August 1, 2001 was the date and, if you were there, scroll down through the pictures that follow to see if we captured you digitally.  If you weren't there, you can scroll down and see all the fun you missed.  

Bob and Edie Kreider, the genial host and hostess for the summertime soiree pulled out all the stops in opening their home to 45 chapter members and invited guests.  As you know, our annual summer picnic — in addition to being a good reason just to get together — provides an opportunity to get to know our local area PSU undergrads and wish them well for the new school year.  This event was special for another reason too, in that Prez Randy Gallas awarded Carl Stravinski Scholarships to two students — Ross Bendik and Greg Mason.
