OX: Why
did you join Theta Chi? Michael Noble: Great guys - real people - like me. Regular
folk.
OX: What is your favorite
Theta Chi memory or story? MN: Beta Iota Sigma. Step Chicks. 5:15. And on Sunday
nights, 'for the good' was always my favorite time.
OX: What kind of influence
has the fraternity had on your life since graduation? MN: I always carry a dollar's worth of change in my pocket
whenever I'm wearing pants. And I keep my reporter's notebooks covered
in pennies and duct tape, in case someone wants to try to launch them into
space.
OX: What is your nickname?
How did you get it? Did anyone in particular give it to you? MN: It never stuck, but Corsica was the one they gave
me. Something happened INSIDE the chevy corsica we rented for our pledge
bolt involving me. That is all I'll say about that.
OX: Did you live in the
house? If so, who were your roommates? Tell us about a memorable time
with them. MN: Bill Herron was quite the madman. Sort of like living
with a cross between Jim Morrison and Satan. In a fun way though.
OX:
Where did your pledge class go on their pledge bolt/trip? What brothers
did you take? Any funny stories you can tell? MN: Our bolt to Akron was the best time I've ever
had - in Akron. Three of us got into the bars on John's (Chabbott's)
ID - one after the other after the other. I remember burning rubber
out of a mcdonalds parking lot with a baby's high chair tray, or something
like that. Good times.
OX: With whom do you
stay in contact? MN: I stayed in touch with Dave Latham for a couple
of years after college but lost touch. I used to run into Mike Feeney
at grateful dead shows up and down the east coast, but sadly, those
days are over. RIP Michael Joseph Patrick Feeney. Used to be in touch
with Maltz and Lynch, but haven't heard from them in a while. Not
since Lynchy moved to Florida.
OX:
Any brother you are looking to contact? MN: I'd love to run into Stella and Scary, of only
to re-live the great pickup lines they used to use .. "hey - wanna
come up to my room and look at my shirts" - Tom Stella. Of course
Scavello, my big brother. And Grimaldi, because I'm pretty sure he
owes me some $$$.
OX: What other activities
or organizations were you involved with during your college days? MN: None that are really legal - better wait till the
statute of limitations runs out on that one. Is Mark Prushinski really
a PA State Trooper?
OX: Tell us about
your family. Have you married? Do you have children? MN: Just got married in April '05, in New Orleans. No
kids (that i know of) yet, my wife Angelena and I just bought a place
in upper manhattan on 145th st.
OX: What do you do for a
living? MN: I'm a journalist - a producer for the CBS Evening
News. You know - the liberal media.
OX: What hobbies do you
enjoy? MN: I play golf, and I still go see live music whenever
possible. I try to go to New Orleans for the Jazz Fest every year.
And I play golf!
OX: What are your goals
for the next few years? MN: Kids - but not for a little while. Break 80 on
a regular basis.
