He has embodied the most esteemed "True Gentleman" doctrine in all ways of his life and I am proud to call him friend and brother. No better example could be found; and I am so glad that others have recognized his noble nature. May God continue to bless him and his family - as Ken has been such a blessing to all who have known him.

I remember all of the tireless work you put in at NY Delta and what great shape we all left the chapter in upon graduation. I still am in frequent contact with Lee Kirk, Ben Adams, Bill Vrooman and Phil Stevens. I, too am a grandfather to 7 year old twin boys. They definitely are the love of my life. My sons and I started a winery in Southern California; check it out on the web. Best of health and happiness to you. In the bonds, Fred Jack–

Many of the things he said during those years of upheaval were not really understood. It was taken as being sympathetic to the radical movement. Some said even uglier things. When I became Archon of the chapter, Jack told me that we had to be non-judgemental about the issues we faced and yes, it was tough, especially when we had demonstrations. Jack taught me to be the one of the best Preceptor's in the fraternity and every time I did that part for a new chapter especially, I still remember what he said about the manner in which the Preceptor's role should be taken: you are a teacher, not a preacher. Thanks for a great interview, though short. And hello to Jack Hotaling, a great brother to this fraternity. It is really great to hear Jack Hotaling is still a part of the fraternity.

Ken was the person I contacted to get into the tournament and gave me all the information I needed to make the cross country trip from California. He also introduced me to a great number of SAE's from all over the country that had been participating in the tournament for a number of years. Ken showed me that he is one of the reasons we all became E's. He is a True Genteleman and I am proud to have gotten to know him. I will see you all at the end of the month for the 2009 tournament. And to Gene Flathman.....I am bringing back the Ipod and the dirty towel. Phi Alpha, Ryan Miller I had the pleasure of playing in the SAE golf tournament for the first time in 2008.

Wesley Ely, M.D. It's nice to hear about someone who has the right priorities in place and understands the gifts he's been given. What a great man to be able to call a brother.

The first and foremost reason is Ken Jernigan. I am sure that any other regular to the tournament would tell you the same. Ken is the epitome of the “True Gentleman” and his tireless work and devotion to his local chapter and the tournament are truly inspiring. Through the good times and the bad, Ken and his tournament committee have made the tournament not only fun, but an honor to SAE and what it represents. I am proud to call Ken a brother and will never forget him, or any of the other E’s around the country that I have had the pleasure to meet and become friends with through my participation in the tournament.

I was there when John won the award. What a proud moment. I had only known him for a short amount of time and already knew he deserved it. Meeting Miss America wasn't bad either. Great Interview.
