William Dennis Says:
November 7th, 2005 at 7:00 pmI was a Brother and local officer of the chapter that was atMuhlenberg College, Allentown, PA, years before it disbanded.
In those days (I graduated 1947) the publisher of CROS AND CRESCENT was at Kutztown, PA, so we had an established reputation. We were a local chapter that became Lambda Chi perhaps in the 1930’s. Many times my only contact with those post-WarII brothers were through Cross and Crescent and now through the death reports. Thank you for sending me the card about Cross and Crescent. w.E.D.

November 8th, 2005 at 7:07 pmThanks for keeping the Cross and Crescent together. I was a brother and officer of Iota Epsilon (Indiana State) that was disbanded several years ago. As I am retired and living in Florida I have no contact with anyone in Terre Haute.

George V., Capell Says:
November 15th, 2005 at 4:29 pmMany of us “old-timers” first look in the Cross and Crescent,in each publication, is in the Omega section. This, to see how our remaining friends are either not doing any longer,or if still noteworthy, may still possibly be doing. This section will be sorely missed by the many brothers who are computer illiterate or do not have available access. When are the proposed up-dates of this publication to be available online each year?
Denise Abate Says:
June 26th, 2006 at 6:52 amThanks to this search I was able to find out that a long time friend of mine died. I knew Paul G Quinn and just recently found out that he died last July. I am completely shocked about this and was wondering if anyone can tell me more information regarding this.
