I don't remember that name. I replaced a guy named Larry Foyen. It's been a few years, and some of the guys I would probably remember by sight rather than by name.
Later...

Nice to hear from you. I was still up online and saw your reply. To answer your question, I was on the road with Ray Charles, Lou Rawls, and played broadway shows for the last 20+years. I contract with Mannheim Steamroller, The Temptations, The Spinners, Casting Crowns, Franki Valli, Gladys Knight, and others when they are 5 hours or so from my home. I would love to see you if I get to Columbus. I have a few family members there and make that ride occasionally. What do you do these days? Love to hear from you again.
Best regards...
Jeff Flanagan

Hey, how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in awhile.

No chance to get a 1984 book. However . . . the 75th Anniversary Book is about 30 days away from being available for sale. Stay tuned . . .

Is he taking visitors, or is that not appropriate at the moment? I'll say some prayers for him.

I am really sorry to hear that. What is wrong? I know he is getting up there in age, but is there something in particular? Does he still live in Upper Arlington?

We have spring break coming up at the end of next week. Had flag corps tryouts, drumlines starting up, haven't picked out next years marching band show yet. Put together a paper for our superintendent requesting and justifying an increase in our supplemental contracts especially the flag corps and the assistant band director contracts, and I have to turn in next years budget by Friday. Other than that, things are just peachy!! Seriously, it's going pretty well. Next years band numbers are up a little from this year. We should be pushing 200 next year I think. How are things going with you? Are you playing anywhere?
