Harlan Thrailkill ’76 and Patricia Thrailkill ’76
I met my future wife, Pat, at a Sigma Chi casino party. She had just broken up with her longtime boyfriend, but her sorority sister (TriDelta) roommate talked her into coming to the party. At the end of the night, I asked her for her phone number, and she told me to look it up (this was back when we had dorm phone books). Well, I wasn’t very happy with that response, I thought it was a brush off. A couple days later, my fraternity brothers and I were watching Star Trek, and my brother Mike came in and told me I had a phone call on his bedroom phone. I thought that was very odd. When I picked up the phone, the person on the other end thought that I had called them. It was Pat! Mike had fooled us both. We will celebrate our 48th anniversary this coming June.
