Beta Chi website

[james holmes]

W e are pleased to announce that there is now an official web site for the 2013 Beta Chi Reunion.

Please visit http://focalpnt.com/BX/ and browse the postings.

Loran Kary took a number of pictures of the house and its residents during his stay during 1969 and 1970.  He wanted to share those pictures with the group and that is how the web site got started. 

We want to encourage everyone to contribute text, photos old and new, movies, articles, links and anything else of interest to the group that can appear on a web site.

Instructions for submitting your contributions can be found at http://focalpnt.com/BX/?page_id=306.

Please visit the site frequently to see what new postings have been added.  Newer posts appear at the top of the home page and older posts will get pushed off the bottom.  So be sure to follow the links to "Older posts" at the bottom of the page.  Click on a category to see just the posts for that category.  Click on images to see higher resolutions.

We also want to encourage everyone to comment on the postings. Click on the link “Leave a reply” for the post or comment on which you want to comment.  When commenting on photographs, please supply the names of people you recognize if they have not already been noted.  What do you remember about that person or persons?

It is our hope that the web site will become an active forum for discussions in addition to the google group and we welcome suggestions for how to make the site more useful.

Enjoy!

Loran Kary and Jim Holmes

OMG. No, no, I mean...  Far out!

There are a ton of pictures in the Loran Kary archive. Worth digging through.

It comes as a surprise to realize I was ever quite that young.

WOW! Quite a trip back in time, through this treasure of images from our collective history. So much forgotten, if not lost. Thanks Jim and Loran. So happy to see Bruce once again.

Many thanks to all those who have helped match up names with faces.  Thanks especially to Hilmar Blumberg, Cotty Chubb and Rebecca Daniels.

We still have many faces without names so please, everyone, help us identify anyone you recognize.  It would be nice to get everyone in the Beclch cast.

Mary Townsend has contributed a wonderful article about how her life would have been different without Beta Chi. We would love to see more people contribute some memories and anecdotes.  

Don't forget to keep checking back at the site to see what's new.

Cheers,

Loran Kary

Hi Loran, we all owe you a big debt for putting those pictures up there. And since no good deed goes unpunished, would you happen to have handy the picture you took of Hugh McCarten, John Carney, Jocelyn Gunnar and me at Altamont? Hugh recalled it to me.

 

   Cheers,

      Cotty

Hi Cotty,

I think it must have been someone else who took that picture.  I did go to Altamont but not as part of your group as I recall.  I have no pictures and I don't remember bringing a camera.

Sorry,

Loran

[hilmar....@gmail.com]

Cottty, If you find that one, I want a copy.

[John Carney]

Loran,

I have been enjoying those photos you posted, but when I saw that latest one of Hugh playing the guitar I realized that I may be missing some of your posted photos as I had not come across that one when I scrolled through the BX website.  Is there a way I can access all your BX photos?

I might actually have a copy of the one taken at Altamont, so I will go through my boxes of memorabilia to see if I can find it...

Thanks Randy, I will post it.

To avoid redundancy, contributions for posting to the website should be sent not to this group but rather to bxre...@focalpnt.com.

I am a retired software developer living in Woodside, CA.  What about you?  Should we have a category on the site, "where are they now"?

-- Loran

[Peter Samelson]

I like the suggestion for the category!

Loran,

Living in Jackson Hole where I am an architect.  No retirement in sight yet, but I am enjoying what I do, so that is fine with me...  I manage to keep up with a number of the old BX gang including Cotty, JB, Will Rogers, Hilmar, Lloyd Fonvielle, Hugh McCarten, to name a few.  I got a lot of that group together four years ago for my 60th birthday here in Wyoming.  JB & Lloyd even wrote a song about Wyoming for it...

I'm pleased to announce some updates to the Beta Chi Reunion web site.

Thank you Cotty Chubb for contributing a recent picture and a nice write-up to "Where are they now?".

Thank you Jim Holmes for putting together a photo gallery of your images for us to enjoy.  These pictures were taken circa 1974 around the same time that Rick King was shooting his film "Off the Wall".  A number of former Beta Chi people worked with Rick on that film.

Please everyone check out Jim's photo gallery at http://focalpnt.com/BX/?page_id=602

Cheers,

Loran Kary

Just a reminder to everyone to check the 2013 Beta Chi Reunion web site periodically for updates.

http://focalpnt.com/BX/

Only a few days left now before the big event so if anyone has anything that you would like to submit to the website but have been procrastinating, now would be a good time.

Thanks,

BX Reunion webmaster
