It is with deepest sadness and regret, that we inform you of the loss of Brother Orville H. (Bud)
Read, Missouri '33. After a long illness, he passed away on October 8, 1991.
Initiated into the Missouri Chapter in 1931, Brother Read remained a dedicated and loyal DU for 60 years. Among his extensive record of service to the Fraternity, were positions he held as Editor of the Quarterly magazine (1947-69); Chairman of the Fraternity Board of Directors (1962-67); President of the Fraternity (1968-69), and author of Delta Upsilon's 150th Anniversary History, "Challenge, Conflict and Change".
Bud will be remembered as a friendly, outgoing, and honest brother with a sincere interest in the
welfare of others. His even-handed and decisive leadership style, was mixed with a visionary sense of how fraternities ought to evolve. At a national Interfraternity Conference meeting, his speech entitled "The Case of the Vanishing Rushee", centered on the adverse effects of increasingly complex fraternity rush requirements. The speech was so well received, it was reprinted in pamphlet form and used throughout the fraternity world. As one of the truly great brothers of the twentieth century, the Delta Upsilon Fraternity will commemorate the loss of Bud Read, by lowering to half-mast all flags at the Fraternity Headquarters on
Founder's Day, November 4, 1991. In addition, the next issue of the Quarterly magazine will feature an article on Brother Read's life, accomplishments, and service to DU. The article will reveal the gift by Bud's wife, Ruth, of $1000 to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. The article will also include the names of those brothers who make memorial gifts to honor the memory of Brother Read. It is hoped that such gifts, over and above an individual's annual support, will match or exceed the $1000 contributed by Mrs. Read. Should you wish to send a gift to the Orville "Bud" Read Memorial Challenge, a return envelope is enclosed for your convenience. Notes or letters of sympathy and condolence may be sent to:

Warm hearts thaw out puppies found in snow

From a distance, the eight little balls of fur appeared to be baby raccoons, huddled together in the extreme cold.

But police Sgt. Ronald J. Readmond wasn't sure. So he left his patrol car and trudged through the deep snow of Loudon Park Cemetery in Southwest Baltimore for a closer look.

What he found were eight puppies apparently abandoned and left to die. "They look like they're 3 or 4 weeks old," the sergeant said.

The litter was huddled under a rock that offered some protection from the wind and snow, but "the poor things were shaking so bad," said Sergeant Readmond, 49. One of the puppies' hind legs was nearly frozen stiff."

The sergeant, who already has two dogs at home, Bo and Angel, carried the puppies to the back seat of his patrol car.

As he drove to the Southwestern District station on Font Hill Avenue, he said, his new charges ran amok. However, other officers at the station immediately adopted them. Officers gathered some rags and found a cardboard box for a bed, and everyone chipped in for dog food.

Most of the puppies are brown and black, but two are white with black patches.

"They're really furry little guys," Sergeant Readmond said. "I don't know what kind they are. Someone said they might have a little German shepherd in them."

The sergeant was taking a shortcut through the cemetery between Frederick and Wilkens avenues about noon when he saw the dogs.

"Someone had to drop them off there," he said. "There is no way they could have gotten through that snow by themselves.

He thinks enough police officers and neighbors will adopt the foundlings to save them from a trip to the animal shelter.

Photo caption: Police Sgt. Ronald J. Readmond of the Southwestern District shows off two of his foundlings, There are six more where these came from.

Ronald Joseph Readmond and Joyce E. Homberg were divorced circa 7 October 1997. Ronald Joseph Readmond died on 5 May 2001 at age 63
