MsBusDriver Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 There was Gail in the canteen truck preparing a huge spaghetti "snack" for the corps. He opened up a bottle of sherry and dumped it into the tomato sauce. Looking at me and smiling, while saying. "there - these kids ought to get a good night sleep tonight." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, the best Spaghetti sauce ever. He also used to dump a can of beer into the Tuna and mayonaise mix for our sandwiches. He sure did know how to take care of us! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) That John Mauro..... What a Handsome son-of-a-gun, but still disappointed that he never marched with SCV, but I did bring some fun to the West Coast when I marched John <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My husband marched with you in 78, he was the skinny Contra from California ..He's shared some stories with me about you! You're a legend! :) :P Edited March 21, 2005 by Lancerlady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptr250 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I visited SCV's housing site in 1979 during finals week in Birmingham after one last show before prelims. I was hoping to hook up with a former 2-7 bari that was aging out with SCV. There was Gail in the canteen truck preparing a huge spaghetti "snack" for the corps. He opened up a bottle of sherry and dumped it into the tomato sauce. Looking at me and smiling, while saying. "there - these kids ought to get a good night sleep tonight." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, the best Spaghetti sauce ever. He also used to dump a can of beer into the Tuna and mayonaise mix for our sandwiches. He sure did know how to take care of us! :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> . . . and let's not forget his beef stew! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gail loved to spice up the food on special occasions. His special spaghetti sauce was his most famous and the tradition has been kept alive by the alumni at SCV’s birthday dinner! I’ll never forget the story he told about how once on the last day of tour he decided to spice up the corps fruit cocktail by adding a touch of brandy. As he told it, after the corps had been served, a member of the guard (Sue C.) went to him and stated, “Mr. Royer this fruit cocktail tastes awful! Did you do anything to it?” Sue was a longtime vet and knew of Gail’s surprises. According to Gail he went and checked his brandy bottle and discovered that an unknown corps member had drunk the brandy and substituted Listerine! Then Gail chuckled as only he could, wiped the tears from his eyes and stated, “The funniest thing is that Sue was the only one that complained! The kids must have really been hungry that night!” It’s too bad he is no longer around to share his stories! RIP GR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerFi Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 "special spaghetti sauce"<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not many Italians in your area huh? Sauce? :P It's OK, you can called it what you want to! George use to make gravy and spanish rice, most of the time I went hungry, not because it wasn't good, actually I don't know if it was good! I would eat when we were home, but not on tour, it's so difficult to go from enough for 12 to enough for 212 and in Italian families it's very difficult to like anyone else's gravy or meatballs except your own Mothers! (meatballs, when I was eating animals) Very difficult to even smell it actually. Although I do have to say that "Nana B." made a mean gravy, actually, she made a mean everything! Now that was a cook! We had many spaghetti dinners as did Quasar, I'd say 99% of their last names ended in a-e-i-o or u! But it's a tough gig cooking for 150...no matter what you're cooking! In 2-7 Italians had their tuna with relish, others never heard of it! You just cannot please everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
