Regular readers will recall the controversy surrounding the Mathematics prize awarded in 1960 something to Brother Virgil for winning the Mu Alpha Theta math brainiacs contest. (See previous posts)
Readers may also remember that Virg's older brother, Steve, took some small comfort from the fact that though he lost to his baby brother, at least he scored a third place award.
NEW FACTS TODAY:
The following note arrives by special post from another classmate, Mary Jo Bartos, originally thought to have tied for third with Steve.
She writes:
"Actually was digging thru some stuff…. And Steve Rolfsrud and I were not tied. I was tied with another Steve. And Steve Rolfsrud came in behind us."

Her big sister, Lorlee, adds this post script:
"Looks like Steve just can't catch a break on this one."
