Every once in a blue moon brother Gray and I get together—this time at the renowned Park Lunch in Newburyport on a snowy day in February. Steve resides near Portsmouth, NH and is active running his real estate business which stretches as far north as Lake Winnipesaukee and Wolfeboro. A good man—I promise we will do this more often.

After a one year hiatus, the result of the 2020-21 pandemic, brothers Bodell, Everhart, Loveland, Veasey, Uihlein and Pledge Evans reunited in Naples for one more long weekend of friendship, brotherhood and sunshine courtesy of D-boy at his lovely winter home on the sandy beaches of Naples, Florida. Usual fine dining and daytime excursions including a pontoon cruise to Marco Island and a road trip to Pine Island to pay a visit to the Baron von Stumm (Tim).

TB's Marriage Celebration

In February 2021, mid-pandemic, Tod and Wendy tied the knot in a small ceremony in Essex, CT. They managed a brief covid safe Honeymoon in Kennebunkport, ME before stopping by the Veaseys for a socially distanced lunch and an introduction to his lovely new bride whereupon he was presented with an engraved Loving Cup from brothers Everhart, Loveland, Sully, Veasey, Uihlein, and Pledge Evans to mark the occasion.

Next, on the weekend of September 17, 2021 the happy couple hosted a covid free marriage celebration with a select group of family and friends.  The aforementioned boyz together with spouses arrived from across the country as well as Bobby and Susie Parsons who cruised by boat over from Fishers Island for the occasion. D-boy hosted a Friday night dinner for the Beta party and TB and Wendy which was followed of by a classic Yankee marriage celebration at the Old Lyme Beach Club on Saturday.

The Men of BO2 reunited for the 7th year in a row at Casa Uihlein in Naples, FL. Thank you so much Dave for your generous and brotherly hospitality.

P.S. We escaped just before the Covid-19 explosion.

Naples VI

It was fifty years ago that six of the brothers in this photo were initiated in to the AZ Chapter of Beta Theta Pi so this years annual spring get-together took on a special moment for the eight Betas posing here on the beach front of d-boys splendid retreat in Naples, FL. The usual cocktails, fine dining, grapefruit league baseball, and camaraderie were enhanced by Bobby Parsons first time participation.

L-R: Uihlein, Everhart, Sully, Bodell, Loveland, Parsons, Veasey, Evans.

The bonds of friendship and brotherhood have definitely stood the test of time.
