First Charter Snake Reunion regrets having to advise our readers and friends that W. Ben Waters, Jr. who was a member of the Kappa Sigma Nu Colony that led to the formation of the First Charter Eta Beta Chapter of Sigma Nu, passed away on Monday, November 3, 2008, at Duke Raleigh Hospital following a brief illness. Some of you met Ben Waters for the first time during the Snake Reunion held Sepember 3-4, in Raleigh. Photos of a smiling Ben Waters are found among the reunion photos on these pages.
