It’s Thanksgiving and that always makes me think of an event that happened in 1898 in Burlington, Vermont. The installation of the Vermont Beta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi took place in the Goodhue family home. The Goodhue’s only child Grace was a charter member of the chapter. Could anyone have ever imagined that Grace would someday become the First Lady of the Land?
The story of Vermont Beta’s installation is on the Pi Phi website in a blog post I wrote last year http://piphiblog.org/2011/11/30/celebrating-vermont-beta/
There are many posts about the Coolidges here on this blog.
