Randy's Monologue

Decent Essays
I was pleased to see the latest copy of the Serpent, and to read about three of my elderly brothers. Both Randy Butterfield and Jack Lorenz were great buddies of mine back then, and it was fitting that Randy also spoke about Jim Fisher in his flashback. We all had a great time together and have continued our friendship for over 60 years.

Back when we were Littleton Street Sigma Nus, Lorenz, Fisher, and (I think) Tom Pickford joined forces and bought a car. It was a huge c.1930 Packard. It had survived a depression and World War II, and it still ran pretty well. Since they all dated Pi Phis, as did I, it was a great date car. It was called the Bomb.
