Beta Sigma Chapter Meeting 1933

Conclave 1956

I know it has been a long time, but I wanted to give all of you a shout out to say thank you for all of the calls, cards, emails, and condolences on the loss of Uncle G (Bro. George Nelson). Me and the family appreciate all of your support.

Here is a rare one! Thanks to Bro. Craig Arthur (Iota Sigma Chapter) this rare 1956 Conclave Picture – Miami, Florida, is courtesy of Bro. Bill Harris (Lambda 1955 / Iota Sigma).

Enjoy…..

p.s. You have some giants in this picture! Who can name all of the past international presidents in this picture?
