Joe Clement

Joe and I were fraternity brothers. We rented a house and lived together in Peoria after graduation. At one point we decided to have a party and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to call it a purple passion party. The main drink would be wine mixed with vodka or perhaps ever clear. My memory is that we mixed it in a tub, at any rate it was self serve and purple. We were concerned that frat brothers and other friends would trash our house, but as it turned out Joe and I were able to do that without their assistance. It was so bad we both had to get hotel rooms after everyone left. That party is infamous to those who attended. Joe and I had some great times together and I will never forget him or those times.
