Brother Jack Carey was killed in an accident in Colorado on Friday July 17th. He was hit by a pickup while “mountain biking” on a road in the mountains of Colorado. He was a celebrity in Telluride for many years and was well known.
He was the pledgemaster for my class in March of 1970 at 69 Davis Street. Army veteran, KSC grad, HS teacher, husband, straight as an arrow. He moved to Colorado to ski. Became a world class hang glider pilot among other things. God rest his soul.
from Brother Tom Philbin
Thirty-year local “Captain” Jack Carey was killed on Friday afternoon atop Lizard Head Pass while biking when he strayed from his lane and into traffic. He was 64 years old.
San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters said Carey was cycling with his wife, Monica, on Friday afternoon. Carey turned around to look at Monica and drifted into the path of a truck coming up behind him, Masters said.
He was killed within “seconds,” according to San Miguel County Coroner Bob Dempsey. The accident occurred around 1 p.m.
The longtime and long-bearded local with a chowder-thick New England accent made his home high up in Ophir, where he’d ski and hike the peaks ringing the valley. He leaves behind Monica and his daughter, Jill Curtis, of Salt Lake City.
But in stories across town on Thursday, the Captain lived on. He was a hang-gliding champion and dyed-in-the-wool-sock skier. Someone who poached first chairs of the season and tended a simple garden.
“Anybody who’s been here for any amount of time knew Jack,” Masters said. “He was a local character.”
The Colorado State Patrol was investigating the scene all afternoon on Friday, but the agency’s accident report is not expected until Monday. …

Alumni Brother Bob Camirand of Kappa Delta Phi, Gamma Chapter at Keene State College has retired after 15 years as head football coach at Concord, New Hampshire High School where he was their all time winningest coach.
Brother Camirand guided the Crimson Tide to three Division I championship games and the Division I title in 2000. Concord finished above the .500-mark in 10 of his 15 seasons.
Brother Camirand, who retired from teaching two years ago and thoughts of the day he’d step down from the football post became more prevalent. So after the Tide won its season finale last fall, wrapping up its 10th winning season in Brother Camirand’s 15 years at the helm, he left as the program’s all-time winningest coach, with an 86-68 record.
“I’d been doing it for 37 years, and I’m looking forward to a fall where I’m not worried about who’s coming out, about who’s coming back, how to fund raise, how to defend …” Brother Camirand said. “If I want to go see family on a Sunday, I don’t have to come back and look at film for five or six hours afterward.”
| On March 28th 2008 Kappa Delta Phi Brothers and Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Sisters met in Portland Maine to perform community service and for a social meeting.
Chapters represented
We met at couple of locations and then trekked to Chi chapter alumnus, David Jones. Dave Jones was seriously injured a year ago during a skiing accident, but due to his perseverance he has made incredible strides in recovery. This is not surprising as that he has been described as Captain America by his Chi Chapter alumni. Kappa Chi Alumnus Sister Jill Bivona arranged the community service for Brother Dave Jones. They knew each other during their active days when Dave was an active Brother of Chi chapter and Jill was an active Sister of Kappa Chi, located at Southern New Hampshire University. The crew of Kappa Delta Phi Alumni Brothers, Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Alumnae Sisters and Active Brothers from our UMaine Colony helped Dave clean sweep his basement, handle some over growth in his yard, and clean swept the upstairs of his house. While Brother Scott Moody (Xi chapter) and Sister Nicola Reis-Sedgwick (Kappa Chi Chapter) whipped up some serious grub for the hard working teams. Brother Vinnie DeMambro (Eta Chapter) was the brother of the day, installing two sets of banisters and re-doing an exterior wall and other construction around the house, Brother DeMambro operates a construction company located in Bar Harbor, Maine. The active brothers of Alpha Alpha colony (with a little help and supervision from alumni brothers from a couple of different chapters) were set to some serious lifting, carrying a lot of heavy weight from the basement to the pickup trucks making runs to the local dump. Brother Scott Cranston (Nu Chapter) was the master of yard shrubbery and tackled some serious overgrowth. We are happy to report Scott still has all of his digits and did one heck of a job. The alumna Sisters from Kappa Chi, Kappa Iota and Kappa Eta turned their critical eye to the overflowing wardrobe of Dave Jones and performed a “what not to wear” episode before our very eyes. Once the “what not to wear” episode was over they changed channels to “Flip this house” and they transformed the upstairs into an area any top notch bed and breakfast would be proud to own. Yard work, Basement and Upstairs transformations and construction being completed we turned our attentions to the food and to wishing Alumni Sister Victoria DeMambro (Kappa Eta) a very happy birthday. We then broke camp for the day and returned to our assorted hotel rooms to rest and get ready for the evening social. Kappa Eta Sister Jennifer D’Appollonio secured our evening social at Foreplay Sports Bar in Portland Maine. The Owner of Foreplay Sports Bar is married to Kappa Iota Alumni Sister Chandra Palian. They were extremely gracious hosts to us closing off the upper level for our social. |
