BETA

TAU
77th ANNIVERSARY REUNION SPEECH BY SAUL ISLER
 |
Love thy Brother. That may be difficult in today’s
world. But love is a given tonight. Welcome, my loving brothers, and
welcome to the wives who’ve put up with you over the years. Welcome
to the 77th Anniversary Reunion of Beta Alpha Tau.
I’m Saul Isler.
Tomorrow, September 10th, marks the very day, 77 years ago, that Bob
Bachman sitting with Dick Lustig on the front steps of their
apartment building on Overlook Road, suggested to Dick, “Why don’t
we form a club?” This was the earlier form of “Let’s put on a play!”
Dick liked the idea. That was the beginning of B.A.T. You may agree
that, among us gathered here, that was a historical day. This is a
historical day as well, a day short of 77 years that comprise the
unlikely history of Beta Alpha Tau. Unlikely, because it exists
today, roughly fifty years after it was officially dead and
literally buried.
Many people deserve our thanks for having produced this remarkable
evening.
