Hi Pat! I hope you're doing well and that you and the family are enjoying a wonderful summer. I'm doing okay and getting ready to start a new job on Monday. I hope to see you at the 75th anniversary celebration. It's been a long time since I've seen you and the rest of the alums...it's going to be a fun time!
Pat - 2 things... Are you & Lorrie going to be at anything this summer, so I know where to keep an eye out for you, & by chance are you in touch with any of the MIA snares, i.e. Pete, Vinnie, ... to see if you can get them to surface in either Montclair or Giants Stadium?? Hopefully we'll see you guys at some point. Joe & I are doing the Montclair/Giants Stadium thing & then Deanna & I are doing the last week of tour with the corps on uniform duty. Touch base when you can. Caren
Yes, Pat...Jimmy Day is my brother. I am trying to convince him to do the 75th Ann. thing at Giants Stadium. It would be very cool. Are you going to be there?

Hi Pat! Great to reconnect! Well, I'm about to do my last gig with the band on 2/28 (long, sad story), but you can check them out at myspace.com\humanwheelsmusic. I don't know it in a while. Glad you like the '78 photos!
Hey Pat. I'm not done with it yet. My initial transfer wasn't very clear so I'm trying a different transfer method. Should have something soon. Thanks for your patience.
