Mexicans tour of keesler afb; Hi all , I came into the d&b about June 1964, left in June '65. Rick Borelli was drum major for most of my time, Mohrman was percussion section leader, he created the snare routine called 'styx' . Lt. Jerry Williams was Corp leader. I can't remember his name but our black guidon started the twirling and throwing the guidon up in the air, he was very talented. I miss our flag football games between the barracks. Hope to hear from some of "old gang" , haha , literally old now , ciao 4 now , phil

A new airplane; It was a crazy and fun time. Marched parades everywhere. Mardi Gras was incredible, 10 1/2 miles. Some of the best times I ever had.

For everyone to be happy.; Was at Keesler AFB for most of '89 & got into D&B corps because I just happened to be assigned to live there in 19th squadron.
It was so much fun. I never anticipated being part of such a fun group. We went on so many parades all around the area when everyone else was off & doing whatever they felt like. I don't regret it one bit. Sgt Gossett was in charge during that time and he also insisted that I learn to read music, rather than play by ear. I'm out now & living in the Atlanta GA area. I can be reached at

What You Want For Christmas
time with family; one valve + rotator.horn. great times. survived one mild hurricane, stupid race riots, unofficial parade in New Orleans, and a year of electronics tech school. Lackland AFB was easy and waiting for school opening after arriving at Keesler was my intro to D&B corps. (KP was the default choice) After my first leave home, I had my 1950 Dodge which made the 90 miles to New Orleans often. Gas was 20 Cents/gal. My AFSC was ECM and I spent 3 years in and around B-47's. To my surprise, I once got orders to pick up a burgle from base supply and travel orders to play Taps at a memorial service. I had not touched a horn in two years since Keesler and was very nervus. I loved the drum beat which I try to duplicatX6g7Yetable.Often I recall the calipso melody echoing between the French Quarter buildings. I was recently at the main gate of Keesler but didn't have the contact info to get on base. The Biloxi museum had pictures of Katrinas devastation.

Sam Adams!; I got to Keesler 30 days after Camille just as the body searches stopped. Was in PATS (personnel awaiting tech school) for 10 weeks waiting for the backlog of students to clear. I attended basic electronics on the newly created C-Shift from midnight to 6 for about three or four weeks. In the corps I was a contra bass player, but occasionally filled in on baritone. Capt Barnes was in command with then TSgt Roundtree as NCOIC. Sarge received MSgt before I left in Aug 70. Sarge's wife ( we called her Mom) worked in student assignments and would help us to get good assignments if they were open and available to our AFSC. I went to CCKAB in Taichung, Taiwan. Just found an old friend from the corps, Sam Coppola. I'm sending the site manager all my pics just pulled out of the basement. I retired in July, 1989.

Jaguar XF Coupe; What a wonderful Experience. I think about it frequently.
I especially recall the trip to Moody AFB and the Mari Gras parade.
The air conditioned barracks were a welcomed relief from the Triagle hot house cinder block barracks.
The troops were Fantastic. I especially remember Bob Evans. What a classy guy.
I'm delighted to have found this web site. Too bad so much was lost in Camile.
