Stayed in touch with Phi Gam fraternity brothers: Chuck (Maynard) Barton in Colorado, Dan DiBiasio in Vermont, Bob Lindner Ohio. The 4 of us made lots of lasting memories traveling around Europe summer of 1970.
Story time senior year (1971): We lived in "Tiger Inn" at the Fiji House and enjoyed each morning Black Coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream thanks to Bob's frequent trips to Cincinnati (Home Base for United Dairy Farmers of Ohio (UDF) started by his grandfather. Each trip Bob returned with 1 large multi-gallon carton that only fit in Tiger Inn's freezer after Sunday night "Scoop Parties" to reduce carton enough to fit in freezer. Thus our daily "affogato" mornings!!
