MsBusDriver Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Are they personal photographs or might they be from the Collection of Walter Ermel ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you mean these? Grandpa: Joplin Missouri AL '38 3rd tenor from right Mom: High School Drum Corps '38 They are my personal pictures of my Grandfather and my mother . Here's another of Mom and her Herald Horn. Who is Walter Ermel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Come to think of it, '62 is probably the year that MY uniform was new as well! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I even knew who wore mine back then, as the guy, Jerry Chirichella, was a helper...his two young brothers Steve (snare) and Richie (DM) were in the corps in my day. Richie broke his leg in a Cadet/Muchacho football game after the season (71?). He was doing great unitl one day he threw a blood clot and died instantly. He was laid out in uniform, shako, gloves and conductor's baton on top of the casket. We all filed in and sang the Holy Name song to him one more time. Probably the saddest moment of my life...still gives me the chills remembering us trying to sing with the tears streaming down our faces. Richie used a conductor's baton as far back as 69. He was a VERY classy guy, one of the best DM's I've ever seen on and esp off the field. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd83 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Although we placed 4th in '83, I'm very proud of what we did accomplish. What a great group of people we had. This is the end of the opener. On the front sideline, I'm the second horn player from the right. Edited April 16, 2005 by Jd83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
