Goops was the first Pledge Master for Texas ETA at SFA.  Quick with a smile and a good man.

Goops epitomized in my mind what a true Phi was all about.  My hat was always off to him for going north and coming back with a charter.  Susan and I sadly send our condolences to Rebecca and our brother Jimmy.  It was such a pleasure knowing him.

I found this photo of Billy Harrison recieving the Texas Eta Charter of Phi Delta Theta in the 1963 Stone Fort Yearbook.  I'm grateful for your efforts to receive it and recent efforts to restore it!

I just saw the sad news on Bill. I was lucky to have met Bill in 2000 when I traveled to San Antonio on business. Bill was always cordial and outgoing. He asked me where I went to college and if I had joined a fraternity.  I told him SFA and yes I had joined the Phi Delts. With his son nearby, Bill fell out of his chair as he was laughing so hard and then proceeded to tell me he also went to SFA and joined the Phi Delts. When he told me his bond number was #2 which he was proud of, I almost fell of my chair. Bill didn't want to talk business, but his son kept telling him we need to discuss some business. We would always go out to lunch and tried discussing business but Bill wanted to know why I joined Phi Delts and how was my experience during my college years. His son told me once Billl was like a little kid in a candy store who loved talking about the fraternity. I would see him twice a year and we always talked about the fraternity. Everyone was right, Bill was not only an outstanding man/father, but also a great brother. YITB, Brother Cosby #320
