TennTux Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Has anyone heard from Glenn? Tony, have you heard from him? Is he ok? He's been MIA for a while now. Glenn replied to the email this morning... Been busy at work and personal stuff. Hopes everyone is well and send his regards. (He also wished me a early HB, easy for us both to remember the date..... we share it! heh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfallon Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Joseph Nicholson. He's listed in the Hurricanes HOF. As well he should be. Joe had the kind of leadership that defies classification - he wasn't a showboat, nor a big talker. You wouldn't have had camera crowds snapping him running shirtless in the rain. He didn't go around making speeches about God blessing the Hurricanes, and he never got sucked into the "us vs them" political world. Like John Fisher who frequents these parts, Joe was one of the guys who played for today and planned for tomorrow. You rarely caught him riding the wave, super-excited after a great year or a great show, and you never caught him down no matter how things were going. Solid player, more solid guy. This was not a team of cupcakes (no pun) to be a leader of either. These were tough, tough guys. It would currently take about an hour and a half to take the 80s Hurricane bari line through a TSA checkpoint. They didn't travel light. If you were going to be a leader there you were an authentically tough guy. Joe did good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an anchor of the bari line in St Rapheals and the Hurcs for Joe, You, Screech, Dion, etc. for many years...I would have simply described him as a great soldier! :thumbup:/>/>/> Edited August 18, 2013 by fish66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish66 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Joseph Nicholson. He's listed in the Hurricanes HOF. Here's the Hurcs HOF write up.... Nicholson, Joseph Joe Nicholson holds the distinction of being one of thirteen original members that initially formed St. Raphael’s Golden Buccaneers in 1957.He stayed with the highly successful corps until he aged out of the junior activity. He was a member of the Buc’s touted horn quartet that at one point went undefeated for three years in addition to amassing many titles as well as National recognition on the individual scene of the ‘60’s. During this time, Joe also taught St. Raphael’s feeder corps, the Musketeers. Joe came to the Hurricanes in 1970 were he anchored the lead baritone section for fifteen years, through ’84. In the wake of a down turn, Joe came back in 1990 through 1995 and again in 2000. Following that season he continued on as a drill tech in 2001 &2002. He was named “Hurricane of the Year” for 1977 and throughout his long career, proved to be an inspiration to those around him by exemplifying a work ethic and dedication to the Corps that sets him apart. In his many years with the Corps, there have been several highlights, but perhaps his proudest achievement is simply that of being a Hurricane! Subsequent to his competitive career, Joe has played with and serves on the board of the Park City Pride Alumni Corps and has also served on the board of the Hurricane Alumni Association. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
