the Earhart Foundation to delve into the archives of Aberdeen, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Birmingham; he was a Visiting Scholar to the James Wilson Programme at St Andrews, named a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Virginia, appointed as the Gilder-Lehrman Fellow at the International Center for Jefferson Studies in Charlottesville, and served as the Omohundro Scholar in Residence at the College of William and Mary.

QUESTION

I wanted to surround myself with a group of guys that shared the same values and morals as myself. A group of men that not only respected God and women, but themselves as well.

 Gray Frederick (Epsilon Nu—Georgia College ’20), Track and Cross Country

I chose to rush the Order because I felt like I needed a family outside of just tennis. I will say joining Kappa Alpha Order has made me a better player on and off the court, from grades to my performance on the court. I have gained a lot more confidence and grit and have established much more leadership on the tennis court that I gained from being president and from the variety of leaders in our chapter.

Vesko Lekovic (Xi—Southwestern ’19), Tennis

I joined the order due to its core values and its emphasis on being a gentleman.

 Michael Dangler (Alpha—Washington & Lee ’22), Football

I chose to join KA because of the opportunities that arose with the brotherhood. KA is a door of opportunity that leads you countless possibilities. I would have never thought I would be a president of a chapter, let alone being part of a fraternity, due to sports. With enough effort, anything can happen.

If you have seen "Top Gun: Maverick,” you have seen the work of brother Frank J. Weisser III (Sigma Beta Commission–USNA ’22), who played a very important role in the movie.

As a former member of the Navy's Blue Angels, Frank was asked to do some of the plane stunts that can be seen in the film such as the scenes flying at low altitudes, Maverick's first flight of the film, and more!

Check out his interview with Good Morning America.

Thanks Brother Weisser!!! from an Omicron ’76 brother … and SAC brat

The previous issue of The Journal, titled “Unknown Legend,” featured football star Jack Jacobs (Beta Eta–Oklahoma ’39). The article was originally published in Fall 2017 issue of Sooner Magazine and was mailed to The Journal with a note from one of Jack’s contemporaries, Arthur C. Wood, Jr. (Beta Eta–Oklahoma ’38). Arthur, who served as Hamer Province Commander in 1946 and 1947 and is now 102 years old, still has fond memories of his fraternity brother.

“He was a nice guy.” Arthur commented. “He started a year or two after I started there [University of Oklahoma]. We had a heavy concentration of members from around Muskogee, Oklahoma. He went to high school over there and was, of course, a star. The boys from Muskogee helped him get settled and everything. He went out for his rst game, and we received, and he ran for a touchdown. They were amazed to have him around.”

WHY I Protect Sea Turtle Nests

When I bought my coastal property near Gulf Shores, Alabama, I looked for ways to enjoy the outdoors and to hopefully make a difference in my new community.

At the urging of my oldest son John (Beta Xi–Oklahoma State ’02), my wife Polly and I became involved with the Share the Beach Program. This organization, under the watchful eye of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, patrols the coastal beaches of Alabama. They work to identify sea turtle tracks and nests. They also monitor nest sites and document the nesting and hatching of endangered sea turtles in our area.

Each volunteer must undergo training and testing set up by the Alabama Coastal Foundation. They need to have a working knowledge of the Alabama Sea Turtle Conservation Manual before they are allowed to go with an experienced walker to identify tracks, nests, and false crawls.

Being on the beach by 5:30 am to walk your 2-mile circuit and helping to educate tourists of the various complexities of a turtles nesting routine can make for a busy day. Our daily patrol covers more than eight miles of beach with a season that lasts from early May until the end of October. It takes a lot of trained volunteers to make things happen.

We are blessed with great group leaders who handle scheduling and

logistics for the daily turtle walks. We also have a dedicated group of nest sitters who brave sand, rain, and mosquitos for several nights at each nest to get our hatchlings safely to the water.

COVID-19 caused some additional pressures on our volunteers. At one point, we had be fever-free before each walk and maintain social distance while wearing masks. The number of volunteers allowed on each daily walk was also decreased as well as the number of persons available to document new nests and assist with nest sitting.

These changes in gathering sizes made it harder for new volunteers to get the experience. Nevertheless, the organization continues to thrive. Thousands of man hours in volunteer service provide a profound impact on the coastal ecosystem. Those of us who take only p hotos and leave only footprints are working to keep out beaches clean and to keep the breeding grounds for nature’s treasures intact for the next generation.

SPRING 2022 | THE KAPPA ALPHA JOURNAL
I have always enjoyed observing nature. Whether it be from a canoe on the Bu alo River or a deer stand in South Texas, the majesty of wildlife and the complexity of the ecosystems has always intrigued me.

Covers from the War

The Kappa Alpha Journal was first piblished in 1879, and was primarily a literary magazine. Those first three issues contained chapter news, editorials, pictures, let alone any color or illustrations—and covers were text based. But, the Journal grew and adapted and expanded and became more of an organizational “organ” touting successes and tracking with American and world events.

As World War II grew nearer, attention was turned on our members and chapters and the effects it would have on them— and the effect they would have on the War.

Even though you learn to never judge a book by its cover, the covers of a magazine in themselves are a glimpse into what was important to the organization, and the world, at that time.

November 1940

When President Roosevelt signed the historic Draft Bill recently, two Kappa Alphas stood at his elbow. The picture on the cover shows the President in the act of signing.

With him (left to right) are Secretary of War Henry Stimson; Representative Andrew May, chairman of the Military Affairs Committee of the House, whose son is Andrew Jackson May, Jr., (Omega–Centre 1924); Chief of Staff George C. Marshall (Beta Commission–VMI 1901); and Morris Sheppard (Omicron–Texas 1892), chairman of the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate.

January 1942

The picture on the cover may appear to some that we are a bit previous with this type of display; however, we realize the War is upon us and it will symbolize what may happen to our American youth.

This was used in connection with a story in our Journal in May, 1935, sketched by Brother A. L. Jones, Jr., of Alpha Omicron, 1929.

SPRING 2022 | THE KAPPA ALPHA JOURNAL 11

January 1943

Obviously this issue of the Kappa Alpha Journal marks a departure from the policy of many year standing. Never before has the fraternity attempted to publish a newspaper form a ecting the organization and its members, particularly those in service. Conditions brought this about. Those responsible for this innovation hope it will be pleasing to all.

Our efforts are directed to news from the alumni and undergraduates and to list the known members in the Armed Forces. The success or failures as to the correctness of our Service Members’ List, will depend in a great measure on your e orts to furnish the Editor with names and addresses of all our brothers in various branches of Service. Check the list and send us those who may have been left out.

November 1943

This issue depicts the symbol which we feel will play a large part in the victory for the peace that will be ours. Our badge of membership is worn by brothers in all branches of Service. The motto signifies another of those things which are worth fighting for.

March 1945

From the Public Relation Office of the Eighth Air Force Liberator Station, England, came the picture. Kappa Alpha does not find itself standing short when it comes to worldwide representation. The fortune of war have flung its fraternity brothers far beyond the shores of America on to every battlefront and into every theatre of operations.

In England, two brothers, First Lieutenant Delbert M. Mann, Jr., of Chi [Vanderbilt], and Corporal Irwin Belk, of Sigma [Davidson] and Upsilon [North Carolina], found themselves stationed at the same B-24 base and both assigned to the S-2 section of the station command.

Lieutenant Mann is assigned to the Target Identification branch of the S-2 section. He has been in the Army about two and a half years and overseas nine months. He holds the Air Medal, with three Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Corporal Belk is a clerk at the S-2 section and has been in the Army about 15 months and overseas 11 months. Both of our brothers are members of Colonel A. W. Reed's 491st Heavy Bomber Group, of the Second Bombardment Division, commanded by Major General William E. Kepner.

November 1945

This describes a momentous occasion in our history. The members reading from left to right, are: Robert V. Fleming (Alpha Nu), president of Rigg National Bank, Washington, D. C.; Brigadier General Robert N. Young (Beta Kappa) , Commandant, Military District of Washington; General George C. Marshall (Beta), Chief of Sta of the United States Army; Frank H. Myers (Alpha Nu), Councilor, Kappa Alpha Order; Theron Lamar Caudle (Tau), Assistant United States Attorney General; and Howard P. Locke (Alpha Nu), Tax Division, United State Department of Justice and Commander of Wood Province, Kappa Alpha Order.

The presentation of a jeweled Kappa Alpha Badge to General George Catlett Marshall (Beta) took place at the Pentagon Building, Washington, D. C., in the o ce of Chief of Sta of the United States Army, on Thursday, October 11, 1945, at 4 P.M. … General Marshall responded by saying that he was appreciative of the beautiful gift and the generous words in its presentation.

He further stated that the emblem took him back many years when he was a student at Virginia Military Institute and to the small group that later was initiated into Kappa Alpha upon graduation. He had never known another group that was so closely tied together by association. He announced that he expected to retire to civilian life shortIy and the pin would be the first addition to his civilian wardrobe. He was very happy to have a Kappa Alpha badge again as the one that he had secured after his initiation, he had given to Mrs. Marshall many years ago, and it had been lost in one of the many moves that they had made in Army Service.

LETTERS

Dear Kappa Alpha Order,

I want to thank you for the ideals you hold dear and in turn, instill in young men. Those ideals helped build the foundation for Paul to live an extraordinary life. Paul dearly loved KA and enjoyed his service to his fraternity from undergraduate days to Province Commander. Some of our fondest memories involve KA events.

To ful ll Paul’s wishes and pledge to the Order, I am enclosing a check to the Educational Foundation. May this donation assist in furthering the mission of KA.

Fondly, Barbara Artman

Marshall is born in Uniontown, Penn. To George Catlett Marshall Sr. and Laura Bradford Marshall— one of three children.

When Gen. John Pershing was not satis e ith the trainin for trench warfare in France in 1917, Marshall defended their methods given the lack of supplies. Pershing recognized a soldier not frightened to speak the truth, and soon had Marshall detailed to headquarters. This took Marshall away from leading troops but gave him a chance to develop experience in tactics and logistics. Working with the American Expeditionary Forces also taught him about multi-national military cooperation.

Marshall continued to serve with Pershing as his aide-de-camp after World War I. He was stationed in China again in the 1920s, where he furthered his study of the history, culture, and language of China, an aid to his postwar career. George and Lily Marshall thoroughly enjoyed their time in China, but Lily’s health was faltering, and she died of a heart attack shortly after the Marshalls’ return to the United States.

In 1927, Marshall was appointed the head of instruction at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he completely revamped the curricuum for infantr o cers hese reforms yielded well-known leaders; more than 200 served as generals in World War II. It was while Marshall was at Fort Benning that he met and married his second

KA Journal Report

Beta Chapter is reported as publicly closed “In this issue we have to announce the extinction of our Beta Chapter at the Virginia Military Institute. Our boys there held their ground long and faithfully, and have our sincere sympathy in their misfortune. We assure them, that while we, as a fraternity, hate to

give them up, that they will be remembered with honor for their manly and constant adherence to our cause.” However, it is apparent through Journal reports and Annual Catalogues, that Beta continued to initiate new men, after graduation, through the assistance of Alpha chapter, other chapters, and alumni—several alumni “personal reports” in the magazine carry initiation dates from 1885–1890s.

According to research conducted by Former Knight Commander Henry J. Foresman (Beta Commission–VMI ’41), it was clear that Beta began initiating members and conducting business after graduation in 1894. Men would join informally, but not be initiated until graduation, thus, not violating Institute rules and remaining true to the honor code.

World War II was fought by a coalition of nations’ air, ground, and sea forces; supported by millions of civilians. With a unique understanding of training, planning, logistics, and supply, Marshall kept these groups working together toward the goal of restoring worldwide peace.

As planning for the invasion of Europe progressed, many thought Marshall would lead the troops. He wanted to, of course, but didn’t give any indication of his preference. When President Roosevelt told him “I feel that I could not sleep at night with you out of the country,” Marshall expressed no dismay, immediately suggesting Gen. Dwight Eisenhower be the Supreme Allied Commander.

Marshall’s steadfast service behind the scenes was appreciated, however. Churchill called Marshall “the organizer of the Allied Victory in World War II.” Secretary of War Henry Stimson said to Marshall on V-E Day that “I have seen a great many soldiers in my lifetime.

On June 5th, 1947, Secretary of State Marshall proposed a radical plan to assist European recovery in a Harvard University address. In his speech, Marshall said:

It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world, so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.

Marshall believed it was in the best interest of the United States to provide funding, materiel, and expertise to the nations of Europe, 17 of which participated in the European Recovery Program or “Marshall Plan.”

Working with an unenthusiastic Congress, the job of passing this costly legislation was daunting. arsha testi e to on ress

“Within its own resources, Europe cannot achieve within a reasonable time, economic stability. The solution would be much easier, of course, if all the nations of Europe were cooperating. But they are not. Far from cooperating, the Soviet Union and the Communist parties have proclaimed their determined opposition to a plan for European economic recovery.

THE 11-MINUTE HARVARD SPEECH THAT REBUILT POSTWAR EUROPE

It’s been 75 years since George Marshall outlined a bold plan to counter Soviet influence by revitalizing a foreign foe

SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS ago, on June 5, 1947, George C. Marshall delivered a historic speech at Harvard. According to the Harvard Crimson, a crowd of 15,000 turned up “not so much in expectation of seeing history made, as simply in awe of the man.”

ment willing to assist with recovery, it would oppose any government or political party trying to block the recovery of other countries or otherwise perpetuating human misery. Those lines attracted sustained applause. Anyone paying attention knew which government and party he was referring to. In fact, the Soviets, who then occupied part of Germany, soon refused to participate in the Marshall Plan and blocked the Eastern European nations in their sphere of influence from doing so as well.

Marshall envisioned a reindustrialized Germany—with its capacity to produce coal, steel, fertilizer, food and machinery—as the key to Europe’s recovery. But he realized that it would be regarded as odious to elevate the living standards of the German people, who had gone along with Hitler. Talk of reconstructing Germany was enough to cause one to be hanged on the Ellipse in Washington, some quipped. Nonetheless, Germany was a bone of contention between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., and Marshall understood that its revival as an American ally offered the best hope for containing communism and sustaining Western democracy.

Joseph Stalin may have understood this, too. At the time, the Soviet leader was demanding billions of dollars in reparations from Germany, the payment

of which would cripple the country’s recovery. At a late-night meeting in the Kremlin just seven weeks before his Harvard speech, Marshall argued against this demand and for reindustrialization.

Stalin responded with “seeming indifference,” recalled special assistant Chip Bohlen, content “to let matters drift” and suggested that this was on the rst of man s irmishes concerning the fate of Germany. Marshall was alarmed. He believed that Stalin’s cynical goal was to allow Germany and the rest of Europe to slide further toward economic ruin and chaos, thus rendering the continent ripe for Soviet influence if not domination. He became all the more convinced that Germany’s revival was vital to Europe’s security. Robert Murphy, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, later recalled that it was the deadlock at the end of the meeting between Marshall and Stalin that divided Europe and “really rang o n the ron urtain

On his flight back to the states, Marshall stopped at Tempelhof airport in Berlin to meet with Gen. Lucius Dubignon Clay, the U.S. military governor of Germany, who was an expert in reconstruction. Since

assuming his responsibilities in 1945, Clay had railed against instructions from Washington that had barred him from strengthening, rehabilitating, or even maintaining the German economy. Now Marshall released him from those instructions and gave him new ones to strengthen the economy in the Anglo-American zone, making it “the bulwark of America’s policy of containment.”

All the way back to Washington, wrote Bohlen, “Marshall talked of the importance of n in some initiati e to prevent the complete breakdown of Western Europe.” That initiative, of course ou e the one o cia ca e the European Recovery Program but popularly known as the Marshall Plan.

Months later, the broad strokes articulated in Marshall’s 11-minute speech became a fully developed plan, and within a year the plan passed through Congress and became law. Of the $13.2 billion appropriated, $1.4 billion ($16.8 billion in today’s dollars) was allocated to

As Dr. Manfred Knapp, professor of International Relations at the University of Frankfurt, concluded, “the economic recovery of Europe couldn’t have been achieved without the reconstruction of the German economy.”

Today, with revisionist Russia waging war in raine a resur ent an uni e erman is again the key to the security of Europe. And again, Germany requires U.S. support, this time in reducing German dependence on Russian oil and gas. The Biden administration, in collaboration with the EU, has organized a task force to reduce European dependence on fossil fuels: Call it a “Marshall Plan for Energy Security.” Its principal focus will

be on Germany, which is the largest importer of natural gas from Russia. By reducing Germany’s need for Russian fossil fuels, the U.S. can again help make Germany a bulwark against antidemocratic forces encroaching on the region.

Looking back, the evolution of America’s relationship with Germany since 1945 is nothing less than astonishing. With Marshall’s speech on his mind, President Truman wrote in his memoirs that for the rst time in the history of the world a victor was willing to restore the vanquished.” Truman and Marsha pi ote the from a out ar to o ers of treasure and know-how, made to a foreign foe that had sought to destroy Europe and rule the world.

5 WAYS TO GIVE BACK TO KAPPA ALPHA ORDER

The Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation (KAOEF), a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, was founded by the Convention in 1981 and was established in 1982 to promote the education of undergraduate and graduate students in academic improvement, leadership, alcohol and substance abuse prevention, and other general educational areas.

The KAOEF receives no government funding but provides a vehicle for tax-deductible contributions from alumni and friends to be made in support of KA. With these gifts, the KAOEF helps underwrite a number of educational pro rams to the ene t of the r er

1 Cash Gifts

The most convenient and frequently used method of supporting the KAOEF is a gift of cash—personal check, credit card authorization or money order—made payable to the KAOEF and mailed to P.O. Box 1865, Lexington, VA 24450. Online donation can also be made through the KAOEF website (www.KAOEF.org/donate).

2

Matching Gifts

Many corporations will match gifts the KAOEF. If you or your spouse works for one of these organizations, your gift could multiply. Please ask your human resources office if your company provides matching gifts to charitable organizations. If so, please ask your employer for the proper form to include with your gift. You may also visit www. KAOEF.org/giving or contact the KAOEF for assistance in determining if your employer offers a matching gifts program.

3 Planned Giving

The KAOEF has benefited greatly from planned gifts from members of the 1865 Trust and other planned giving. Inclusion of the KAOEF in your will or trust should reference KAOEF, P.O. Box 1865, Lexington, VA 24450. Please visit www.KAOEF.org/giving or contact the KAOEF directly for further information.

4 Appreciated Securities

A gift of your appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares is an ideal way support the KAOEF. The educational programs of the Order will benefit from your support and you will receive a tax deduction for your contributions. In addition, transferring the securities prior to liquidation will help you avoid capital gains taxes. Please contact the KAOEF for personal assistance with the transfer of assets of this type. Donors can select the KAOEF to receive transfers from an IRA account without a tax consequence. Please contact KAOEF staff for personal assistance.

5 Real & Personal Property

Your real estate and other marketable personal items can be given to the KAOEF an outright gift. For tax purposes, the contributor may deduct the fair market value of the real estate. Items of personal property must be related to the KAOEF’s purpose and function to be fully deductible. For example, a brother can donate a percentage interest in a building to the KAOEF that can be sold and the proceeds would be directed to the KAOEF.

Dear Brothers,

The 1865 Trust continues to recognize the generosity and foresight of those of you who choose to embrace the vision of KA’s future by making an impactful gift to the KAOEF. Your membership into the 1865 Trust bears powerful testimony to the charitable expressions of your values, ideals, and commitment to Kappa Alpha Order’s future. Membership in the 1865 Trust is obtained when provisions for a planned gift of $10,000 or more are made to the KAOEF.

This past year the Trust welcomed three (3) additional members whose contributions will provide valuable assistance to future generations of KA brothers. There have been men from all walks of life join the Trust since it was created in 1992 and we continue the quest to assist alumni brothers and friends of KA who want to create a legacy for Kappa Alpha Order so that future generations of young men will have the same great opportunities that each of us have experienced.

In closing, I cannot emphasize more strongly how important it is that we remain committed. If you have any questions about the 1865 Trust, or if you wish to join the ranks of other KA brothers who are members, please contact Ben W. Satcher Jr, Executive Vice President, by phone, (540) 460-4148, or by e-mail, bsatcher@ka-order.org.

Thank you for your continued support of the Order, and for making Kappa Alpha Order a lifelong commitment.

Fraternally yours,

No matter how your life has been impacted by Kappa Alpha Order, your brothers are helping future brothers have the same wonderful experience: Forever KA.

Forever KA is not a giving society; it is an opportunity for Kappa Alpha alumni to stay connected for life by a gift of only $10 per month. With your support we can continue to enrich the lives of so many. Forever KA was developed in 2011 by Former Knight Commander J. Michael Duncan (Delta Kappa–Stephen F. Austin State ’69) who saw the need to keep alumni engaged from the moment of graduation.

Each year, when an Active Member becomes an alumnus, they are invited to become Forever KA. It is the KAOEF’s aim to make sure that every new alumnus remains connected and begins a lifetime of giving back to their Order. Additionally, Forever KA participant receives a subscription to The Kappa

GIVING

ANNUAL GIVING

The KA Leadership Fund assists our members with the rising costs of higher education and provides the resources necessary to be successful in life. In part, it supports our unrestricted funds, scholarships, internship program, and leadership education program.

The KAOEF asks alumni to contribute annually, and it is through your enerosit that these pro rams hich ene t our un er ra uate mem ers are supported. Our hope is that every KA will annually contribute to the KA Leadership Fund and we humbly ask for your support.

GIVING TO THEIR OWN CAUSE

The Foundation Chapter program is an effort for current active brothers to support the KAOEF and commit themselves to helping ensure that the programs they currently enjoy and benefit from will continue for future members of their chapter.

Eight (8) chapters committed that each brother of theirs would donate $18.65, or more, per man, to the KAOEF this past fi scal year. Many of these committed in order to support the Day of Giving. These funds are used to support the Order’s leadership programs and training initiatives, and to provide scholarship dollars to our active brothers.

Northern Arizona Raises $32,500 for Special Olympics

The Epsilon Tau Chapter at Northern Arizona University recently completed its month-long fundraiser for Special Olympics Arizona. The chapter planned events like percentage nights, coin wars, trivia night, and a ag football game to fundraise for their initial goal of $20,000. Their events saw a growing attendance and participation from 50 to 300 attendees for each event, and as such, the chapter saw a real increase in donations.

“Our national philanthropy is Muscular Dystrophy Association but the brothers of Epsilon Tau here at NAU felt that Special Olympics touched us closer to home,” Number I Mac Shattuck (Epsilon Tau–Northern Arizona ’19) said. “We all felt a

deeper connection to the Special Olympics Foundation, and decided to donate to them this year.”

Special Olympics athletes and sta joined the chapter for the nal donation total announcement and check presentation of $32,500 for Special Olympics Arizona on Saturday, April 2. The event also featured a ag football game with Special Olympics athletes and uni ed partners and a football clinic for kids under the age of 10.

“My brothers and I at Kappa Alpha Order NAU have always had a special place in our hearts for Special Olympics. Many of us have family members and relatives who participate in Special Olympics so we found it most tting that we as a chapter support a cause

we all have personal connections with,“ said Kappa Alpha member Dylan Vitale. “The idea of hosting this Special Olympics football game gave our brothers the chance to raise money for this foundation, get up close and personal with the athletes and make them feel as special as possible. It also gave us a chance to show the world a group of 70 men who set a goal of raising $15,000 could end up raising more than $32,500 for Special Olympics Arizona. We love to break that stigma of what fraternities are, and we take great pride in making an impact in our community.”

In 1975, the rst Special Olympics of Arizona competition was held. It consisted of a single-day track and eld event with 100 athletes and 20 volunteers. The Special Olympics of Arizona has grown since its inaugural games and now hosts more than 21,460 athletes every year.

Long Overdue Initiation Ceremony for Theta Commission

The Theta Commission generally conducts its initiation each May following The Citadel’s graduation. But for Danny Williams, the brothers went to him. Danny is a C6-7 quadriplegic, and although he is mobile, he suffered complications related to his condition that precluded him from normally attending, not to mention the pandemic.

Danny is the son of a US Army Chaplain Colonel who served in World War II and in the Korean Conflict and was later a United Methodist Minister in South Carolina. A native born South Carolinian, Danny graduated from The Citadel with plans to serve his country in the US Army. These plans were cut very short. In 1980, as a senior at The Citadel, Danny broke his neck on a trampoline in a PE course. As a result, he was rendered a C 6-7 quadriplegic. Although physically challenged for more 41 years, he did not let this incapacitate him as he drives his converted van, lives by himself

and worked full time for more than 30 years. While at The Citadel, and in adult life, Danny has participated and lead several organizations, received honors, and been recognized. For more than 41 years, he has always demonstrated a genuine positive attitude and never, ever asked for help, even at times when he should have. Rather, Danny was the one offering his assistance, eagerly offering his assistance to his fellow man. Most men would have given up under the physical limitations such as Danny’s. Those outside the brotherhood; his classmates, family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances have the utmost respect for him. Nine Theta Commission brothers performed the initiation by all protocol and welcomed Brother Williams into the fold, at long last.

Courts of Honor

The Order’s system of Provincial Courts of Honor is unique in the system of American college fraternities. It was first introduced at the fifth province council, in 1930, by Frank Hammett Myers, Commander of the James Ward Wood Province. For insignia, each Court uses its own Provincial Cross with its own distinct colors. The purpose of the Courts of Honor is to recognize and acknowledge alumni for their continued interest, support, and participation in the Order, its active or alumni chapters, and their capacity to stimulate the expansion and prestige of the fraternity.

A Court of Honor typically holds an annual meeting and dinner or event to nominate new members and make plans for the events of the upcoming year. A new inductee is presented with Court of Honor jewel along with a certificate of membership.

Historic Province Realignment

Duncan Province Established, Others Merged

As the Order grew in the late 19th century, and early 20th, the national leadership was considering structure and alignment of volunteers and communications amongst chapters. In 1883, a failed attempt to divide the Active Chapters of the Order into a new structure was shelved after two years—the geographic terms used at the time were “Commanderies” and a “Knight Visitor” would have been appointed to oversee and engage the chapters.

The current idea of a province system of the Order was established in 1911. Since that original demarcation of chapters, the boundaries and alignment of provinces has been altered eighteen (18) times.

In early 2022, Knight Commander C. Douglas Simmons appointed a working group to discuss the current province composition, that of Active and Alumni Chapters, and Commissions, review province boundaries and consider changing province boundaries/

reconstituting provinces. Consideration was given to historical boundaries, geographic areas and borders, Courts of Honor as well as number of chapters. The group was chaired by Former Knight Commander J. Michael Duncan (Delta Kappa–Stephen F. Austin State ’69) and consisted of Senior Councilor King V. Aiken, Jr. (Kappa–Mercer ’87), Smith Province Commander Robert H. Wall (Tau–Wake Forest ’95) and Neal Province Commander Douglas W. Hanisch (Epsilon Tau–Northern Arizona ’98), along with sta liaisons, Executive Director Larry Stanton Wiese (Gamma Omega–Midwestern State ’87) and Assistant Executive Director for Advancement Jesse S. Lyons (Delta Alpha–Western Carolina ’98). The working group delivered their report to the Knight Commander and Executive Council in May.

Subsequently, the Advisory Council met on July 29, 2022, at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. Following a review of

the report and the Knight Commander’s direction, and pursuant to Section 311 of the Constitution, the Advisory Council voted to reconstitute several provinces.

Pursuant to the same provision, the Knight Commander then selected the names of these reconstituted provinces and called for nominations for their province commanders. There are now fourteen active provinces.

The Knight Commander and the Order wish to thank retiring province commanders, Je rey R. Love (Epsilon Rho–Purdue ’88), Jason L. Potts (Delta Lambda–Middle Tennessee State ‘93), James Ransbottom (Alpha Rho–West Virginia ’98), and Ronny J. Snow (Gamma Tau–Sam Houston State ‘87).

Province Established

J. Michael Duncan Province was established to include the pre-existing boundaries of Mikell Province (northern Texas) along with Walsh Province (southern Texas), both of which were merged. Duncan Province now includes the entire state of Texas. The reconstitution of these provinces required the appointment of province commanders.

discharged as a Captain. During his service, he visited the chapter prior to the March 1943 Journal and was noted as, “at present one of the best non rst ieutenants in the US Medical corps.” He served as Adjacent of the 315 General Hospital, Batangas, the Philippine Islands, during the Japanese invasion and occupation.

Rufus C. “Buddy” Porter

(Beta Lambda–Southern Methodist ’38)

November 23, 1919– November 9, 2007

 Largest 1865 Trust /single-gift in KAOEF history

In 2022, the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation received its largest-ever single gift of $1MM+ ($1,097,547) from a charitable remainder trust established by Rufus C. “Buddy” Porter (Beta Lambda–Southern Methodist ’38). This gift was unrestricted and demonstrates the positive impact that estate giving can have, especially through the KAOEF’s 1865 Trust . Porter’s trust will eventually pay out more funds to its remainder beneficiaries including the KAOEF.

Porter graduated from Highland Park High School and SMU.

The November 1939 Journal reports that Porter is one of seven members in, “the most famous college swing band [clarinet, Mustang Band] in the nation.” The Journal also reports that in March 1940, he and another member, “deserve a lot of thanks for their swell work this year in social functions and rushing respectively. Buddy is just an entertainer at heart.”

In April or May 1920, he was elected Number I and one year later, in a Journal report of

May, 1941, the chapter sings the praises of his accomplishments, and likely the beginning of his business acumen: “ all current expenses were met and more than $800 was applied on back debts during brother Porter’s administration … winning two major campus political o ces p a in host to the Mikell [province] council, and maintenance of high scholastic record were other achievements.”

After graduation, he entered the U.S. Army in World War II as a private, and was honorably

After reentering civilian life he joined his father in the real estate business. His father had represented C. W. Snider, Wichita Falls oilman, in the development of Snider Plaza shopping center and had constructe the rst ui in in the center in 1927, which thereafter served as the home of Ralph A. Porter Company. Under Buddy's leadership, it became one of the most prominent real estate companies in the Park Cities. His majority interest in Snider Plaza eventually led to the remodeling of much of the Plaza. In 2007, the University Park City Council named the Fountain in the center of the Plaza the Rufus C. "Buddy" Porter Fountain. Buddy served as President of the Greater Dallas Board of Realtors and Director of the Texas Association of Realtors. He served as an adjunct professor of real estate at SMU for twenty years. Additionally, Buddy supported, among others, Highland Park United Methodist Church and the C.C. Young retirement home at White Rock Lake.

You may be interested in leaving a legacy to the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation by making a planned gift through your estate. There are a variety of planned giving options available and we will be happy to work with you in selecting the option that has the most benefit to you and your family. The 1865 Trust is the most celebrated estate planning program in the entire fraternity world.

As early as 1952, the former “Kappa Alpha Scholarship Fund” was promoted with the following quote from Councilor Vernon H. McCall (Xi–Southwestern 1911):

“Flowers are a beautiful conveyance of love and sympathy, but wither. Love and sympathy expressed through our scholarship fund, is life.”

Today, the Kappa Alpha Order Education Foundation’s recognition program receives tax-deductible donations “In Honor” or “In Memory” of anyone and from anyone. Generally, one brother makes a donation in honor of a brother or group and designates it to recognize friendship, achievement, or signi cance; or one may make a donation in memory of a beloved brother, in lieu of owers or some other recognition.

Gifts count toward a member’s annual giving level and typically are unrestricted (but not required).

Special notice is sent to the honoree or the family of the deceased brother, and those are then able to send a prepared thank you note back to the donor, creating a sincere and deserved system of recognition and thanks.

Family and Friends First for Junior Walk-on QB

All around the country, Jackson Muschamp (Gamma-Georgia '20) has lived. College towns and even an NFL city, Jackson and his family have moved place to place for two things, football and their family. While this young kid spent his entire life in a locker room or on the eld, the pigskin remained glued to Jackson’s hands, no matter the town he was living in. Now, as a junior in college, Jackson nds himself in Athens with his dad Will Muschamp (Gamma-Georgia '20) as his coach, the rest of his family, friends, a national championship and, yes, football.

From a young age, Jackson knew he wanted to play ball in college. Surrounded by coaches, players and,

of course, his dad, Jackson had a great support sta to get him to that level. These mentors coached and taught him throughout his childhood while his dad’s players were role models to Jackson. Eventually, as Coach Muschamp took the South Carolina head coaching job, Jackson moved to Columbia with his family and enrolled at Hammond High School.

Being around football paid o as Jackson and the Skyhawks went on to win three state titles. Jackson’s winnings also earned him attention from some bigger schools at the next level. With o ers from Colorado State and Boston College, he considered the opportunity to play at either one of the schools, but the Red and Black, his dad’s

Originally published on September 3, 2022 on bulldawgillustrated.com

alma mater, our beloved institution, the University of Georgia came around with a preferred walk-on o er, and to Athens, he came.

“Athens embraced me with open arms,” Jackson said. “Even with my dad still coaching at South Carolina, the people around me still made me feel like I was home.”

Following Jackson’s freshman season, the opportunity for Coach Muschamp to return to Athens became a reality and the father-son duo was reunited. Despite coaching for conference rivals like Florida and Auburn, Jackson said, after putting on the Red and Black, my dad and my family were welcomed back to the

96 WWW.KAPPAALPHAORDER.ORG ATHLETIC
DEPARTMENT
GAMMA–GEORGIA

Athens family once again.

With two years under his belt, a national championship and a ring to show for it, Jackson still has to face the everyday grind on and o the eld of being a student athlete. Between football, class and a social life, Jackson’s plate is pretty full, but with the help of coaches, football sta and the faculty, his busy schedule is easier to manage than one might think.

“Everything we do is intentional and thought out,” Jackson said. “The di erence between college and high school football is the organization. In college, practice, meals, classes, etc. are all structured for us to succeed. They ultimately want us to maximize our time for everything and help us accomplish the goals we have set.”

To be one of the best programs in the country, the players must be set up for success, like Jackson said, and there is no better success story than Jackson’s position group, the quarterbacks. In the quarterback room at UGA, there are walk-ons and ve stars, but Jackson said their brotherhood, their comradery is unlike anything else. They push each other to get better but are best friends through it all.

The former walk-on, sixth-year senior Stetson Bennett leads that group, a guy who took his opportunity and won this football program its rst national title in 41 years. The mutual respect among Jackson and the rest of the QBs is of the highest and Jackson could not say enough about Stetson and the rest of the guys in the room. “We’re ride or die with Stetson,” Jackson said. “We’re all behind him and supporting him, and we think he can win us another title.”

Though Jackson has a great fraternity of brothers on the football team, he is also a member of the Kappa

Alpha Order here on campus where he stays in touch with his friends o the eld. “It’s important to me that I still have a social life while playing football and going to class,” he said. “I want to form and keep relationships with people all around this campus, so it’s important to me that I get out and meet people and hang out with my friends and family.” While Jackson holds football

near and dear to his heart, he keeps his friends and family closer.

Back on the eld, the Dawgs still sit atop the mountain of college football as the national champions, Jackson noted that it still takes the grind to repeat. “Coach Smart keeps telling us, ‘We have the talent to beat anyone in the country, it just depends on what we do with that talent,’” Jackson said. “We know it is going to be tough if we want to win it all again. We just have to put our minds to it and grind everyday on and o the eld.”

The hardworking Jackson is set for big things ahead in his life. With a last name that means royalty in college football and a current studentathlete at a national championship school, Jackson’s resumé is pretty stout; however, the young, humble kid born in Baton Rouge doesn’t let his head grow to the magnitude of his name and status. He stays down to earth, grinds at everything he works for, but most of all, he always keeps his family and friends rst.

REMARKS

Social Anxiety In College: It’s More Common Than You Think

Social anxiety in college is surprisingly common. Research indicates that 44% of college students1 experience moderateto-severe anxiety, and that’s just the percentage who report it. Without e ective coping strategies, social anxiety can progress into generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). While this condition is increasing on campuses across the country, there are several ways to alleviate and cope with its symptoms.

Social Anxiety in College

Many feel uneasy engaging in public speaking, delivering a lecture or presentation, or going to a big party. If you have social anxiety, though, you might constantly worry about being embarrassed, humiliated, or rejected, or find it difficult to relax in social settings.

So much of college life is based on interacting with peers, professors, and others. Students with social anxiety can have a hard time accomplishing tasks that some consider integral to the college experience, like:

• Speaking with professors

• Delivering presentations

• Going out and enjoying nightlife

• Making new friends

• Going on dates

That being said, social anxiety is a highly treatable condition, and there are several ways to reduce and manage your symptoms while becoming more confident around others.

98 WWW.KAPPAALPHAORDER.ORG VOLUNTARY

44% Percentage of college students1 who experience moderate-to-severe anxiety

E ective Coping Strategies

 TAKE SMALL STEPS

Accomplish one small goal each week to start. Say hi to the person next to you in class. Focus on being a quiet and curious listener. Ask thoughtful, openended questions. Ask a roommate if they want to form a study group.

 VISIT YOUR CAMPUS’ MENTAL HEALTH CENTER

Most campuses have a mental health or wellness center that offers therapy and other resources to students. Therapy for students is typically shortterm and can be either fee-based or free.

 TRY THERAPY

Social anxiety is commonly treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT),² which involves sharing techniques you can use in daily life to feel more comfortable. Therapy with a licensed provider can be online or in-person.

 TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT MEDICATIONS

Medications like SSRIs and benzodiazepines are used to treat social anxiety in certain cases. Your medical provider may recommend them if your symptoms are severe and frequent.

 JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP

Support groups can be a safe space for college students living with social anxiety. These are often small groups led by mental health professionals.

Final Remarks

Social anxiety in college can be a challenge, but treatment is often highly successful. With proper diagnosis and treatment, your chances of having a fulfilling college experience are high.

Stay focused on your goals, live in the moment, and become aware of your thoughts and feelings as you grow into the person you were born to be.

Once the COVID-19 pandemic became a reality, members and all college students were forced to learn di erently, interact with friends and family di erently, and in many cases, live di erently from day to day. The Order provided many resources to our chapters, including virtual chapter visits and crucial leadership training for chapter o cers to help them navigate chapter issues that were not even contemplated mere months ago. But, with mental health issues on the rise (particularly among college students), every brother of Kappa Alpha continued to have free access to support through the Talkspace app. The support of alumni to the KAOEF made these resources possible.

About Talkspace

Talkspace offers online therapy (text/voice/video) that’s flexible and convenient, taking place in the privacy and comfort of wherever you choose. Therapists are licensed and trained to help people of any age navigate social anxiety and major life changes.

In 2018, the Order partnered with Talkspace to provide private and professional counseling and support to our undergraduate members when and where they need it.

SIR,YOU ARE A KA

What took you to Washington & Lee University in 1954?

My dad’s father, my granddad [Dannite H. Mays], was there [then Washington College] when Lee was president [1866–1870]. And that’s how my dad urged me to go. He didn’t go, but he really wanted me to go. So, we have a long lineage with WLU.

We’re told you’re the founder of a very signi cant law rm.

Well, that’s a wonderful statement, and I’d say I was <laughter>, maybe second tier.

become combat arms qualified at Fort Knox, and I said, “what do you think artillery is?”

You had a long career with the same rm. What was some signi cant work you performed?

I had 57 years with the firm when I retired. It was “small town living” in Lakeland, but it was a practice like

and complex deals. I worked on deals with Occidental Petroleum who was deep into the phosphate industry internationally. In the latter part of my career, I created the firms public finance department. We’d assist state and local government in financing improvements through tax exempt bonds, such as the Orlando Aviation Authority to help construct the airport building and the Tampa Aviation Authority.

What’s a fun memory you recall from being in the chapter?

• Former Number I (1957)

• Delegate to the 47th Convention (1957)

• Early founder, Holland & Knight, LLP

• Wife, Mason; Four children, one KA son, Parkill III (Alpha–Washington & Lee ’85)

The founder of what is now Holland & Knight, LLP, was Spencer Holland, a senator from Florida. And, our main impetus was Chesterfield Smith. He was an ABA president, and he was the lawyer during the Nixon years who said, “no man’s above the law.” I was the tier right behind Chesterfield. I was probably number 14 when I came in with the firm. There are more than 2,000 lawyers now.

Did you go straight into the rm after law school?

No, I had deferments from the U.S. Army. So I graduated, married Mason, and headed to Fort Sill. I trained in artillery, got tired of shooting guns, and decided to go to Judge Advocate General school. The arm said, well you have to

New York City. I started off doing simple wills and trusts, like any downhome local lawyer. Then I progressed into significant financing

As a joke, we had to find out who was the head chef at The Greenbrier Resort [W.V.]. Of course, coming from my background, I had no clue what the Greenbrier was. We got to White Sulphur Springs and asked where it was and they pointed us to the Greenbrier Restaurant in downtown. We asked if we could get the chef’s signature, and they looked at us like we were crazy.

How can you sum up your feeling about Kappa Alpha Order and Alpha Chapter?

Kappa Alpha Order has always been and still is very close to my heart. Lee certainly emulated the beginnings of Alpha Chapter. I would love to go to Mulberry Hill and see the headquarters and archives. I’ve talked myself into going back to Lexington, haven’t I?

A candid conversation with a member of our Order

“We’d take dates and trips to the Greenbrier Resort, and have dances, and events, and the Greenbrier Open golf tournament when Sam Snead was the pro. He also played the trumpet in the big lounge area for everyone.”

BACKSTORY

Ace of the Aces

CAPT David McCampbell (Alpha Sigma–Georgia Tech ’29) poses in the cockpit of his F6F Hellcat on board USS Essex (CV-9), circa early October 1944. Note the 21 kills marked on the plane, the number credited to then Cdr. McCampbell as of this time. He ultimately ended his flying career with 34 aerial victories. He is the U.S. Navy’s all-time leading flying Ace—known as the Ace of the Aces. He is the recipient of the Medal of Honor.

In a letter written in 1982, McCampbell said that the photographer was Joe Rosenthal. This is an official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.

McCampell will have further coverage in a future issue of The Journal, along with other U.S. Navy fighter pilots related to the actual TOP GUN program and the blockbuster TOP GUN: MAVERICK.
