TKEs and Vietnam Veterans NEVER give up on their brothers!
Posted for: SAMUEL KAMU TOOMEY III:
Dear Sam:

We were in the same fraternity at Central Missouri State University (then College), Warrensburg, MO...Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), Delta Lambda Chapter. Although we never met, since you were there before I, I had always heard that something had happened to you and that you had not returned from someplace called South Vietnam. Sam, I was a student and member of TKE while you were "over there", and I didn't even know at that time where Vietnam was. However, shortly after I graduated, I was drafted and soon found out where South Vietnam was! Now, through the magic of something new to you, called "The Internet", I am able to understand why you never returned. Had I only known then, when I was in Vietnam, that you were listed as "Missing in Action", I would have struck out on a search for you myself!! Like your loving parents, though, I will never give up hoping that maybe we will indeed have the chance to exchange the TKE grip!

Take care, frater Toomey. We are now twice related: once by the bond of Tau Kappa Epsilon, and now by the bond of all the brave servicemen who so proudly served this great country of ours.

Sincerely,

Steve Jenne
