Rev and everyone,
Mike and I are taking care of making sure information is released on behalf
of John's family. We were waiting to post anything to apo-l until we had
finished telling the students in the chapter John had been advising. We
have not finished contacting the chapter, so that is why nothing had been
posted as of yet to this list.
I will send out more information regarding addresses, a gathering for
brothers after the funeral and other such things. Please let us do this as
we are trying to respect the family's wishes in this difficult time. I will
send something out tonight with more information and such. We are also
working with the national office to discuss some type of donation and
things. Please give us a chance to get all of that organized and taken care
of.
Mims
