You seemed to have aged a bit from 1974?? I have very fond memories of those years although we were not very competitive. Hope to see you around the summer this year.

So, you met up w/ Bubbada-bubbada-Bob Peterson and Jimmy D on a cruise. How cool is that? I still remember that a couple of times in the '70's you arranged to have USMC musicians play at a couple of Winter Guard shows. Do you get to go to the Punkin' Chunkin' contests? If you haven't, they're a scream! This Ning-thing is a very cool addition to our HNCC community. God bless and I hope you are well. Please find me or my Dad at a thing this Summer.

I regret not coming to the Cadets one year earlier to play in your line in 76. I am teaching again at UVA and loving it.

I have read some of your posts and comments and have a question or two for you. You had posted that you see Terry Hoffnagle. I was wondering if you knew how to contact him. Dave Rice and I are trying to track him down. We are also looking for Vince Frega and Lou Reda. I am getting involved with the Alumni and searching for drummers to join. That is the other reason I am posting.... Are you planning on joining the Alumni Corp? I understand they have only a few drummers so I am going to all I can find from our era trying to get them to come on board. I am looking forward to reconnecting. So glad to have found you again! Keep in touch!!
Your brother,
FROG

Not sure if you’ll remember but we marched for a number of years together in the Little Falls Cadets. I played bass drum when you were there. I eventually followed you over to Garfield in 1968, but missed you as you had joined the USMC; though I did get to march with Mike that year. I marched ’68 and ’69 for Garfield playing rudimental bass.

I just recently found this web-site and seeing some of posts and mentions of folks I marched with and have come to know over the years brings back a lot of great memories. Maybe one of these days I will get to see you at a Cadets’ event and be able to say hello in person!

At 11:22am on July 27, 2008, Paul DeLiberto said…: Hi guys, how have you been? I've been busy, so most times I take a quick look on the site and that's it. I'm doing good, family is fine, getting ready to send my daughter off to college. I haven't been involved in about 10 years now, just a show now and then. Hope to see everyone next year though, are you coming up for the 75th events? Take care, chat with you soon.

At 12:59pm on July 17, 2008, Greg Cinzio said…: Good to hear from you. I'm still in the NY/NJ area (New City, NY), playing with the Skyliner Alumni Corps (w/Jimmy D'Amico and other Cadet Alums), and a local community band (Ramsey Wind Symphony - 45 members). My two girls (22 and 18) are home for part of the summer, Katelyn (my youngest) is a Sophmore at the Univ of Delaware.
Looking forward to seeing you soon. Best regards.

we just missed .. I marched 1952-61 (soprano); left when I headed to college. Prior to 07 I hadn't seen the Cadets "live" since 64 .. sounds like you were the the drum line then. Send Bill Ridings any names/info you have; he's working with Ken Samara on the 60s. Have always loved the MCDBC .. saw them in Annapolis last year. MY KIND of drum corps! FHNSAB... Bill
