I hope this is the right e-mail.

I played in Scout House from 1959 to 1964. You may know that they have started an Alumni Corps. Well once Drum Corps is in you blood it never leaves, it is an experience of a life time! After 40 years of being away from Drum Corps, this year I was convinced to join Scout House Alumni Band, & I am so glad that I did, I am having a blast! Had not had a horn in my hands in 40 years, but is so amazing how it all comes back to you!

The reason for my e-mail is that Scout House is having an Open House & practice on Jan, 18/04 in Cambridge.The Address is Steel Workers' Hall, 510 Collier MacMillan Drive, Cambridge. The time is 1:00PM to
4:00 PM. If you or any of your Alumni would like to join us you would be more than welcome!

I have just noticed that the Discussion Board is dead. I will remove the link.

Long live the blog!

The RSS feed doesn't work yet. I am working on it. I am amazed I can do it at all.

Impressive tho' isn't it?

Oh, I guess I better follow up on baby news! Sam P. King was born in early September. He was 6 lbs 4 oz at birth and is now a healthy 3 month+ old. Sorry to be cagey about details but I don't want to have people taking credit cards out in his name or something equally ridiculous.

I also have a new job with a Canadian broadcaster in their archives department. Changes all around!

Merry Christmas all!

I have linked to this blog from the Ambassadors site (finally). Eventually I will turn this into the new News/Why is this here page but until I can get some time to edit the blog template I'll leave that alone. Welcome!

What are you looking at this for? DCI finals are this weekend! Have a look at some of the up-to-the-minute reports from the DCI site: www.dci.org

There are at least four Canadian corps in Florida including the Kavaliers who are in the Div. I, semi-finals tonight. Bandettes and Blue Saints made it there as well. Go Northern Ontario!
