Dear Ms. Hunt,

This semester, a freshman student here at James Madison University decided to join the men of
the Mu Tau chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon and write the next chapter of a story 35 years in the
making.
On September 10th, 2014, Gray Cline entered into pledgeship with the fraternity and became the
first full bloodline legacy in TKE history at JMU. His father, Sparky Cline, was an active
member of the Mu Tau chapter of TKE here at JMU from 1978 to 1981. Before this semester,
there have been no father-son legacy bloodlines in this chapter of the fraternity.
Born and raised right here in the Shenandoah Valley, Gray and his father experienced hardship
and loss as a single-parent family, and their story is one of true perseverance and character. I
have developed a personality profile feature on Gray and his father that is without a doubt worth
running in your next edition of The Breeze, and I feel it will fit perfectly in your Life section.
Attached is the aforementioned feature story. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact me at (240) 446-7643 or via email at archibcm@dukes.jmu.edu. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,

Connor Archibald
