It's past time we recognized Brother James Bertelsmeyer AD 577 for his $400,000 Endowed Scholarship Fund established with the Miner Alumni Association in 1998 that has awarded as many as 26 $10,000 scholarships for undergraduate Lambda Chi brothers at MS&T. Jim also funds the multiple $1,000 scholarships for all associate members (more than 50 to date) the semester they become initiated. Jim grew up in Florissant, Missouri and attended St. Louis University High School. After graduation he enrolled at Missouri School of Mines and soon rushed Lambda Chi Alpha. During his time at Alpha Delta, Jim served as Rush Chairman and Alumni Correspondent and participated in IFC Greek Sing. On campus, he served as Vice President of the Student Council and President of Blue Key and Theta Tau. He also took part in the co-op program working with Monsanto Chemical in St. Louis.

In the USMC, Jim started attending night school to work on his MBA (which he finished at Memphis State 1969). In 1968 he began a ten year period with Conoco Pipeline (where he worked with fellow brother Keith Bailey AD 585). He left to become Vice President and then President and COO of Buckeye Gas Products and later founded the Heritage Propane Corporation, (now the third largest retail propane marketer in the United States). In June 1996, he took the company public, as Heritage Propane Partners L.P, now Energy Transfer Partners LP. Jim has served on the Board of Directors of the National Propane Gas Association for 31 years and is a past National President and Chairman of the Executive Committee.

He is also on the MS&T Board of Trustees and is an Honorary Knight in the Court of St. Patrick. In 2006 Jim donate $500,000 to help fund the Tulsa Air and Space Museum's new planetarium, now named the James E. Bertelsmeyer Planetarium. Jim did this to provide a place where young adults and children could get involved in math and science programs. In April 2011 Jim made a $5 million naming commitment for Bertelsmeyer Hall, the new Chemical and Biological Engineering Building at MS&T. In closing, Jim lives by the ideals of Lambda Chi Alpha and has never forgotten his oath as a loyal brother of Alpha Delta Zeta. He is a shinning example for other brothers to follow and emulate.

Alpha Delta Zeta in Publications

Alpha Delta and its alumni made a few appearance in the Spring 2011 issue of the Missouri S&T Magazine. In case you missed them, here is a snap shot: On page 10, in the article The Way They Ate. Beginning with the Grubstakers in 1902, eating clubs flourished on campus. Some lasted for only a few years, like Beanery, Corsairs and Placers. Five would reorganize themselves as fraternities: Muckers Club became Lambda Chi Alpha; Grubstakers Club became Triangle; and Mercier Club became Theta Kappa Phi, which eventually became Phi Kappa Theta. On page 19, in the article The Highs and Lows of Adventure Clubs. The club [MO S&T Skydiving Club] was officially recognized by the university in 2004, but it was inactive when Payne came to S&T in 2007, due to a plane crash, which killed S&T senior Robert Cook (AD 1288) and five others. Cook, a certified skydiving instructor, saved the life of an Australian tourist by positioning himself to take the full impact when their plane hit the ground. In 2008, Cook posthumously received the Australian Star of Courage Award, one of that nations top bravery awards. On page 23, in the article Keith Bailey to Grads: Embrace Change and Progress. Keith Bailey (AD 585) gave the Dec 18, 2010 commencement address at Missouri S&T. Bailey is currently nonexecutive chair of Cloud Peak Energy, the nations third largest coal producer. He is also on the boards of Apco International Oil and Gas, Aegis, Markwest Energy Partners and Integrys Energy.

Alumni Notes and Mail

Richard Gasaway AD1057 has written and published a new book, An Inconvenient Purpose- Linking Godly Stewardship and Alternative Energy (http:// www.aninconvenientpurpose.com/). Having worked in the power generation industry for 20 years, he sees a great need to develop cleaner and more diverse energy supplies, especially given the continuing unrest in the Middle East along with rising fuel prices.

Gary Amsinger AD 867 wrote: I enjoyed the newsletter. I believe this is a good idea to keep alumni in touch, I wouldn't be surprised to see donations increase. Keep up the good work. I may even dig up some old photos I have in a album and send some in.

Rob Bailey AD 970 wrote I will always remember fondly what Alpha Delta meant to my life and my best friends are from that part of my life. Brothers from my time in Alpha Delta were more supportive during my open heart surgery for a bad heart valve than some of my family, so the bonds still are strong. With a lot of the guys now getting to the age where kids are graduating high school, you should start seeing more participation as there will be more free time.

ROLLAMO Flashback: 1955

The Lambda Chi Alpha Social Fraternity was founded at Boston University in 1909, and has grown to become one of the largest national social fraternities. There are 146 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. The M.S.M. Chapter was originated in 1913 and was then known as the Muckers Club. Alpha Delta Zeta came into being when this club was admitted to Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity in 1917. Chapter House at 606 Walnut Since its installment, the chapter has participated in all school activities. A lot of enthusiasm and team spirit has pushed our intramural sports standing away up on the list. We shared in the Homecoming honors this year by snagging third place for our Homecoming Display. The gay social season at 606 Walnut commenced with the Annual Pledge Dance early in the fall. This event was followed later with the Harvest Dance and the Christmas Dance. Of course, our prime interests here at M.S.M. are the advancement of the individual and the advancement of the fraternity. Lets Have a Party Scenes from the chapter house 1955
