Did You Land a Job Thanks to Acacia?
Michael Stanley '66 did. He writes: "The connections we make through Acacia can be truly life changing.  In September, 1962, I accepted an Acacia pledge pin from an alumnus named Bill Schmitt '61.  Seven years later, shortly after my return from the Air Force, I reconnected with my Acacia brothers, including Bill. He was the Education Director at a 5-year-old educational facility named - COSI (Center OScience & Industry.) Bill remembered that I had at one time majored in astronomy and asked if I was interested in doing planetarium shows on weekends at COSI while I finished my degree. I took the job - which led to a great 35-year career!"

What's in a (Nick)Name?
Thank you to the brothers who shared stories of their Acacia nicknames.

Michael Stanley '66 a.k.a. "Moonbeam" wrote: "My nickname while going through initiation in 1963, and I believe my pledge name as well, was Moonbeam, conferred on me by brother Ross Petteruti '65, if I remember correctly.  I got the nickname because I was majoring in astronomy, at least initially.  It was actually a nickname I liked, precisely because of my interest in astronomy.  I can can still hear Ross' voice with that Rhode Island accent calling me Moonbeam in chapter meetings.  Yes, the nickname stuck around even after I went active."

Acacia Update
You can say it in your sleep—“to strengthen the bonds of friendship….”

Does it seem a little more difficult to do something about it?  Maybe I can help you out with some suggestions.  There’s plenty you can do to get together with your brothers.

If you are in the Columbus area, some of us have carried on a tradition for nigh on to twenty years.  There is a Tee Jaye’s Country Place restaurant at the corner of Morse Road and High Street.  That is about four miles north of Lane Avenue, or about two miles south of downtown Worthington.  It is about a mile west of the Morse Road exit from I-71.  Several of us have breakfast the first Saturday morning of each month, at 9:00.  We’d love to have you join us.
