Andrew Kuebrich was among the first students I met when I began working at Monmouth College. He was the president of his chapter of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, so he and I talked frequently. I appreciated his willingness to "call it like it is" as we talked about the state of the college's fraternity system overall, and his fraternity in particular.
Andrew would drop in my old, dark, cave of an office (which is now the home of the college's student programming board) and plop down on one of the too-low chairs which was just not designed for his tall frame. He'd kick his feet up on the coffee table and make himself comfortable. There was something about that office that seemed a little conspiratory, and Andrew liked to play into that.
"Let me tell you a secret, Daniel," he would say, his eyes darting back and fourth, over-conspicuously looking for a phantom eavesdropper.
"What's that, Andrew?" I would ask.
OCTOBER 20, 2011 — DAVENPORT, IOWA — Since 1937, Jamboree Today newspaper has been providing "the news you can use" to participants at National Scout Jamborees.
"It's a proud tradition," says Daniel M. Reck, a Unit Commissioner in the Boy Scouts of America's Illowa Council, which serves the region surrounding the Quad Cities. "I was proud to serve during the Boy Scouts' centennial celebration in 2010," he says.
Reck will be returning to Jamboree Today again at the next National Scout Jamboree in 2013. This week he was appointed to the staff and has been asked to provide advice for Jamboree Today's social media operation.
"In 2010, I was asked to launch Jamboree Today's online presence," Reck says. "Within hours we had thousands of people interacting with us. It was fantastic."
While serving as a copy editor for the paper, Reck monitored social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for talk about the jamboree, and he interacted with parents and Scouters from around the world who were unable to attend."When I discovered a post from one father at home about talking with his son at the jamboree through Apple FaceTime, I knew there was a story," Reck says.
