Membership
Main Old Guard Event for the Year
Dear Bros!
Our membership list keeps
growing. We now have almost 50 members who
receive our newsletter. However, there are
still many out there whose addresses are
unknown. If you are aware of the addresses
of the brothers on the
Lost Old Guard Member
List
(see end of newsletter for lists) please let
us know and we will send out an invitation.
There are also many on the
Inactive Old Guard
List who do not respond to our
letters of invitation. Feel free to get in
contact with any of these members and
encourage them to join the Old Guard. Don’t
be shy. Old Guards are never shy. Horny yes,
shy never.
As was stated in the last newsletter the
Geneseo Spring Alumni Weekend which takes
place in April of every year will be the
Main Old Guard Alumni Event. Concentrating
on one main event will hopefully bring a
better turnout. Also many Old Guards seem to
be very busy with the Fall Hunting Season
and other activities takes place in October
when Homecoming occurs. If we have one main
event those living a distance away can have
the full year to decide to attend and make
the necessary travel arrangements. Also
rooms are easier to book for the Spring
Alumni Weekend. As of this writing, we have
not yet received the date for the next
Geneseo Spring Alumni Event. However it has
always been the last weekend in April which
would make it Saturday, April 29, 2006.
More definite information will be printed in
future bulletins and newsletters.
Since the The Geneseo Quality Inn
(Formerly the Days Inn at Geneseo) always
sells out, it would be wise to reserve a
room NOW if you are thinking of attending.
The phone number is 585-243-0500. The rates
are $75+ per night. Reservations can be
cancelled without penalty 48 hours before
check in time (3:00 PM). The Country Inn and
Suites at Mt. Morris is a 12 minute drive
away (402-501-6199). The rates are about
$110 a night for a suite. Reservations can
always be cancelled without penalty before 6
PM date of arrival. Other lodgings can be
found at

Fraternally yours,

Saturday, October 1st |
A few “Geneseo Area’ Old
Guards are planning to attend Homecoming and
are making plans for the day.
So far Chuck Curatalo ’63, Bob Hussey ’63,
Dave Mead ’64, Al Tolsma ’64
and Bob Veltz ’64 will be getting
together to join the Sig Tau’s in their
Homecoming Activities (To be announced
shortly). If you would like to join them
email Chuck at

As soon as the Sig Taus
send us their schedule of events for the
day, we will send out the complete schedule

Statue of Minerva Returns to the Milne
Library
It’s
an inauspicious return for the Roman
goddess of wisdom—standing in the middle
of Milne Library’s lobby with a cloth
tarp thrown over her
head. But after missing for 54 years,
Minerva is back at Geneseo. The college
will dedicate its new statue on Friday,
June 10 as part of the 50-year class
reunion activities. The statue of the
goddess standing has been under wraps
since delivery on May 23. |
And even with the college relatively
sleepy since graduation, “a lot of
people are stopping, trying to sneak a
peek,” said Kristin Jacobsen, a senior
from Stone Ridge, Ulster County, who is
working at the library over the summer.
Friday’s dedication will mark the end of a months-long
detective story. The college first got a
Minerva statue in 1906, as one of a
number of New York colleges that had
such artwork in the late 19th and early
20th centuries.
The statue stood in the entrance of the library of SUNY
Geneseo’s Old Main building until 1921,
when it was moved to the ground floor.
The statue was last seen in 1951, around
the time of Old Main’s demolition.
“Back when the college was one or two buildings, this really
was a dominate symbol,” said special
collections librarian Liz Argentieri.
Milne Library staff began investigating the statue’s
whereabouts last year, going through
material in the college archives. And
Argentieri put up “wanted” posters
around the village asking for any
information on the statue’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, the college looked into getting replica and also
scouted out an old Minerva statue
available from the Le Roy Historical
Society, “all the while hoping the
original would turn up,” Argentieri
said.
But in late winter, when it became clear that the original
statue wasn’t still on campus somewhere
waiting to be found, the library ordered
the replica goddess.
One common theory is that Geneseo’s original Minerva was
razed along with Old Main, perhaps
because by that time it was severely
chipped and damaged. |
 |
The cost of fixing up the Le Roy statue
was likely going to be more than buying
a new one, according to the college.
Geneseo’s new $4,500 statue is a gift
from the class of 2005, which rained
enough money to also pay for an
expansion to a study area in the
library.
The Giust Gallery, a Massachusetts company that specializes
in replicas of classical sculptures,
made the reproduction. It had an old
Minerva statue on hand with which it
made a mold and then Geneseo’s
replacement.
The new Minerva is not exactly what
students would have seen a couple
generations ago. Standing more than 8
feet tall, it’s about 2 feet taller than
the original. And made of resin instead
of plaster, it’s a lot lighter than the
350-pound original.
“I guarantee we’ll take better care of
her,” Argentieri said.
The above article reprinted from the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle which
appeared on June 8, 2005.

Tom DeBello
’63 and his wife Pat will be moving to
their new retirement home in Wilmington, NC
as soon as they sell their home in
Smithtown, NY.
Jim Vidoczy ‘63 met up with a number
of our old Phi Lamb friends at his 40th
Reunion at Geneseo: Sue Frink,
Dorcas, Wanda Petronski and Joan Steeles.
They even made his wife Peggy an honorable
member of the sorrority! He and his wife had
a most wonderful time. So, yeah, he'll be at
the Sig Tau April bash and he hopes to see
even more old farts! |

Steven Troskosky ’68 reports that he
is officially retired from Allegany
Limestone Central School District. See the
Directory for his new email and phone
number.
Jim Tobin ’65 has retired from his
job as Superintendent of the Palymra-Macedon
School District. He promises to write
something for future newsletters. See the
Directory for his new email address.
Jack Sheehan ’63 reports that as of
July 20, 2005 he has 364 days until he gets
his first Social Security Check. Send your
congratulations to the OLD FART at
costumerjs@aol.com.
Mick Brenno ’68 writes…..I’m glad to
hear that we had a successful gathering at
Geneseo earlier this year. I heard from Tom
Mooney that he was going, but I wasn't able
to go. I'm currently living on Peck's Lake
just inside the Adirondack Park, north of
the old industrial city of Gloversville.
Both my wife Jeanne and myself are retired
teachers, trying to survive the onslaught of
the property tax burdens of living on said
lake. Our retirement activities have sent us
to the thought of wondering how did we find
time to work in the past. Our newest family
news was the arrival of our first grandchild
in January 2005 (Vincent Michael). Our
daughter Zoe lives nearby in Saratoga with
her husband Bill. Jeanne relishes her new
role as chief babysitter when our daughter
works part-time. It's nice to hear about the
guys from the old frat days. Please keep me
informed as what is going on.
Thank you---Mick Brenno
Bill Kamalski ’68 writes….Sorry about
not being able to make the spring get
together. I am definitely going to get down
for the next one. Just a little update on
personal matters. I have just handed in my
resignation to the Mexico Board that this is
going to be my last year in the district.
Giving them a year's notice gets me a bonus
that can be added onto my FAS since I am a
tier 1 member. My official date of
retirement is August 4, 2006. I can not
believe 36 years in education. My wife Chris
will be going out at the same time and we
are looking forward to a lot of traveling,
boating, skiing, etc.
---We have two daughters--Katja--26 and
Kristen--22--who at the present are both at
home. Katja has graduated from SU and is
currently completing her Masters in El Ed
and Special Ed at Potsdam and is also the
Watertown Director of the Youth Advocacy
program. Glad to see that she is gainfully
employed. Kristen --the one that didn't fall
too far from the party tree meaning mine has
just finished up at Cortland and will be
going on to Grad School for gerontology in
the field of management at either Towson or
Univ at Colorado. Although both are at home
now, I don't think they will be for long-- I
hope. On a personal level I have been
involved in competition Trap shooting and to
a lesser extent skeet shooting in northern
New York and have been doing quite well. At
least if I don't knock them all down I scare
the hell out of them. I am now looking
forward to hunting season both fowl and
large game. I can remember taking ducks and
pheasants around Geneseo with Bill Palmer at
Conesus Lake and at some honoraries farm. I
hope this adds to the newsletter. I have
enjoyed reading it. Love Bill---Kimo

Pat Pallend ’64 writes…..Hi Guys! My
son Terrence is back in California and
getting out of the Corps unless they throw a
stop loss at him – it remains to be seen of
course but we gotta be positive.
Apparently I am the “go to guy” whenever you
need some stuff because the rest of those
old bastards are sitting around with their
thumbs up their collective asses. Pay
attention here guys and do something and
send some stuff to Chuck for the newsletter
for Chris’ sakes. Sounds like Bruce
(Jordan), Jack (Sheehan) and I are the only
people still working which means we’ll
probably outlive all of you … so to bring
you up to date – -- -I serve, kinda sorta unofficially
officially, as military advisor for Argonne
Parades (because I sleep with one of the
owners) and one of their events is the 4th
of July Parade in Atlanta. The Parade is
owned by WSB TV (an ABC affiliate) and is
probably one of the largest 4th of July
events in the country. It’s broadcast
regionally and I don’t think you’d see it
where you are. Anyway, as part of the
opening of the parade this year there were 4
soldiers from the 3rd ID (Third Infantry
Division to you) just back from Iraq – who
are supposed to have a surprise reunion with
their families on TV at the start of the
event. |
 |
All of this had been planned for months with
families being flown in and put up at one
hotel while the soldiers are to come in and
stay at another hotel – and I’m the guy who
gets these kids and serves as their host,
father figure and commanding officer which
is all fine– but first and foremost we’ve
got to be sure they are out of Iraq and
harms way because you can’t have a reunion
on TV with dead guys ‘cause that makes their
families mad and sad – so we get
confirmation that they’re safely out and
that’s good except the return flights for
the soldiers get all fucked up and it really
goes from bad to worse and it’s looking like
they may not make it on time and a reunion
without people is no reunion at all.
So I’m now in one of my watering holes and
thinking that there will be a reunion one
way or the other and I’ve got 4 guys lined
up in case these kids don’t make it … but
the 4 guys I’ve lined up are all my age,
can’t fit in their old BDU’s and if we bring
‘em out on camera the four young brides and
families are really gonna be surprised
because they’re expecting their husbands and
now they’re being hugged by 4 guys who look
like their grandfather.( work with me here
and do the visual and it might give you
reason the chuckle.)
All turns out well, however, because we
finally get all the kids in. And here is the
irony. Part of my welcoming speech at the
airport is “Gentlemen, while you are
authorized an erection you are not
authorized to make use it until after being
reunited with your wives at the parade”. A
nice greeting from me of all people! Now
I’ve got 4 young soldiers who haven’t had
much fun for close to a year and all of you
remember being their age once upon a time
and so I leave it to you to figure out
what’s going through their minds. I follow
up on my initial remarks with “Gentlemen,
while you may be willing to run the risk of
embarrassing the United States Army, the 3rd
Infantry Division, Argonne Parades, WSB TV
and your families, you will not embarrass
me!” Fortunately there is beer and we do
manage to have a great time even though I’m
sure they’re thinking “Grandpa here is out
of his f….n’ mind.” |
On the night before the reunion/parade I
take them out to a surprise dinner at the
best steak house in Atlanta with Miss
America who’s the Grand Marshall for the
parade (no bullshit here it’s true – and not
only is she even better looking than her
picture but she’s incredibly bright as
well), the boys are all charged up and so am
I– however there is no need for me to go
into detail about Miss America’s chaperone
who is a pretty attractive gal herself - and
she’s directly on my left while my sweetie
is directly on my right and that’s a story
for another time.
The next day the parade starts on time, Miss
America sings, the boys are reunited with
their families and there is not a dry eye in
the house - and that’s how I spent my 4th of
July weekend. |

When I return to school this fall I think
I’ll use some of this for my essay on “How I
spent my summer vacation.” Regards, Pat |
Bio: Dale J. Metz (The Blonde One)
|
Dale J. married
Sue (Spas) Metz the night before graduation
in 1968. They spent their second night of
married bliss is Dale’s dorm room at Nassau
Hall. Dorm Director Art Oblas (and wife
Carol) and a team of Geneseo evildoers
(suite mates and I suspect some Sig Tau
Brothers) tied a hundred+ small Indian bells
to the bed frame and springs…..didn’t slow
us down for a second and besides they left a
great bottle of chilled wine! Graduated the
next day! On to a years Special Ed teaching
at PS 33 in Rochester, and then into the
USAF for four years in San Antonio teaching
Vietnamese English and later taught in the
Community College of the Air Force. Sue
taught English and Drama at a local rural
high school. Moved to Greensboro, NC in 1973
because Tom Behm (taught at Geneseo), who
was at UNC-Greensboro offered Sue an
Assistantship for her MFA in Children’s
Drama. I tagged along and went to work in a
middle school as an EMH/LD teacher. In the
mean time I started graduate school in
Administration. The first two weeks in
Greensboro were spent in a motel as we
searched for a home. Like a good Sig Tau and
a great Phi Lam we used that time wisely and
nine months later Jessica Joy Metz was born.
She now teaches 4th grade with Native
American children in our beautiful North
Carolina Mountains. And she married a Forest
Ranger/River Raft Guide. So did I get a
church aisle to walk her down? Did I get
place cards and a country club reception? No
they were married by the Pastor who is on
the religion staff at Western Carolina
Univ.(her alma mater) while going down class
4 rapids on the Nantahala River, while Dad
ran along the bank at several
locations(through the poison ivy) taking
pictures….it was beautiful. |
|
 |
All catered by
the Tribal Council….just beautiful
and yummy! Sue and I taught for six
years and she changed to high school
and I became an Assistant Principal
for 6 months and then in 1979 got my
first school as a principal. In the
mean time we found out that we could
not have any more children so about
30 seconds later adopted Aaron Dale
Metz who we got at 5 weeks. He is
now 25 and works for a local health
care company as an in home and
sometimes group home direct care
worker. After three years at my
wonderful open elementary school,
the job I was born for was offered
to me. Gateway Education Center was
a brand new self-contained school
for severely, multi-handicapped
children from birth to 21(part of
the public school system). For the
next 21 years I worked with my 200+
angels (79 deaths in those years)
and together with the best staff on
the face of the earth we gained
Dept. of Ed. national model school
status for Gateway. We also raised
over $7millon in private grants and
added a whole wing to the building
with United Way and private funds. |
|
|
We now
get people from all over the USA (and
the world) who move to Greensboro to
bring their special kids to Gateway.
Along the way I became the NC Principal
of the Year, co-wrote Journeys in
Education Leadership, received the local
United Ways Lifetime Achievement Award,
and lots of other blessings. I retired
in June of 2004. |
|
I am now
serving as Adjunct Faculty at High Point
University and Greensboro College in the
Special Education Department….I LOVE
teaching again! I also travel the
country (and overseas, esp. Eastern
Europe, Poland in particular) lecturing
on early intervention with disabled
infants and toddlers. I also have a
public speaking business centered on the
Power of Positive Humor. I work with
everyone from big corporations to
hospice units and nursing schools. Sue
Spas Metz got a wild hair somewhere in
the middle of her career and has been
teaching physical and environmental
science for many years. She is an award
winning teacher (for her research
especially in girls in science careers)
and looks forward to retiring next year.
She has also won a number of community
service awards. As if our life wasn’t
wacko enough we have just bought a 1942
lake cabin in Bemis Point, NY. We have
just spent about six weeks up there on
Chautauqua Lake, our daughter came and
helped the old people too, redoing it to
make it a summer place. Should be a
great place to get away from the too hot
|
 |
|
NC summers, but back to NC, where you can
picnic all year…be at the beach or the
mountains in 3 hours……come on down ya’ll!

However, they have found another
property to lease. More details will be
published in the next newsletter. They will
still need help and have established a House
Fund which is not tax deductible. There is a
Sigma Tau Psi Education Fund through the
college’s Geneseo Foundation. This will
allow tax deductible donations that will be
put directly toward a selected senior’s
graduate school tuition. See the website for

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT
DOCKET 1265-CASE OF THE
PREGNANT LADY
A lady about 8 months
pregnant got on a bus.
She noticed the man
opposite her was smiling
at her. She immediately
moved to another seat.
This time the smile
turned into a
grin, so she moved
again.The man seemed
more amused when on the
fourth move, the man
burst out
laughing, she complained
to the driver and he had
the man arrested.
The case came up in
court. The judge asked
the man (about 20 years
old)
what he had to say for
himself.
The man replied, "Well
your Honor, it was like
this: When the lady got
on the bus, I couldn't
help but notice her
condition. She sat under
a sweets sign that said:
"The Double Mint
Twins are Coming" and I
grinned.
Then she moved and sat
under a sign
that said: "Logan's
Liniment will reduce the
swelling", and I had to
smile.
Then she placed herself
under a deodorant sign
that said, "William's
Big
Stick Did the Trick",
and I could hardly
contain myself.
BUT, your Honor, when
she moved the fourth
time and sat under a
sign that said,
"Goodyear Rubber could
have prevented this
Accident"... I just lost
it."

Above jokes submitted by
Bob Hussey ‘63
Recently, I was
diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.
- Age Activated
Attention
Deficit Disorder. This
is how it manifests
itself:
I decide to wash my car.
As I start toward the
garage, I noticed that
there is mail on the
hall table. I decide to
go through the mail
before I wash the car. I
lay my car keys down on
the table, put the junk
mail in the trash can
under the table, and
notice the trash can is
full.
So, I decide to put the
bills back on the table
and take out the trash
first. But then I think,
since I'm going near the
mailbox when I take out
the trash anyway, I may
as well pay the bills
first. I take my
checkbook off the table
and see that there is
only one check left.
My extra checks are in
my desk in the study, so
I go to my desk where I
find the can of Coke
that I had been
drinking. I'm going to
look for my checks, but
first I need to push the
Coke aside so that I
don't accidentally knock
it over. I see that the
Coke is getting warm,
and I decide I should
put it in the
refrigerator to keep it
cold.
As I head toward the
kitchen with the Coke a
vase of flowers on the
counter catches my
eye--they need to be
watered. I set the Coke
down on the counter and
I discover my reading
glasses that I've been
searching for all
morning. I decide I
better put them back on
my desk, but first I'm
going to water the
flowers.
I set the glasses back
down on the counter,
fill a container with
water and suddenly I
spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the
kitchen table. I realize
that tonight when we go
to watch TV, I will be
looking for the remote,
but I won't remember
that it's on the kitchen
table, so I decide to
put it back in the den
where it belongs, but
first I'll water the
flowers.
I splash some water on
the flowers, but most of
it spills on the floor.
So I set the remote back
down on the table, get
some towels and wipe up
the spill. Then I head
down the hall trying to
remember what I was
going to
do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed,
the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm can of
Coke sitting on the
counter, the flowers
aren't watered, there is
still only one check in
my checkbook, I can't
find the remote, I can't
find my glasses and I
don't remember what I
did with the car keys.
Then I try to figure out
why nothing got done
today. I'm really
baffled because I know I
was busy all day long
and I'm really tired. I
realized this is a
serious problem and I'll
try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check
my email.
Do me a favor will you?
Forward this message to
everyone you know,
because I don't remember
to whom it has been
sent. Don't laugh, if
this isn't you already,
your day is coming!
Remember:
Growing older is
mandatory, growing up is
optional, but laughing
at yourself
constantly...is
therapeutic.

Two elderly widows are
sitting on a bench in
Florida discussing sex
after 70. One old doll
says to the other: "So,
Mabel, what do you do
when you get those
occasional "urges"?
"Well Florence, when
that happens I just suck
on a lifesaver and the
feeling goes away".
Florence: "That's fine
for you, you live near
the beach....."

Little TONY was sitting
in class one day.
All of a sudden, he
needed to go to the
bathroom.
He yelled out, "Miss
Jones, I need to take a
piss!!"
The teacher replied,
'Now, TONY, that is NOT
the proper word to use
in this situation.
The correct word you
want to use is
'urinate.'
Please use the word 'ur-i-nate'
in a sentence correctly,
and I will allow you to
go."
Little TONY, thinks for
a bit, and then says,
"You're an eight, but if
you had bigger tits,
you'd be a TEN!"
