The O.E. Ellis Society is a men's business. civic, and social organization that was founded in Kansas City in 1984. This website will present the history of the group and its efforts to engage "up and coming" individuals in the process of giving back to the Greater Kansas City Community. As leaders in business and civic endeavors the men of OEE can be found in nearly every corner of the metro, much like our namesake "One-Eyed" Ellis, the trapper and trader who presided over the naming meeting of what has become "Kansas City." Check back often for updates and to learn more about our Anniversary Events.

As of this listing there are 220 known members of OEE (we are still not sure about Kurt Ruf, but what the heck, maybe he should finally get initiated).  (So 220, 221, what ever it takes). If you are not on the list, please don't get mad, even Venable has been left off the list from time to time....but he's just a poor college professor.

Please feel free to post additions, corrections, or if you want to be deleted.  Remember, what goes on the net...stays on the net....

Who the heck is Kripke??

On Big Bang Theory, Barry Kripke is a Caltech plasma physicist and an unlikable colleague of Leonard and Sheldon. He has a case of rhotacism, where he pronounces "r" and "l" as "w". With a knack for ribbing people, he is an on-and-off friend to Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Rajesh.  He might make a fine addition to the OEE rush list.....or not. Bazinga!!
