A Life of Service
Former State Senator Frank Watson ’68 Reflects and Offers Advice to Fellow Brothers
As a former Illinois State Senator and State Republican Leader, Frank Watson was part of an exclusive and influential group for more than 30 years, serving the citizens of Illinois from 1978-2009, until his retirement due to a stroke. Demonstrating leadership, dedication, and commitment to the American people, this experience was not Frank’s first time being part of such a distinctive group.
In fact, his membership in Phi Gamma Delta during his years at Purdue University were a gateway to making connections on Capitol Hill.
For those of you who didn’t know State Street is currently under construction. Called RE-STATE, this project will reinvent State Street at the heart of Purdue University and West Lafayette, IN. The latest and most intensive phase yet of the State Street Redevelopment Project began on May 15.
There are few more exciting events that call alumni back to West Lafayette than Homecoming. This year’s event will take place September 22-24, and we expect to see you there!
