Editor’s Note Brothers, It’s that time of year yet again…countdown to the greatest ever St. Pats for the year 2023. Whether you’re a consistent attender or have been an infrequent visitor since graduating, I’d like to encourage you to drop by the chapter house this year! BAAA is putting on a BBQ for the actives & alumni. Beverages, food, and games will be provided.

It was a grand time last year and will be again this year. I say this with the utmost sincerity and hypocrisy since I will be missing this year’s St. Pats celebration. One of my very own and highly respected pledge brothers will be getting married the weekend of St. Pats. Consequently he will be taking the pledge classes of ‘13, ‘14, ‘15, etc. with him. Despite our well-written and well-intentioned petition we were unable to get his wedding moved.

Jack Conroy PC ‘14

Okay bad joke about the petition, but we will continue to give him a lot of grief because we love him and that’s what pledge brothers do. We know the world doesn’t revolve around St. Pats (don’t tell the Board), but it is undeniably an incredible time to reconnect and make new connections with brothers, friends, and family. So if you can find the time to visit, you won’t regret it.

In this edition of the BAAA Journal, we hear Paul Roseman describe the hard work that went into creating a 1st place Cudgel & Float in 2013. We also get to spotlight Mike “Spike” Jonagan, a previous St. Pat, who unsurprisingly is a fun & well-traveled alumnus.

We hope you enjoy this sixth edition and as always if you have any thoughts, comments, or suggestions on things you liked, didn't like, or how to improve please reach out to me at 636-234-8585 or jackryanconroy@gmail.com.

To end this note, I will leave you with an old Irish toast: “May friendship, like wine, improve as time advances. And may we always have old wine, old friends, and young cares. There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be” Fraternally, Jack Conroy 4

BAAA Update Brothers, Happy St. Pats! BAAA has some fun things in store for everyone planning on attending this year’s celebration, but before we get to that, I’d like to share some news on the results of Homecoming ‘22, and what we’ve been up to in the months since then!

This was the second homecoming BAAA has been involved in, and the second iteration of our Trivia fundraiser. Feedback has been mostly positive (difficulty of questions, mixing of teams) and we’ve got some things we’re still iterating on (number of rounds, mulligans). We really appreciate everyone’s involvement, and want to give a resounding thank you to all of you who helped to make it happen! Some of you may have noticed we were selling glassware at the event as well, thanks for those who got some! We’ve got some plans in the works to make those processes smoother in the future as well.

Since then, we’ve been heads down on this newsletter, the upcoming St. Pats celebration, and as always the next homecoming is on the back of our mind.

These things are all possible thanks to our group of volunteers, but we could always use more help! In an effort to get that help, we’re creating a new task group focused on recruitment! If this is something you’d be interested in helping with, feel free to reach out! A full description of the group can be found below: The Recruitment Task Group will be responsible for structured Recruitment (onboarding) to BAAA in three primary areas: a) BAAA succession planning, b) reinforce the depth of all TG`s to maintain vitality, decrease TG volunteer workload and increase participation in BAAA meetings, c) track alumni participation.

Homecoming & Reunions

This group will be instrumental to the future success of BAAA, homecoming, and improving upon all the fun things we’re working on. I hope you’ll consider helping out, and in the meantime, we look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming BBQ on Saturday, March 18th at the chapter house!

From Kansas City to Kazakhstan It's a typical Tuesday. The clock strikes 5pm and it should be time to call it a day. The meeting has dragged on without any real progress, but instead of ending the conversation several men in uniforms enter the room speaking a language you do not speak but it’s clear that they intend to escort you to a different location. They lead you into a tiny room in the third floor attic with a couple of chairs sitting in the middle. You know what these men want…Well not exactly you, you… but the man in the story we're following. His name is Mike aka "Spike" Jonagan. A Beta Alpha of Kappa Alpha Order brother. And he has found himself in a scary situation.

Let’s take a step back. How did our alumni spotlight, Spike, end up in this situation in Kazakhstan? Oh, yeah, I didn’t exactly mention the Kazakhstan part. Spike was living in a former Soviet State at the time of the recounted story. One might guess that Spike was working as a secret agent to spy on former Soviet Union states, but one would be wrong. Spike was a mechanical engineer who worked in the energy industry. A standard outcome after graduating from Missouri S&T – the premier engineering school in the state. But of course, describing Spike only as a Pictured above is the Pledge Class of 1979, Spike is third from the right end.

By Jack Conroy

The Journey of Spike Jonagan mechanical engineer does not tell us much. Let’s dig deeper into Spike’s background to paint a better picture.

He was born in Arizona and moved to Albany, MO when he was just 8 years old.

Albany is a small town located in the Northwestern part of Missouri near the Kansas and Iowa border. The 2020 Census lists the population at 1,600 people.

His high school, Albany R-3, only had 45 kids in his graduating class. Everyone knew everyone, and his father was the local elementary principal. So, Mike Jonagan stayed in line.

So how did Mike become “Spike” if he’s such a good kid? My personal bias relates the name Spike to an outgoing, rock band player or perhaps a tough kid with tattoos that doesn’t take any grief from anyone. It’s a nickname that typically has a story. But this one doesn’t. When I asked Mike about the nickname, he chuckled and explained, “There wasn’t much to it, honestly. Some of my high school classmates rhymed Mike with Spike. They said it’d be my nickname and I truly never thought it would stick. But it did.” Although the origin story of the nickname was a bit anticlimactic, Spike has certainly lived up to his cool 7

nickname. Again, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself.

more right.”

In the summer of 1979, right before Where were we? Oh yes, Spike was a Spike would begin his first semester at good kid. He earned good grades and S&T, he had attended a KA rush worked at the town square’s Western event, a float trip. The gentlemen Auto. He finished in the top of his living in the house at the time had won graduating class and him over and he was full of signed his bid at A group of KAs at potential. the St. Pats, 1983 There were conclusion maybe 4 of the out of event. the 45 He that was went to college.

I’m somewhat brimming generalizing with here, but the excitement to rest either became start this next farmers or spent time in chapter in his life. prison. Spike admitted that his class It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows was not exactly the best though. School was tough and tested representation of his town. The classes before and after had about 60 him more than he had experienced before in Albany. Spike said, “I was a kids with about a majority graduating very very average student. And if my to pursue college degrees. pledge class was here, they would tell What separated Spike from some of you that would be a generous his former classmates may have been statement. I really did just enough to some of the role models he had get by at that time. I don’t have any growing up. He said sincerely, “One of regrets necessarily because the my biggest mentors was the Western experiences I had helped me become Auto owner, Max. When I was getting who I am today. But I’d be lying if I ready to move to Rolla to begin my didn’t say I could have worked harder first semester, I’ll never forget what he and could have made some better told me. ‘Spike, you’re a good kid and decisions.” Finding a way to pass have a bright future. Just remember classes was not the only struggle that when you’re in Albany you shine Spike faced. He also struggled with like a diamond in a goat’s ass. But finding money to pay for those when you go to Rolla, it’s going to be classes. Spike explained, “I came different.’ Max couldn’t have been from a humble background. I didn’t 8

have a lot of money and neither did my parents, so I was basically on my own. When I think back to that time at Rolla, Ed Schmidt was a guy that really helped. He always had a lot going on. I could call him up when things were tight, and he always had a job for me to make some money. He understood kids. He gave me a lot of advice throughout my years at Rolla.

I’ve got a feeling I’m not the only guy that believes this about Ed.” Spike only had positive memories of KA and his brothers. During his time in Rolla, he had served as IV, Corresponding Secretary, and earned a Guard position in St. Pats.

come back to Rolla and earn his degree in Mechanical Engineering which he did with much effort and perseverance.

This time around, Spike landed a more stable job as a staff engineer for a power plant. At first it was overwhelming for him. But it didn’t take long before his curiosity overtook him.

Spike said fondly, “For the first time, walking around that plant I felt my inner engineer, or whatever you want to call it, take over. I became fascinated with the plant. Just a million silly questions started to pop in my head. I wanted to know everything. Starting with the basics. What was the purpose View from the top of the 700 ft of the different equipment and smoke stack at the how did it work? Why did we do Sibley Generating Station.

Spike’s first power plant job. certain things and was there a better way to do things?”

Spike’s approach of always looking for ways to improve paid off big time in the long term. Management appeared to flag Spike as a high performer early on and climbed the ladder quickly. It's worth mentioning around this time that Spike recalls his family pressuring him to check out Europe. They wanted him to spend his money on some new experiences. But After graduating with a degree in he was not about it. He adamantly Petroleum Engineering, things would turned down their suggestions saying, not get easier for Spike. He did get a “I’ve never even been to the Grand job right after school. However, just a Canyon despite living in Arizona for few months after getting the job, he eight years.

He could not seem to catch a I had zero interest in going overseas, break. He did not panic. He decided to 9

anywhere.”

Spike did not go overseas, instead he continued to focus on his career. He quickly became the operations superintendent who oversaw all the plant operators. Then just three years later earned another promotion by becoming the plant superintendent of a different plant that was a smaller operation but dealt with all new technology which was a challenge.

Greenwood Energy Center, Spike’s second job.

Spike divulged into one of his favorite stories during this time at this second plant, “When I was working at the plant, there were these specific tests that we needed to conduct for our generator coils. If a coil failed, we would have to replace the coils immediately. A bad coil could lead to a generator failure which is terrible news.

We did not have the replacement coils on hand. We had to put in a special order to the turbine supplier who would manufacture these coils. Since there was no way to know which coils were good vs bad ahead of the test, we would order a big bulk of coils to ensure we had enough. We ordered 10

the coils, conducted the tests, and had three (3) coils leftover. I asked them if they would be willing to purchase the coils back and they told me to go pound sand. This was obviously not what I was hoping but okay. Fast forward about 6 months later, and guess who I get a call from? The coil supplier. They had constructed a new plant in Virginia that required these exact coils, specially made. They were exactly (3) coils short for one of the generators required to get the plant running. The plant was already behind schedule so they could not wait for manufacturing. In addition, there was a bad winter storm coming through that next weekend. They were in desperate need of these coils. Spike was willing to help, but at a fair price.

He gave them an offer which covered the coil storage fee over the last few months and called it good. However, this was just one more obstacle. The supplier had no way to source freight from Missouri to Virginia. They agreed to pay for the freight, but I had to source it. The deal was going to fall through if we didn’t get this figured out before the winter storm, so I called up Ed. I asked him if he could fly these coils to Virginia but unfortunately, he had sold his planes. He did, however, have a buddy in Memphis who was willing to take on this job. Spike got in touch with Ed’s friend to work out the price and coordinate details. He offered up a price to do the work, which I doubled… Also, this was no easy feat we were thrusting on him, so he deserved the extra cash for helping them out of this jam. The plan was executed almost perfectly. There was a small problem with the plane. There

was a fuel leak, but they fixed it at the STL airport and Ed’s buddy got the coils delivered just before the storm. It was a win-win situation all around. We looked like heroes.Oour supplier was happy. Our Memphis flier was happy.

And all because Ed knew a guy. I really could go on and on about Ed, just a great guy really.”

Fast forward just five years and he was recommended for another promotion to lead part of his company’s unregulated trading business selling commodities. The company was struggling with finding people to move to Kansas City to do this type of work. Many of the recent hires came from New York and let’s just say they were a little high maintenance.

Corporate leadership now wanted to hire someone internal. Someone they trusted and someone that could learn the business.

Despite Spike having no background in selling commodities, his company knew he was the guy. He ran this business successfully for 5 years before his next opportunity came.

His next promotion had him overseeing several power plants in Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. Then just six months later an opportunity in Australia came up to run one of the electrical distribution companies in the state of Victoria. The opportunity was too good to pass up, so he and his family made the leap. They were in Australia for two years and then moved back to the states when Spike was offered a job as

the CEO of regulating all utilities for his company for eight states and two Canadian provinces.

Spike’s rise is quite impressive and it’s difficult to do it justice in our spotlight piece. There are so many more details to each of his career roles, memories, and business endeavors discussed during our conversation. All of it was exceptionally interesting and belongs in a Spike biography. I get the sense that may not be something he’s interested in, given his humble Spike in front a sign near the Chernobyl Site.

demeanor, but our conversation was quite entertaining.

Spike’s next adventure began when he accepted a role as a Regional Vice President for a power company, AES, which was based in Arlington, VA. AES had a huge presence in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The position preferred someone who could speak Russian, which Spike could not. But once again, his company overlooked 11

this because of his other qualifications.

Given all his experience and what the company was trying to accomplish, they felt he could get by with a translator. They were right.

to cross boundaries when attempting to “explain their position”. I recall on several occasions being threatened.

They would not only threaten me, but my family. They would sometimes pick me up and take me to dark rooms to Spike moved to Kazakhstan soon after interrogate me. If they ever started to accepting the get uncivilized, I role and had would threaten apartments in Spike in front of an Orthodox church in to get the US Almaty, London, Kiev, Ukraine. He had an apartment ambassador nearby from 2009-2012 and Ukraine involved. That which he’d stay usually solved at for different the problem. periods of time.

I was told to pack my chalked it up to the cost of doing bags and get out of the country as fast business. The government was willing as I could. I booked a ticket to Moscow 12

and then to London since there were no direct flights from Kazakhstan to London. I’m not going to lie, I was scared. I made it to the airport and found my flight was delayed. I had decided I was going to pay to enter the VIP lounge and attempt to lay low there. You still had to go through immigration and all that but if you paid $100 bucks, you gained entry and the airport officials didn’t ask many questions. Guests were treated very well. They had comfortable chairs, served drinks, allowed you to carry extra bags, etc. A couple guys from customs came to check my passport and I could immediately tell something was off. They took my passport and were gone for a very long time.

Eventually they came back and reluctantly gave me my passport. I suspect they knew there was a warrant out for my arrest, but I was in the VIP lounge. It would have been very bad PR and not good business to have one of their VIP guests arrested so they let me go onto Moscow. It’s almost funny looking back on it now – the VIP lounge saved me. I stayed in London for about four months until I was given assurances by the Kazakhstan authorities that I would not be arrested.”

Not too much later, Spike was ready to start enjoying the next chapter of his life. A life where things could be a little more laid back. Where family is close, and things are a bit less stressful.

Spike stated, “Eventually I felt enough was enough. I had so many incredible friends and mostly great memories working and living overseas. But living in this part of the world when you’re not

from there, it wears you down. I made enough money for a boy from Albany, MO (one who had no aspirations to travel outside the country might I add) and was ready for home. I came back to Kansas City, retired in 2017, and I love being back. Most of my friends and family live in the area. I am seriously happy to be away from all the work stress and focus on family. My second daughter is getting ready to start high school so I’m mentally preparing for that (haha). My oldest daughter lives in Manhattan, NY and I get to visit her. It’s nice because she’s grown into just a fantastic person.

When we visit her, there are several Ukrainian restaurants we always dine at. That is one thing I miss that I don’t get in KC – the Georgian food.

As far as hobbies I love to fish and have a place at the lake. Just being on the water and taking my daughter out there has been nice. My family and I go to Canada once a year for a fishing trip too. I also have found myself in an expensive hobby collecting coins but that’s about all to report at this time.”

I’d like to end the article with a piece of advice Spike gave during our conversation. It’s especially applicable to younger alumni but can be good advice to all no matter the stage in life you’re in: “If you've made some mistakes along your way, be it poor work habits, not staying focused, or applying yourself, just know it's never too late to turn it around. You have a whole life ahead of you. You can wake up one day and decide you're going to shift up a gear.”

By Paul Rosemann

t. Pats has been a tradition at Missouri S&T since 1908 and one of the ways to participate is by crafting a Float and Cudgel. Having spent hundreds of hours working on multiple first place cudgels with my fraternity brothers I can tell you it’s no easy task, but once the Cudgel is complete it’s a sight to behold!

S

The process is long, and had to be well planned out by a Cudgel Chair who is elected by the fraternity. In 2013 that Cudgel Chair was none other than Terrance Dean Feldewerth. We had two years to prepare as making a proper Cudgel that could win the competition can take well over a year. We start by digging the cedar tree out of the ground, locally provided by our Alumni Ed Schmidt and Jim Sower’s land. Digging the tree out of the ground can take months, even with the use of modern farm equipment. The biggest time consuming task is the “snakes” (roots), which have to be dug out by hand so as to not damage them. We then drill out the tree carefully to hollow out the center while slowly burning it out with kerosene. Once the tree has been hollowed KA’s 2013 St. Pats chair, we finally separate the trunk into two halves Terry Feldewerth , stands and set it up on sawhorses to dry out for atop a lattice of cudgels. the winter. While drying getting all the bark and dirt off in the meantime helped with saving time in the spring semester.

We come back from winter break and it’s go time!

Planned out designs based on the St. Pats Theme (Space) are put into action. Just to name a few of the designs that you’ll see pictured are: • Kappa Alpha Order’s Coat of Arms • 2013 St. Pat’s Sweatshirt Logo • Alien and Predator from the Alien vs Predator movies • Missouri S&T’s logo superimposed on the NASA Logo • Discovery Space Shuttle • The Big Dipper Constellation • E.T.’s Glowing Finger • Space Jam • 3 Eyed Aliens from Toy Story Movies • Star Wars Movie Intro Text • Marvin the Martian (Disney) • Mars Attack!

• Miscellaneous Carvings • Of course lots of SNAKES and SHAMROCKS!

Wooden chisels, rubber mallets, dremels, competing in St. Pats is that everyone sanders, rasps and good old elbow from your organization has a way to grease helped us put together this contribute to winning and for me it was winning Cudgel. For me, working on the working on the Cudgel. After the painting Cudgel was like going fishing. A relaxing is done we spend about a week applying way to help win St. Pats and use my a clear coat of polyurethane to seal the hands to make something amazing with Cudgel and then it’s time to relax and win.

The float that a number of our other brothers worked on was truly impeccable.

The Discovery Shuttle required just as much work as the Cudgel and if there was one thing I remember from working on it was how much time it takes to pomp a float that large. Of course it wouldn’t be a proper float from Rolla if there wasn’t some my brothers. Many late nights/early mornings were had. Terry recalls working engineering put into the design. We had until Debbie, our cook at the time, came some pistons set up that were able to tilt the shuttle during the parade as well as in for breakfast that morning which was roughly 5AM. Per Terry he estimates that cannons that fired “jet fuel” pomps out of the thrusters. we spent roughly 2,000 man hours putting together that Cudgel. When it’s As engineering students I still don’t know finally carved and smooth finished we how we found the time to compete and paint. I can’t stress how important the produce these masterpieces along with painting was and in a few cases we have competing in other folly events, but I’m carvings that weren’t perfect, but some of glad we did. I felt it brought us all closer our brothers brought them to life with and showed what a little bit of teamwork paint. That’s one of the best things about and talent can put together.
