  1. Im my search for media materials concerning the 1971 Lynwood (Hollywood) CA DIPLOMATS Jr. Drum and Bugle Corps, I'm asking if perchance anybody who either marched in or was connected with the 1971 AMERICAN LEGION NATIONAL DRUM & BUGLE CORPS CHAMPIONSHIPS might have photos, programs, video, etc. of THE DIPLOMATS, who placed 6th that year. Please respond to Facebook page group LAKEWOOD/LYNWOOD DIPLOMATS DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS. Thanks, R. Housley.
  2. 1971 Lynwood, CA Diplomats Jr. Drum & Bugle Corps . Pictured is the end of JC Superstar Concert number.
  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHxEjoesxgs Velvet Knights on "Maude" TV show. Clip includes Wayne Bergeron, and ex-Diplomat soprano section mate Russell Rawls among others. (Originally found and posted by Ms. Nancy Holgate: mahalo!) RON HOUSLEY
  4. Fran: 74 Kingsmen's Toledo performance is on xkingsmen.com in the media section. RON HOUSLEY
  5. The guy in the shades is 67 lead sop Peter Aguayo (spelling is probably way off). RON HOUSLEY 67 Kingsmen ..etc...
  6. Anaheim Kingsmen and Kingsmen Alumni Corps rifle Dale Nissenson Gough taught Alberta when Fred Sanford, Mike Dufy and Ralph Hardiman did. There's a great old photo of all of them outside an elevator with Ralph wearing a purple disco suit....I wish I had it handy but it's most likely been published around here somehwere.
  7. I checked with Tom Day at Bugles Across America and he, also, had presented her with appropriate medals and certificates. RON HOUSLEY
  8. I posted this in the DCA Historical forum but didn't want the rest to miss it: Donna Mae Smith was the first woman bugler in the history of the US Army. Later she was an instructor and, apparently, drum major of The Hormel Girls Drum & Bugle Corps, the first all woman corps to compete in The American Legion Nationals in 1947. I wrote to her some years ago while doing research on The Hormel Girls and she was very kind to reply. A very sweet woman and very modest about her place in the history of field brass. Here's the story from her local paper: http://www.nrtoday.com/article/20090722/NE...entprofile=1057 Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the page. RON HOUSLEY
  9. This is Donna Mae Smith. She was the first woman bugler in the US Army and later a member of The Hormel Girls Drum and Bugle Corps. I had written her years ago while researching The Hormel Girls Drum and Bugle Corps, the first all-woman corps to compete at American Legion Nationals in 1947, and received a very nice and personable letter back from her....a very sweet woman and certainly modest about her place in the history of field brass. She recently was inducted into the Bugler's Hall of Fame and here's the story from her local paper: http://www.nrtoday.com/article/20090722/NE...entprofile=1057 Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the page.

  10. RE: Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN. Sigh, I miss that old park. RON HOUSLEY (Mpls: 73-77)
  11. Re: Just curious, were you with the Lynwood Diplomats in New Orleans in 68 for the AL Nat's? No, in August of 1968 I was in the US Army at Ft. Lewis, WA. I started teaching the Diplomats brass line in the fall of 1970 and was with them until just before AL Nationals in Houston in 71. There are a fair number of Lakewood-Lynwood-Hollywood Diplomats around who marched with the corps in 1968, a fair bunch who later marched with The Anaheim Kingsmen and even later The Kingsmen Alumni Corps in 2007 at The Rose Bowl. Here's The Diplomats page from Munson Chan's Scrapbook of Early California Drum and Bugle Corps: http://mellom007.tripod.com/Scrapbook2001/dippics.html Thanks, Munson........rock 'em and and sock 'em at DCA, Renegades!
