xandandl Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) The Cadets will be hosting a beefstake testimonial dinner Oct. 13th in honor of Dave Shaw, known on DCP as OnceUponATime. Beside his postings here and his legendary allegiance to The Cadets (including being at shows and Championships this summer only moments after being released from hospital treatments,) Dave has been a frequent author for a number of the drum corps activity publications over the generations. For a time he was also an instructor with The Casper Troopers under Jim Jones. He knows drum corps past and present from the inside out, all the doings of DCI from its origins on, and of course was pivotal in maintaining the honor of The Cadets in its various periods (Holy Name, Garfield, Bergen County, Allentown.) He's well worthy of the acknowledgements and I am sure he is glad to be the vehicle of helping the fundraising for the future of the corps under the resurrected administration and membership. At least his smiles, attitude, and energetic words at Indy seemed that way. Won't you join us in honoring him? And if you can't make it, the program book will print your message or ad. https://yea.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=248 Edited August 25, 2018 by xandandl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these new sensitive protocols, you know. We don't want to be accused of elder abuse. Being born on the 13th. Some luck there when the calendars turn to Fridays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
