Hmmmm there's a joke in there somewhere about Ruth being wet in her bedroom :blink:

Jim...don't forget that the beginning of 79 we wore the old Devil uni's...well the hornline did, the drums just wore jackets and black pants for the first few shows...and the spraypainted shakos! (Jeez I always seem to equate black spraypaint with Westshore...we used it for dang near everything! Hats, If you forgot your marching shoes, we could always spray your sneakers, I remember Benny spraying the tires on the truck before a parade once!)

Email or meet up at Central Dauphin show would be cool, thanks. Will check closer to show time as this spring/summer has been a disaster planning stuff. My moms been in the hospital twice in three months with various problems and hope she gets out (and stays the #### out) this week. Only good thing is she has a new doc and he has been keeping her in while he checks (and many cases fixes) what the previous smuck left go for years.

Ben can't remember the beginning of 1979 at all. One big friggin' blur that probably is because I was freaking out realizing I would graduate in December and had no ####### idea where I should live.

Remember freezing our butts off at the Rochester show. At old Aquinas stadium facing backfield doing the warm up and people had blankets in their laps and wearing snowmobile gloves. The applause was like "thuump, thuump....".

No...No...NO! Bob is probably the most safest bet of any male in the entire world that people can tell he is 100% STRAIGHT!

I concur with Jeff's post... the black and powder blue unis came out in late June early July!

I'll never forget how we thought that we were goingo SHOCK the world with the new look and BAM! Reading came out with the coats in Danville! :(
