HONORABLE ACHIEVEMENT

 

Since 1935 many Brothers have achieved in several fields of human endeavor.  Past Polemarch, Brother J. Standfield was a leader in the area of Insurance.  Brothers Holland and Wilkerson excelled in Education.  Brothers Wilbert Bluitt, Willard Stimpson and Wilfred “Doc Deano” Anthony continue to lead in the area of Pharmacy.  Our chapter also boasts other successful entrepreneurs in the food service and Catering industry, such as: Brothers James Freeman, Richard Watkins, Cecil Coleman and Roland Parrish, who is the owner of over 15 McDonald’s franchises.  Brother Hugh Harrison has achieved in the area of Finance and Banking by becoming a leading executive with Chase Bank.  He has also served as Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce and Dallas Area Rapid Transit.  Following in the footsteps of Founder Henry T. Asher, Brother Kevin Brooks is a leading Dallas Attorney along with Brothers Reedy Spigner and Craig Watkins (the son of Richard Watkins).  In the field of Politics, 2006 was also a good year for Kappa men.  Past Polemarch Carl Williams was elected as a City Councilman in Desoto and Craig Watkins was elected as the first African-American District Attorney in the history of the state of Texas.  Brother Adrian Drake, who also served our Fraternity as Grand Chaplain, during the administration of Grand Polemarch Robert Harris has been a leading personality in the area of Religion and has co-hosted a popular Sunday morning talk show.  Brothers Earl Richardson (50+ year member) and Earl Melebeck have both achieved in the area of Government Service and Brother Floyd Ferguson (50+ year member) is a celebrated Photojournalist and is noted for chronicling the history of “Black Dallas”.  He is responsible for most of the items stored in the chapter archives.  This is a mere sampling of the MEN OF ACHIEVEMENT who have contributed to the chapter and whose names appear on the rolls of “The Mighty D. A.”
