LobstahWhat You Want For Christmas
Heaven- Chris Harris's Alumni page lists many of the guys I performed with. Had the best time ever playing troop change, parades, field shows while in Diddy Bop tech school. Great memories still remain--best drum cadence ever, that backward lean, crazy soprano chops, and who can forget that fire lane!

If I could do it all over again- Gret times great memories. I swore that when I was short 10 days I would keep marching until the day I left and I did. After troop change turned in my bugle, hopped in my chevy Vega still in uniform and was on my way to Wright Pat. Was the last barracks chief in the WWII buildings.

Bugles - carried one of the two long horns- I went to the Corps right after second phase basic. I had two great roommates that got me through the Boot phase rather quickly with two Super Boot awards. We marched a lot of local parades and performed at special events on holidays like the Sailors Home for Veterans Day. I was Bay Chief for a while and then moved to Assistant Drum Major for the last few months of my tour. I retired as a Senior Master Sgt from the HQ AFCC IG Team at Scott AFB, IL on 1 Dec 1985. The Corps was a great start to my career. Paul Salisbury, Eddie Quick and Tim English were some of the troops I hung out with.

tacoWhat You Want For Christmas
I want everyone to have a merry Jesus Christ birthday party.- I want to think the Corps members, and the wonderful officers at Kessler. When a member of the Corps, July 1, 1963 was a very dark day for me when I learned my father had dropped dead for a heart attack. My dear friends in the Corps became my family, as did the commanding officers and they all helped me get through that time of sorrow and grief. I am forever in their debt.

Conservative governments. I took an oath to protect the Constitution- What a wonderful experience. I wish I had taken pictures and kept up with some of the great people I met. I think I'm in some of Ian's photos, but being in the back row had it's disadvantages. I'm looking forward to a southern trip next year and expect to stop by Keesler for a visit. Hurricanes and modernization have changed it beyond recognition, I'm sure.
