Purple Legionnaire:
“The first challenge we have encountered in our new roles
has been the state of the chapter house.”
When I joined Phi Gamma Delta in 1997, several graduate brothers were there to
offer guidance and support. Alan Thayer ’81, Dan Porth ’81, Ken St. Pierre ’70, and
Tom Lewis ’60 were a few of the brothers serving on the Kappa Omicron Association. A
number of other graduate brothers, like Gary Wildish ’63, Don Bourne ’42, and Norm
Seethoff ’45 to name a few, have made significant contributions to the Fraternity since
1997. But 13 years later, in 2010, Alan, Dan, and Ken were still the primary graduate
brothers supporting the undergraduate chapter. With
gratitude for their contributions, I am excited to accept
the Purple Legionnaire position and allow these
brothers to step back from their responsibilities. Along
with me, several other graduate brothers have agreed
to support the undergraduate chapter, and I introduce
them today as the new Kappa Omicron Association and
Board of Chapter Advisors. They are listed on this page
along with contact information, should you wish to get
in touch with any of us.
The first challenge we have encountered in our new
roles has been the state of the chapter house. Working
with the undergraduates and touring the house with
contractors, we have identified numerous maintenance
issues that cannot be ignored. Although the list is long,
the greatest priorities include remodeling the 2nd- and
3rd-floor bathrooms, replacing broken windows
throughout the house, replacing the leaking hot-water
holding tank, and repairing the broken boiler. Although
the Kappa Omicron Association’s financial position is
solid, the bill for these essential repairs has quickly
Bill Anderson ’01
added up to more than $100,000. We need your help to
fund the needed repairs. If you can afford to make a donation to the chapter, now is the
time! You’re contribution will go directly toward these repairs.
The largest of the above repairs is the bathrooms. As we assessed problems with leaky
plumbing in the bathrooms, we determined that many of the leaks were associated with
patchwork repairs throughout the years. We decided the best option at this time would
be to start from scratch. On June 26, about 20 undergraduate and graduate brothers
converged on the chapter house and began a weekend of demolition. In addition to
tearing out the bathrooms down to the studs, we definitely had some fun as well.
Taking this aggressive “start from scratch” approach allowed us to identify numerous
issues associated with past remodels. The new bathrooms will ensure that our undergraduate brothers have a safe and sanitary environment to live in. The quality of work
being done means we should not have to address any major issues with the bathrooms
for years to come.
Please join me and the Kappa Omicron Association and Board of Advisors in showing
our undergraduate brothers and future recruits what “Not for college years alone” really
means. If you can offer support, either financially or through contributions of your time
and energy, we need your help now!
If you are in Corvallis, stop by the house to meet some of the undergrads and see the
improvements we are making to the chapter house. More specifically, join us this fall at
one or several of the Fiji tailgaters we’re hosting during the football season.
Mighty Proud!

The Annual Norris Pig Dinner was held on May 21 at McMenamins Kennedy School. Thanks to
all of the KO graduates who were able to attend, the event was a great success. Fijis from the
1940s to the present came to share in brotherhood with one another.
Iain Schoenberg gave the State of the Chapter Address, and Ken Poirier ’04 presented a
Portland Graduate Chapter update and introduced the members of the new House Corporation and Board of Advisors. Jacob Cramer was the Master of Ceremonies for the night.
Brother Brad Whiting (U of WA), Section Chief for the Northwest Chapters, was our keynote
speaker. He shared his story of being a Fiji, then focused his remarks on recruitment and how
important it is. He told us, “If a chapter is not growing, it is dying.”
Then our recruitment chairman, Adrian Gonzalez, and recruitment
co-chairman, Adam Damiano, discussed their goals for summer
recruitment. Their goal was to bring in 15 quality guys who could
be great Phi Gams. Pig Dinner was a great success and again
the KO Chapter thanks all who could make it.
Recruitment Update
Recruitment this summer has been great. So far we have 11 new pledges and are well on
track to making our goal of 15. In our opinion, there couldn’t be a better summer job than this.
As recruitment chairmen, we get the opportunity to meet a number of quality young men
coming right out of high school, and then as the summer goes on, we organize and enjoy
events focused around having a good time with the chapter. We’ve hosted several barbecues
this summer, as well as the annual rafting trip on the Deschutes River. We had a tailgater for
the Louisville football game on September 18. The summer has been fun and productive for
us as recruitment chairmen, and for the chapter as well. The new pledges we have signed
have astounded us at times with their maturity and quality of character. We are hopeful for this
new pledge class and believe that in a short time, these men will raise the bar for what it
means to be a KO Fiji. Fraternally, Adrian Gonzalez and Adam Damiano
Congratulations to Our New Graduates!
Jared
Blake
At the end of spring term 2010, the KO Chapter had to say goodbye to three outstanding Phi
Gams. Brothers Brent Wehage, Patrick Kervin, and Jared Blake all graduated with Oregon
State’s Class of 2010. Their senior leadership helped advance the chapter to what it is today.
Their support and friendship has helped many of the younger members mature into great
FIJIs. Kappa Omicron Chapter wishes each of these brothers all the best in their future
endeavors, and we look forward to seeing them again at KO events!
Fiji and Chi Omega Join Forces in Relay for Life
Patrick
Kervin
Kappa Omicron Chapter teamed up spring term with the ladies of Chi Omega to participate in
the annual Relay for Life at OSU. Together, we more than met our goal of raising $3,000 — we
actually raised more than $4,000! On the night of Relay for Life, we camped out in the Memorial Union Courtyard and played games and socialized while we waited for the Closing
Ceremony.

a
Delta
Al Lindstrom ’51 Honored at Ekklesia
At the 162nd Ekklesia, brother Al Lindstrom was recognized for his continued support and
constant dedication to the KO Chapter. Al became a Fiji in 1947, when he was asked to
stay in the house during rush week. He was impressed with the chapter, and quickly found
lifelong friendships with the other Fijis. Al’s favorite memory is the Grass Skirt Dance,
which was held at the chapter house each spring term. Fiji greatly impacted Al’s life
because of the camaraderie he found with his pledge brothers. Later, Al became the
president of the Portland Graduate Chapter, which won third place in the national competition for the Brightman Award in 2008 and second place in 2009. Al is a great Phi Gam and
truly shows why Fiji is “Not for College Days Alone.”
During the summer, brothers Benjamin Briscoe, Austin Dewitt, and I had the privilege of
flying to Phoenix to attend the 162nd Ekklesia. As our governing body for Phi Gamma
Delta, Ekklesia is held every even-numbered year, and this year it was held at the Biltmore
in Phoenix, Arizona. Each undergraduate chapter was given three votes, and it was a great
honor to be there representing our beloved chapter with my vote. At the meetings and
during the social events, we were able to meet brothers from chapters and colonies all
around the country. It was a great opportunity to talk with our brothers from different states,
learn from their successes and failures, and bring home a number of great ideas for
everything from philanthropic endeavors to recruitment events.
We also learned a great deal about how the Fraternity is run, and it was a special opportunity to take part in the decision-making. It was a learning experience from start to finish,
and really made me proud to be a member of Phi Gamma Delta. I thank the brothers of
Kappa Omicron for allowing me this great honor. Fraternally, Grant B. Herron

Portland Graduate Chapter to
Ken Poirier ’04. (See page 4.)
Mark your calendars! On December 4, 2010, when the Civil War game comes to Reser
Stadium, KO Chapter will host an Open House, complete with refreshments and snacks,
beginning three hours before game time. Come and tour the house, and view the great
improvements that were accomplished during the summer. Members of the House
Corporation will be on hand to talk about the work already completed, the many house
repairs and upgrades yet to be done, and the need for a vital Capital Campaign. Then it’s
off to the KO Civil War Tailgater and barbecue.
The FIJI flag will mark our spot outside the stadium! GO BEAVS!
Social Events
We held our annual Fiji
Islander at the home of
Jacob Cramer’s parents.
One week prior to Islander,
we all met at the Cramers’
to help clean and get the
place ready. We constructed
our own bar, and even
brought in sand to make a
beach dance floor. We had a
great turnout, and everyone
had an awesome time. The
chapter extends a huge
thank-you to the Cramers for
hosting Islander.
We also cooked breakfast
one spring morning for the
ladies of Delta Gamma and
brought it to their chapter
house. We prepared
scrambled eggs, pancakes,
an assortment of fruits,
breakfast rolls, and coffee.
After breakfast, the Ladies of
Delta Gamma gave us tours
of their house.
Chapter Brotherhood
During the 2010 spring term, Grant Herron organized two
Brotherhood events: clay shooting on Mary’s Peak and,
the following weekend, paintballing at the Paintball
Palace in Eugene. Chapter members were able to spend
time with each other and bond as brothers. The clay
shooting event was a time for some to hone their skills.
For others, it was the first time handling a shotgun. We
were able to rent the Paintball Palace and light each
other up for several hours. Staffmembers there were nice
enough to provide some free paintballs toward the end of
our session, and they even joined us for a few rounds.
During the summer, after
graduates and students
worked together on the
demolition part of the project,
the 2nd- and 3rd-floor
bathrooms were renovated
with new plumbing, sinks,
shower heads, lighting, and
wall and floor tiles.
The bathrooms are now
waterproof, and the kitchen
ceiling, which had been
patched for many years to
protect it from the leaky
bathroom plumbing, was
repaired the RIGHT way.

Portland Graduate Chapter
Brothers,
Each of us spent our formative college years learning of the Phi
Gamma Delta motto “Not for College Days Alone,” and now as
graduate brothers, it is our responsibility to live it. The goal of the
Portland Graduate Chapter is to embody that motto and be an
organization where FIJIs from every part of the world can come and
participate in continuing brotherhood. In the past couple years, the
Portland Graduate Chapter has become very successful and
flourished under the leadership of Al Lindstrom ’51. As the new
chairman, it is my responsibility to continue the hard work and
dedication that Al and the rest of the committee have brought to
Portland. This year’s schedule is jam-packed with events designed to engage our most
“experienced” graduates as well as the newbies. Luncheon events will occur on the second
Wednesday every other month, starting on October 13, and new Happy-Hour events the
second Thursday every other month, starting on November 11. We are lining up some
special guest speakers that you won’t want to miss for all of our events. Please visit our
chapter Web site, www.pdxfiji.com for the full up-to-date schedule.
All of us in the Portland Graduate Chapter are proud and excited about the renovations and
improvements made to the KO Chapter house this past summer, though we understand that
there is much work still to be done. We congratulate the undergraduates on a successful
recruitment, and welcome all of our new FIJI brothers into the fold. Thank you for your support,
and we all look forward to seeing everyone at our next event.
Fraternally,
Kenneth Poirier KO ’05, Portland Graduate Chapter Chairman

KO Chapter’s
Owl in a
Tree Stump
Three years ago, a major
windstorm blew over one of
the two huge oak trees in
the back yard. During spring
term, another windstorm
forced one the branches on
the other tree to break off,
crushing four cars. The tree
was inspected, and it had to
come down. Once the tree
was cut down, there was a
huge stump left and a
professional tree carver was
hired to carve an Owl out of
the leftover stump.

Farewell to John Poorman, KO’s Most Senior Graduate
John M. Poorman, Sr., ’32-140, of
Portland, died June 28, 2010. At
the age of 99 years, he was
Kappa Omicron Chapter’s oldest
living member. Until three days
before his death, brother
Poorman was reading the Wall
Street Journal daily and sending
pertinent articles to friends via email. Studying the economy was
a lifelong passion.
His college majors were mechanical engineering and military
science. He graduated in 1932,
during the Great Depression, and
considered himself lucky to find a job driving a truck for
Standard Oil. He stayed with Standard Oil for nine years,
working in accounting and sales in Gresham, Eugene, San
Diego, Los Angeles, and Salem.
John married Lois Masten in 1937, and they had two sons,
Ken [’61-610] and John Jr. [’63-646]. Lois passed away in
1980, and John later married Marie Busch. She died in
2003. John’s long and varied career included 22 years of
military service; a business partnership with his father,
Kenneth Poorman, in a trucking company; development of a
John R. O’Connor, ’37-201, of
Medford, Oregon, died June 8, 2009, at
age 95. His family informed the graduate office.
Walter H. “Bud” Smith, ’41-271, of
Boise, Idaho, died March 11, 2010. As a
student at Oregon
State, he was in
ROTC and majored
in civil engineering.
He also met his future wife, Mary
Jacobson, when
the two were university students.
They were married
in White Horse, Yukon Territory, in 1942,
while Walt was serving in the US Army,
and their marriage continued for 66
years, until Mary passed away in 2009.
He was president of the Boise Water
Corporation and retired as president of
Intermountain Gas Company in 1985. He
loved running, walking, travel, golf, gardening, and baking bread. His breads
won many ribbons at the Idaho State Fair.
Among Walt’s many activities were
his memberships in the Boise Toastmasters, the Idaho Society of Professional Engineers, the Boise Valley
Roadrunners, Boise Lions Club, and the
Pacific Coast Gas and American Waterworks Associations. He was active in his
church, and he volunteered at St. Luke’s
Hospital in Boise. Walt leaves behind two
residential subdivision in Baker, Oregon, with his son, John
Jr.; and general business consulting.
When he graduated from college in 1932, John was
commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in field artillery. He was
called to active duty in 1940, and in 1942 was assigned to
the War Department General Staff in Washington, DC. He
was a founding member of the Transportation Corps of the
US Army. As a Transportation Corps officer and transport
commander, he made 18 Atlantic crossings to Africa, Italy,
France, and England. He attained the rank of full colonel at
age 35, and served in the Army Reserve for nine years after
World War II.
John’s business career began in 1945, when he joined the
Kenneth Poorman Trucking Company. The company owned
three trucks at the time. By 1959, Poorman Trucking had
become a major hauler of cement, lumber, and steel in the
western US, and the family sold the company to
Consolidated Freightways. However, John’s family wrote that
“his greatest accomplishment was as husband, father,
grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. He was, most of
all, a good guy. He genuinely cared about other people —
especially his family.” John’s son, John Poorman, Jr.,
passed away in 2000. Surviving family members include
John’s son, Ken; grandson, Andrew [’95-1308]; as well as
three other grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
daughters, Diane Glase and Marcia
Donnelly; a son, Walter; six grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
R. Joseph Sweeney, ’42-287, died
at his home in Portland on May 26, 2010.
He was 89. During World War II, Joe
served in the US Army Signal Corps as a
cryptanalyst, attaining the rank of first lieutenant. After completing his dental training at Northwestern University Dental
School, he practiced
dentistry for three
years with his father
in his home town of
Seattle, before moving to Longview,
Washington, where
he opened his own
practice in 1953. Joe
had his dental practice in Longview for
34 years, and he was
an active member of the Rotary Club and
the American Dental Association. In
1975, he married Kay, and they moved to
Portland, Oregon, after Joe retired in
1987. In Portland, Joe was active in his
church. He and Kay enjoyed traveling to
Europe and Japan, and the fellowship of
friends and family. Joe is survived by Kay
and one stepdaughter, Ruth Hendricks.
Charles F. Sperr, ’49-397, longtime
skier, ski instructor, machine shop owner,
and restaurateur at Government Camp,
Oregon, died June 19, 2010. He was 86.
Charlie was regarded by many as
the unofficial mayor of Government
Camp, which has never been incorporated as a town. Charlie’s Mountain View
Restaurant & Bar has long been regarded by area residents and visitors as
the place to go “if you want to know
what’s going on in Government Camp.”
According to Jim Collins ’46, who informed the graduate office of Charlie’s
passing, Charlie kept in touch with many
KO brothers over the years, and he
named his dog “Fiji.”
He was introduced to skiing as a
young child, and he continued skiing
until he was 82. He and his first wife,
Jeanine, ran two ski areas at Government Camp. Charlie also started a successful heavy machinery business, and
launched the first Government Camp
cable television operation, which became known locally as “Charlie Vision.”
He started a half-dozen bars and restaurants from Government Camp to Welches
to Cannon Beach, but Charlie’s Mountain View Restaurant & Bar, which
opened in 1977, was the best known.
He served in the South Pacific with
the National Guard during World War II,
and after the war, as a student at Oregon
State, he worked part time as a radio
broadcaster with KOAC. He graduated
with honors, and was soon deployed to
Korea. Later, he went through psychoCont. on page 6

logical warfare training at Georgetown
University, and was then shipped to
Boise, Idaho, where he worked for Voice
of America. While he was stationed in
Idaho, Charlie found his way to the best
nearby ski area — Sun Valley. From then
on, he made annual ski trips to Sun Valley for 58 years, and he gained many
friends there.
Charlie leaves behind two daughters, Shelly Sperr-Hakanson and Riki
Strong; two sons, Charlie L. and Charlie
D. Sperr; five grandchildren; and many
friends. On the day after Charlie passed
away, every bar, restaurant, and public
house from Sandy to Government Camp
lit up their reader boards with messages
saying, “We’ll miss you, Charlie.”
Thomas E. Ward, ’56-520, of San
Angelo, Texas, died at his home on May
18, 2010, at age 75. He graduated from
the University of Texas in Austin and entered the US Naval Reserve. He met his
first love, Carolyn Stutts, when he was a
Naval officer stationed in Kingsville,
Texas, and they were married in 1960.
Tom worked for Monarch Tile Mfg., Inc.,
for 28 years, until 1988, when he and
Carolyn moved to Florida and he joined
Alpha Tile Distributors. They returned to
San Angelo in 1996. Carolyn passed
away in 2004 after an extended illness,
during which Tom cared for her. He married Sue Burroughs in 2007. She survives, along with Tom’s two sons, Lewis
and Hugh; his daughter, Sue Ellen Lowe;
stepdaughter, Phyllis Burroughs; Tom’s
twin brother, Jerry Ward (ΚΣ-OSU); and
seven grandchildren. Tom will be remembered by many friends: golfing friends,
church friends, and friends in the Shannon Hospital Auxiliary, where he volun-

teered much of his time and served as
president.
Michael D. Eilers, ’64-655, a dentist
who made Portland his lifelong home,
died of cardiac arrest on March 19, 2010,
while playing a round of
golf with his mother in
Palm Springs, California. He was 68. Mike
was a talented athlete
and lover of sports
throughout his life. As a
high school student at
Central Catholic High
School in Portland, he
excelled in football,
basketball, and baseball. He attended
Oregon State on a baseball scholarship.
In 1964, he entered the University of Oregon Dental School, where he met Mary
Kathryn Heriza, a dental hygiene student.
They were married in 1967, and soon
moved to Stuttgart, Germany, where Mike
was stationed as a captain in the US
Army Medical Corps. Professionally, he
was known as a skilled and caring dentist. He would often give volunteer presentations at local schools about the im-
portance of good oral hygiene and the
dangers of tobacco use.
He and Mary K. raised three sons,
Mark, Scott, and Greg. Mike was a youth
sports coach, and he served on the board
of the Raleigh Hills Little League for several years, including one year as president. His favorite sport was fly-fishing.
He enjoyed many fishing trips, from
Alaska to the Yucatan Peninsula, but
most of all he loved fishing for steelhead
on the Deschutes River in Central Oregon. He gave much time to charitable
pursuits, including Medical Teams International, City Kids Fishing, and various
activities organized by his church. Most
recently, he and Mary K. traveled with a
dental team to Cambodia, where they
provided free dental care to more than
300 orphans. In addition to Mary K. and
their three sons, Mike leaves behind his
mother, Mary Eilers; and seven grandchildren.
Robert L. Digerness, ’78-955, of
Portland, died March 4, 2010, according
to the Oregon Stater. He was 54, and was
employed as a surveyor by the city of
Portland.
