Maine Sigma Chi brothers recently gathered to support the Sarasota Sigma Chi Alumni Association at the Field Club in Sarasota, FL. What a fun time for UMaine friends to gather and reminisce about good times at Orono while supporting the local Habitat for Humanity! The guys even sang a lovely rendition of “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.” Maine Sigma Chis and partners attending were Steve and Jane Survant Bonville ’70, Bob and Maggie Ames Flynn ’70, Greg Johnson ‘68 and his fiancée Carol Hancock, Pat and Donna Violette Maiorino, John McElwee and Kate Debevoise, Mike ’67 and Pat Bradstreet McNamara ’68, and Mike and Carol Gates Rice.
