Virginia Tech Graduate? b. Famous PA FIJI? c. U.S. Military Academy Graduate? d. U.S. Army Lieutenant? e. All of the above? f. Current U.S. President? Well, if you guessed "e", all of the above, you guessed right! You probably don't even need to finish reading. But for those of you FIJI'S who weren't quite sure, and probably picked "f", please continue reading. Admittedly, he probably would make a better President than that "Bush"-man, he indeed is "all of the above" and much more too. Steven Milstein is a Virginia Tech graduate, and naturally a graduate-brother of the Rho Alpha Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta (Alpha Nu pledge class). After having graduated from the United States Military Academy (1990), he currently finds himself proudly serving our Country as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. He is a member of the B6 44th Engineer Combat Battalion, Second Infantry Division, in Tongduckon, South Korea. Steve will be rotating back to the States in December '92 and will more than likely be stationed in Ft. Ord, California. If you'd like to contact Steve, his current mailing address is: 2 LT Steven B6 Milstein Engr. Cbt. Bn. Unit # 15117 APO AP 96224-0381 "Life here is interesting, sort of like being in the third world," say Steve in his most recent letter about his doings in South Korea. Write him a letter. He'd certainly be glad to hear how President Bush is handling things "back in the States". Gregory S. Rappaport (BA) Corresponding Secretary Perge!
