Ben Kemper Remembers Angie
“Here is what comes to mind when I remember Angie Scalise at Clarkson College and as a fraternity brother:
Lively, generous, outgoing personality in a happy-go-lucky sense. Acrobatic skills, in an improv moment he would walk around a room on his hands. He had a smile for everyone.
One of the few freshmen to have a car, once on a short school break he drove three of us to Long Island, because he had never seen NYC and wanted to take a look.
He enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid hunter. Liked to get out after a fresh snow fall because it was easier to track.
Sometime during his sophomore year, or there about, he left Clarkson and sometime later returned quite successfully to the college academic world at Michigan State. Upon doing so laughingly he told me his father had said to him, "You will NOT join a fraternity."
Last year after several decades of losing contact, Angie called me from his home in Arizona. He had the same great effervescent voice and manner. We had some good laughs reminiscing the Lambda Iota days. The conversation ended with the idea we would meet up again-- I hope someday that is so--but it won’t be in Arizona.”
