Abstract
Ken Fahsbender is a member of Phi Mu Alpha. He majored in music and two years after graduation he joined the Army and the Ft. Leonard Wood Band. Later he pursued a Master's from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a PhD from Stanford. He retired from teaching in the California school system.
During this interview he recalls the benefits of being in a fraternity talks about being in a men's choral group, intramural and extramural sports, and competing in track. He also remembers interacting with Coach Jack Horenberger, Lee Short, and Lloyd Pfautsch. He speaks of the value he still finds from the courses outside of his music requirements.
