Ken Newman

That's funny...because the guy who's yawning, his nickname is " elf" Don't think anyone could make out the guy who seems to be sitting on his head..His mane is George Wicks

The last competitive year for Liberty Bell was 1957. A combination of the thought that we were screwed in Atlantic City and a large number of age outs did us in. The corps continued on feor a couple of years but really never got back on the field. Some of the remaining kids wound up with Vasella and Phila PAL corps Liberty Bell was a member of the Penn Jersey circuit and spent most of the time in North Jersey competing against all of the big time jr corps up there. We pretty much held our own there, but weren't able to win We did win the brass caption quite a few times, if that was some kind of consolation We won Pa States for 8 consecutive years. Main competition in Pa those years were the West Reading Polics Cadets. We also were New Jersey Open Class champs a few times Hope that answers a few questions Ken Uniforms in the pic were the old heavy long black jackets, shield on front was red with the Liberty Bell on it The following year 1956 we wore red satin shirts with blk/white sash

Coulda waited awhile James As I told Nanci, take notice to the guy in the middle wearing a different jacket. His name is Dick Foltz, he had just joined and we didn't have a uniform big enough for him The pic is from 1955 and we are still playing together with the Reilly Alumni Ken

Late tuning in, but knew that was Street Post and Wild Bill Love the full shot showing those old beer signs..Gretz, Ortliebs would have definitely given up Philly Could have been one of thos monster hills in Manayunk or Germantown Think Jim?

OK pic is from the 1982 Liberty Bell Cadets 25 year reunion of the 1957 corps...The last competing year Middle man is Billy Riehl who was the third snare drummer with Dick Filkins and Bill Kauffman who are both in the WDCHOF Ken Newman

Yo Nanci That is definitely Rip and the man standing with his arms folded is his dad JB I would have a really hard time believing otherwise Ken

Will be at both with Reilly See you then

Are you kidding???? :>) It's those wild and crazy guys from...nevermind you know

"JOMBA" ask him about that mountain :>))

Shame on you Jimmy Lou was a long time Archie guy, still with red shorts AFO/OFA....right?

Maybe Ricky Schroeder?

YO Didn't realize Elvis was in the house Saturday night... Closer was , of course, "It Ain't Easy Being Green "(1$ to Kermit) segueing into our signature "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" Redshamrock

####, I have no idea who this guy is,,but that being said, I do remember spending a lot of time at Chuck Johnson's place, Living in Philly at the time , it probably contributed to me being married a second time. Love this thread, and you Nanci for starting it Ken

Cossetti knows her

####..must be losing my eyesight more than I thought Would have sworn that was Ray Fallon

Billy had been a good friend of mine since the days of the Ridley Park ( a suburb of Philly) Rangers, I SUBMITTED THIS PIC BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD NEVER SEEN A PIC THAT CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF D& BC THAT I KNOW AND LOVE THE BEER, THE CIGARETTE, AND THE BUGLE...LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF BILLY TAYLOR

Well that's 2 out of 3..Who's rhe other guy
