This is an old photo of, it is believed, the Beta Club gathering some time around 1961. Lots of familiar faces here. Want to try your guess at the names? We do have all the IDs if you hit a wall.

  7. I think that I sold Huse short at UV. He is quoted in the New York Times. Houston G. Wood III, is a centrifuge expert at the University of Virginia.

    Now the record is corrected.

  8. That's definitely not the Beta Club, it's the "B" Club, guys that lettered in sports. If it were the Beta, there would be mostly girls.

  9. I definitely had reservations about the Beta Club idea. I had emailed a copy to Robert Jobe in Florida and he could not remember for sure and made that suggestion. Thanks for the clarification.

  10. After going through several boxes of my backup CDs I finally located the email from Robert Jobe and he does say that he thinks this was a "B Club" meeting.
    My fuzzy memory came up with the Beta Club idea, so my apologies to friend Robert.
    Also forgot to mention that I scanned the picture from an original loaned to me by James Downs

  11. I can not believe that anyone in their right mind would think that was the beta club. Everyone known that Robert Hugh Johnson, and Johnny "Bull" Miller did not make an "c" average.
