D.U. Alumni In The News Fox DiscussesOpen Visor; Applauds A.R. Program Former Alumni Relations Chairman Dave Fox, '66, made the following comments about The Open Visor in a letter which he recently sent to the chapter: "Well, P.O. Box 3705, it seems the brothers are at it again. The last big alumni relations push (and Open Visor) that ,I can remember was the year I was secretary, 1965¡ 66 . . . Good luck to you. It's a pain at times, but believe me, there isn't an alum that doesn't enjoy reading about his very own chapter of present and past. And every once in a while you'll get one of those great letters from some 'Grand Old Grad' that makes it all worth it." He continues, "The only news I have would be to use The Open Vi'OT to congratulate all the prolific brothers' wives who have announced to me the birth of this or that offspring. Yes, girls, I did get the announcement ... DUingly Yours, DAF."
