Ed Sykes (Delta #680) has a newly published book on Amazon, “The Patch and the Stream Where the American Fell”. A 1967 EE graduate he went on to be a fighter pilot flying the F-105, F-4 and F-16, with 118 combat missions in SEA in 1969. In the book he describes life in Madison in the 1960’s including a nice section on KHK. 40 years after the War he spent 9 years recovering the remains of an MIA fellow warrior with whom he flew. He frequently returns to KHK for Homecoming and still enjoys hanging out at the bar just like he did over a half century ago.

As in past years, the summer of 2020 saw significant renovations to the Delta Chapter House in Madison, WI. This fall, a completely rebuilt third floor bathroom was unveiled, featuring floor to ceiling tile, a redesigned ventilation system with a large blower fan in the attic, brand new lights and fixtures, and a large shower to replace the aging tub/shower combination. This project was a significant undertaking, and we thank all of our active members and house residents from the summer and fall semesters for their help and cooperation getting this completed.
Significant improvements were also made in the attic, including new storage dividers for each member to store personal items that do not fit in their room, new flooring to reduce trip hazards, and significantly brighter lighting. New electrical cable was also pulled through the attic to add new feeder circuits from the upstairs electrical panel for the redone rooms, bathroom, and some common area lighting.
